Farming - Planting

On a beautiful Spring day, April 30 to be exact, Dave & I drove to Blue Earth to help Jim plant beans. (Loni & Dale's wedding was the next day, so we went early Friday to "farm".) Dan also drove down that day and helped.

Bean seed ready to be loaded into the planter.

The 12 row planter behind the tractor.

Jim stopping at the end for lunch.

Bean seed in the seed hopper of the planter.

Jim's out buildings, basically, just a machine shed.

Dan & me relaxing while Jim runs the hoppers out which takes about an hour.

Here he comes - back to work.

Wrestling sacks of bean seed.

What Jim wants for next year - to reduce the "wrestling".

And he'll need a "bulk" planter - oh, well.
