Time To Plant Corn

Our final company left at 6:20 this morning and we are now back to the routine.  We took a couple of milk cultures into the vet clinic today.  They could have been done a week ago but with so much going on we just waited.  Bruce and Ed put the grain drill away in the shed until next year and brought the corn planter home. Bruce rebuilt the finger units on the corn planter boxes today.  I am glad that the parts we invested in are now in the planter.  The update wasn't vital so if we had run out of time we could have planted anyway.  It is just nice to have it done.  Ed had fixing of his own to do so corn planting will start tomorrow.  We own a 6 row corn planter together so we take turns using it or we pay Ed to plant ours.  Who plants is dependent on who has time.  Ed gets a lot of our planting done while we are milking and feeding.  At this point Ed had fields already dug and ready so he will plant while Bruce digs.  Tonight was another late night for Bruce since he worked on the planter and took advantage of as much daylight as he could.  Doing this moved some of his feeding to after milking.  Eventually we will get life in order but right now it's a bit hectic.
