Planting Season - Soybeans

It is that time of year again, when farmers are up at dawn and home again at midnight. When wives (or fiances in my case) pack lunches and give rides. The time of year when it ends up being a hurry up and wait game. Planting! Right now Dave is planting soybeans. I had the opportunity to take some pics yesterday while riding with him. He got a new seed tender this winter in the hopes of an easier time filling his planter. So far so good!! Here he is filling the planter.
You can see the bin filled with the innoculated soybean seed! This is a picture of the service truck and the planter filled with seed.
All done filling!! He is closing the covers. This is the side of Davids' John Deere 8320. Gotta love a John Deere!

John and David are getting close to being done!! Dave planted the corn and is now working on the soybeans and has navy beans, sunflowers left. John has planted the wheat, canola, and flax. It helped that Harold --Brendas' dad was here to help for a few weeks this spring, picking rocks. They also have the help of Sarahs husband Trent, who helped spray some pre emerge round up. Another invaluable help is their "hired hand" Chris. He has worked hard to prep the land ahead of John and Dave, doing the cultivating, harrowing, rolling, etc. They have a lot of acres to cover so every little bit helps!!
