Well, Tonight was the last of spring planting...... we put in 2 acres of soybeans and about 1-1/2 acres of corn was disked up and replanted in 85 day corn.

The spring has been extremely wet, and very cold. Both have contributed to crop loss this spring. We got an early jump on plowing, and had most everything plowed by Mid May. Then the rains came, and an average temp of below 60 degrees for MAY and the 1/2 of the corn we did get planted did very poorly. I' m sure some rotted in the ground, but worse - alot germinated and turkeys and geese walked up and down the rows plucking the 1" seedlings that lay dormant because it was too cold for growth. One 3 acre plot of corn was on a hilltop, and so far is doing OK, the rest is fair at best.

On the bright side, the clover plots are STRONG with the cool weather and rain. To make the situation better, the abundant rains in May and so far in June will DEFINITELY contribute to better than average antler growth this summer. In fact, food is everywhere and even the lush clover is often passed up now for abundant browse/forbs everywhere. The underbrush is VERY thick, and the hayfields still are uncut (more fawn survival as a result). The deer had a great spring.

I' ll have pictures to post as the summer goes on, but I don' t think I' ll have the bumper corn I had last year to show you all.
