Today was the first time I’ve been out to the farm since my corn and beans were planted. The corn was planted extract my two week ago. The beans were planted about a month ago. Both were planted by my farmer/neighbor using his 8 row no till planter. The beans were no tilled straight into my terminated cover crop of rye, clover and radishes. The corn had the same cover crop but he turned the cover crop under before planting. Both fiends had hog manure knifed in this spring as well. I asked him to up the bean population count to try and get ahead of the deer. Looks like the beans are super heavy and not coming on real strong just yet. The beans were planted about 4 weeks ago so I thought they might be a bit taller, granted we have been dry till yesterday and today. The corn was planted two weeks ago today and hasn’t received any rain since planting till yesterday. The corn is 4-6” tall and given its only been two weeks and no rain I assume it’s doing well. Of note, there’s a ton of clover now sprouting with my corn. A lot of my clover (frosty berseem and crimson) didn’t take last fall I think because it got drilled too deep. Now that he’s turned the soil a ton of it looks to be coming on now. I’ll keep updating my progress.
