crop report june 22

 i can not remember a season this difficult for getting crops planted.  i think most crops will be 10 days later than normal; at least.
  as soon as i could see pumpkin planting would be delayed, i started 2000 pumpkins and squash in trays for transplant; hopefully this coming week.
  i think this year soil compaction and weeds will be a constant battle.  thankfully, there's the 1949 Farmall C for close cultivation and breaking up the soil.  that tractor is going to get a lot of use this year.
  storm damage last night to crops was surprisingly minimal.  a lot of corn got blown down, however, at this stage, it will all stand up again.
