Husband has been in the field, but had a rough day today. His field monitor got some new updates, and he has been (re-)working out the kinks. Technology is wonderful (he can plant straight rows at night via GPS, has hands free steering, and has more information monitored/saved than you might believe) but it is a KILLER for a farmer to have to sit still in the field. (Even if it is to manage the tractor computer.) The season is still early...tomorrow is another day, with no rain predicted...
(For those of you who like big equipment and technology "stuff", here are a few pictures of the monitors, tractor and corn planter--in the field, and folded for road use.)
