Planting Corn, Soybeans, and Rain

So I know that it has been a really long time since the last blog post- completely my fault!  We have been busy on the farm since it is prime planting time, planting corn and soybeans, working ground, and still taking care of pigs and cows.  We have babies being born right now, even though they were all supposed to be through last week!  We try not to induce labor unless they are REALLY overdue, because most of the time we just let nature do its thing.
Matt came home last week, so he is back to helping out on the farm.  Right now, we are dealing with major amounts of rain and thunderstorms.  Good for the corn and soybeans, but not so good at getting other things done on the farm.  Luckily we have just about all of our corn in the ground, and all the soybeans planted.  We have to wait until it dries up some to finish planting corn on the river bottoms. 
Matt and Dad are out working on a cow who had some problems after she had a baby last week, hopefully they are staying dry in this weather!
