Very Nice. Wish I could get in the 8650 and field finisher and work the daylights out of a few quarters like last year. Not alot of ground work this spring though.

I live about 10 miles west of the river. Seems like im in IL more than I am in MO. I have alot of friends who farm in the bottoms. Yeah Monte Burch is plantin beans. I read in succesful farming that you can get a yeild bump from planting beans early. But beans wont take a frost like corn will. |

Nice pics Chris. That new planter looks like a beast. We won't start planting up here for a couple weeks, but as soon as the ground is dry from the skiff of snow we just had the strip tiller is going to be heading to the fields.
