Edi is growing like a weed and is still a big hit with all of her siblings!
With all of this nice weather we are having it sure makes long days for my guys. Last week we had the tankers out to put manure on the fields. My hubby keeps records of how much we put on each field so he knows exactly how much nitrogen is available for the corn. As soon as the manure is applied we then worked it in .
If the fields don't have enough nitrogen on them we knife some more into the ground. Corn needs nitrogen to grow~ After it is knifed in, we then have the field worked. (Sorry I didn't get a picture of that step) The ground is then ready to plant!Here is a picture of one of the fields getting planted! As we are planting we apply a starter fertilizer to help get the seed going! And as with anything we do, the guys have it equipment set so we add just the right amount!
Hope you are all having a safe spring!
