How Great The Yield From A Fertile Field

Corn

Friday afternoon we finally got into the field and started planting corn.  We don't want to have to buy corn for our hogs in September, so it was important to get some planted as soon as possible.  We planted Friday afternoon and Saturday.  Field conditions were one warm, sunny day away from being fit, but we pushed it anyway.  Hope we don't get burned!
We don't work Sundays (all of our neighbors did), so today the conditions were almost ideal.  We had a productive day planting.  I had a 24 row planter to the South of me, a 24 row planter to the Northeast, and a 16 row planter to the North, so I felt small working with a 12 row!  Rain is forecasted for most of the week, but we made it through today without any.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7
