Disking corn stalks

It’s that time of the year again when you find pretty much everyone you know out in the field doing something. And what is Daryl working on now? Well he was disking corn stalks to try to break them down before the next crop will be planted. In this field he’ll plant soybeans,  but he’s not going to do that for a few weeks. Even thought the weather has been nice lately, he thinks our ground is just not ready yet for beans. 

So here’s a picture of Daryl disking down the stalks in our field late last night. When I asked him how it went do you know what he said? He said it was great! Now sometimes husbands (and even wives I’m sure!) don’t necessarily say what they actually mean – but in this case guess what? He was telling the truth! The equipment worked well and the stalks were in perfect shape to be cut up. Yup, it’s a good day to be a farmer!
