Planting Soybeans

On this gloriously sunshine-y with a reasonable wind, I, Margaret Spiegel, planted about 12 acres of soybeans!  I directly contributed to our family's income for the year (in more than just the indirect grunt work capacity).  Dad broke the field in for me, rode two rounds with me to ensure I had no questions, and then I was off by myself.  It really isn't so difficult.  I haven't planted any corn yet, the ground is too wet, but I'll probably get to plant more beans up at the Bradford farm tomorrow.  I may also learn to disk, so that will be exciting.  While dad finished planting this afternoon, I distributed salt blocks to both houses for the water conditioner and to as many animal pens as we had blocks for.  I also picked up all the marking flags we set out to divide the corn ground from the bean ground.  We are officially done planting at the Henry County farm!  The rest of the day was spent mowing my lawn while I waited for dad to return from hauling the planter up the Bradford farm.  We fed the south yard this evening as well as the cattle over at home, but we really focused on finishing planting the beans here today.  Yay for one farm being planted!
