Early Planting by hjbenson

Early Planting

Very busy day and evening here today. On my way to the bank, I noticed some fields were already planting a first corp. They were then covering the new plants with a plastic sheet which will protect them from a light frost. In a normal year they would be doing this 3 weeks from now, but it has been a very mild winter
Love the panoramic view, Harry!

Beautiful field and I'm amazed that the plants are up already. My husband has planted some things which are just beginning to come up but we are further South than you. Nice capture.

Seems like a gamble to me, but I hope it pays off for them.......where's my Farmer's Almanac?

@new2this Thank you Ann, if they can get a crop in this early they will be able to get another one later, double use of the land.
