Iowa

Posted on 03:36 by Unknown
We are back to our favorite state of Iowa.  Why don't we live in our favorite state?  It's because we rooted too deeply in Ohio.  With six children and twelve grand children in Ohio, Ohio is our home.

As soon as I pulled into the field day site last night, there were only four hybrids signed.  Those were four I brought last spring!  They look awesome, green from top to bottom but the whole plot does.  The ears are still all upright but are all dented, too.  I wonder what in the world the are going to say about them?

I will plant all four and two more next spring unless I find something better.  They mid to full season hybrids that always perform well on my farm and in my region.  I don't have near the soil or soil fertility as this old Mississippi river ground does but I am getting closer.  Funny to have that kind of soil on top of a hill!

I hope the talks are all written down because I know I can't write fast enough today.

I wish you could be here too and I hope some of you are.
