Ed Kennell 35,719 #3 Posted April 9, 2020 My Amish neighbor started planting sweet corn under plastic last week. The corporate farmers are still spreading lime and fertilizer. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too wet to get in ther. My guess if it doesn't dry up that field will go fallow again or winter wheat it drys up. Too early to tell.

953 nut 51,624 #5 Posted April 9, 2020 We are so blessed in the United States. The supply of goods to our stores has seen only minor disruptions and our farmers keep us all fed without any interruption. Now if everyone would buy what they need and not horde there wouldn't be a problem. How much TP does one family need anyway. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #11 Posted April 9, 2020 That's right. It's the hunt for buried treasure this year. Might be a money tree sprouting this spring. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
