Id be a bit cautious about over investing. I've been noticing around my area here in central Virginia that every body with an extra acre has a 'vineyard'. I mean theyre everywhere...the ultimate yuppie indulgence...at least here. While I love wine, and I know that now there is a shortage of some grape, I think its being over done and shortly there will be a glut and prices will plummet.
Just my $.02.
Not too far north of me is a peninsula that used be all cherry trees. Nowadays, it's vineyards. In fact, one of the brothers from the Oak Island show has one there.
Grain farmer from northern Illinois. Corn is going in the ground here I will be starting on Monday.
Walker county GA here..... planted corn a month ago....... 3-5" tall. About 14 rows of 125ish or so.
Northwest Illinois planted the last 5 days and now we have 2 inches of snow on the corn and it is still snowing.
Well congrats to the folks who have their corn in, we are maybe 30-40% planted in eastern SD with most acres going into prevent plant. Just started raining here again today.
You guys are supposed to grow wheat and flowers anyway. Stop glutting the corn market!
You’re thinking west river SD.
I’m about 80 miles north of Baltic
Eh. Dakota means wheat and flowers might as well be Canada south lol. But yes at least you have insurance Gonna hurt the people who went without
In the ground and walking around with a smile and half-hard.
I’d say eastern SD is in the same boat. We still have a fair amount of corn left in the fields. It dried down from 24% in December to 16.5% now. So far we are shaping up nicely.
I am in central NC. Just ripped the garden yesterday. A lot of folks around here planting early because they are outta work and it was warm for a week. They'll all be planting again when I plant normal time in a few weeks. Only thing I will plant before then is taters and early beans. Around here a couple weeks after tobacco goes in the ground or a couple weeks after the strawberries are ready to pick is a good time for the vegetable garden. I go even a little later with my sweet corn......it takes cool much worse than field corn.
Almanac gave April 1 for corn here. Planted Saturday, 3/28. It was 85*F. Got 8 50-foot rows of a regular sweet corn and a small patch of blue sweet corn, "Midnight Snack" variety.
Tomatoes are out, and I have backups in pots in case those get bitten. Peas and beans are up.

Having an issue bringing pictures from one tower to another, but the short version is, the ground is still frozen here, and we've still got snowdrifts that are a few feet deep here (in places).
And ya'll are talking about sprouts coming up already????? Ya'll have no idea how Blessed you IS!!!!

I'm curious to see how planting season unfolds around here. With no real snowfall this winter, farmers were out last month turning the ground and laying down manure, but temps are actually running a bit below normal.
Last year, the flooding is what screwed up my neighbors. They held off planting as long as possible and then watched the field turn into a lake for a few weeks.

When does crop ins kick in on replant in Georgia? In Illinois, planted before apr 1 and youre on your own if march planted gets smoked.
I haven't been to my in-law's for a while, but the corn here should be planted, or is being planted. It's always planted by Easter here. That's when I do my arrowhead hunting. I hunt the planted fields that have been rained on. Kids have an Easter egg hunt, and I have an Easterarrowhead hunt.
What’s your favorite caliber to shoot? Favorite firearm?
5 posts and zero about shooting
That's racist.
But really, plant browntop and sunflowers and we'll come help you drink your beer and shoot your doves!
You’re not from around here are you...
You’re welcome(?)
This thread has totally confused me and dissapointed. I will do my part to get it on track March Corn closed up a penny at $4.28.
Yeah, I agree that corn was great this year, of course not without problems, but finally, the harvest was good. BTW, I found something really great and it was surprising. My mother has tried to plant some Roses and the main thing was that the soil was pretty poor for micro-nutrients and we need something to fertilize it. I've tried https://www.growgardener.com/the-5-best-fertilizers-for-beautiful-knockout-roses/ ,and it was surprisingly effective. So for those who would like to try Rose planting, I strongly recommend this stuff.

Since this was dug up.
On the left side of this patch is golden bantam. It's an heirloom seed. There's already silks on the shorter stalks. On the right side is a hybrid silver queen. It's much taller, over five ft, but not as many silks yet.

Trying to see if the sunflower will out grow the hybrid
Potato and beans in the front edge.
The heirloom seeds are 78 day and the hybrid are 90 day. That's also a test to see if cross pollination happens.
