playing old school farmer . it is in for repairs so might as well give it a workout .
setup for row weeding , but did the job . Knocked down the hills and leveled it out ready to disk and add the old bedding from the chickens and duck runs .

Dave,
Interesting, your soil must drain well. Here in Northern Illinois I've only seen a couple of farmers out in the field and only one planting corn. Saw a couple posts from sweet corn farmers that had planted, but they always push the envelope as the first ones with corn for sale wins.
Looking for over an inch of rain Monday afternoon- Monday night, so that will slow things up again.
No garden planting yet for me.
Bob

Yeah Bob @myerslawnandgarden we drain really well . We are on a Glacial Morane . All sand and gravel where we are , but not far from us is clay plains . We have added tons of organics to the garden to hold moister and food for the plants . Made like Nascar and just kept turning left in circles untill it was done .
