Farm Week in Pictures 5/6/11

Filling up the planter for the first time this year!

And we’re off! Planting season has begun!

Tractor and planter calling it a day

Some conservation going on here.  This is a filter strip along a ditchbank.

Setting up varieties going to be planted.  First four rows in blue are for refuge acres.  What are refuge acres?  Click here.

Inspecting the river bottom field to see how wet it is.  It’s a long crescent-shaped field, and you can’t see one end from the opposite end!

I got lucky here and didn’t get stuck. I let the tractor keep on auto tracking and I eased the planter out of the ground.
