So why does everybody get wound up about planting conditions again? There's been more 16 and 24 row planters sold since 2008, and I'd bet on whole, planting capacity has increased 15%+ since 2008. Just have to look at tractorhouse to see the increase in the big planters.
And out here everybody's got the pivots running to pre-water, b/c it's looking like a long dry haul.
Ground conditions a year ago today.
