Planting 2014

Planting started off late and with a bang. We had a few glitches with our new auto steer and clutches i.e. Losing signal, drifting, etc. For newbies to auto steer and clutches, it takes a little while to completely understand what you’re doing and what buttons not to push.

We planted half our corn acres then got rained out for a week. Today we are back at it and fingers crossed, everything is working. It finally feels like a proper spring day here in NE Iowa.

Perfect conditions

I am planting the first field of corn today. The conditions are more than ideal. Now if I could understand how to work our auto steer system…
I can’t take the time right now to figure it out. We don’t get spring conditions like this often enough!
