Colfax Indiana | This will be my 33rd season. Indiana here. History of me is later farms we have planted have been the best. This is a continuous conversation every year. Won’t grow in a bag. Neighbors are going. Facts are they don’t pay your bills. We are planting for high yields here. Corn can’t have a bad day. Not much different with beans. To early they can get late season issues. I understand the earlier the better for flowering and the summer solstice discussion. So usually we plant beans first. But 2 years ago we didn’t. We was later start which was May 2nd. We ran corn. Then beans. Had son graduating from college. I Had a very weak mother that wanted to see her grandson graduate in another state. We was 4 days getting lined out to get her ther and back. Then I planted last field. Dry as a bone. Planted them deep as I could go. May 22nd. They was the best beans I’ve ever raised at 79.5 bu/acre. So each ther own. Some have more to do than me. I’ve got large equipment for the acres we farm. I like them coming out of the ground 3-4 days and not having a bad day. 3-4 weeks in the ground. Is not for me. So there’s the other side of the coin. | |
