River bottoms all got planted here already, barely. Wet and cool spring. The outfits that do the big bottoms get in there with Challengers,etc. and get their stuff done while the smaller guys on hill ground are waiting for dry weather.

Still some hill ground beans to be planted and now some creek bottom fields will have to be replanted.

And the Missouri ain’t out down here yet.

Sugar beets and corn in the bottoms here, mostly--not in. Upland farming is mostly wheat, durum, sunflowers, 'canola', and a few other crops besides hay.

If the bottoms had been planted early, they'd have drowned, but we've had so much snow this year in the area (all time record for the winter), not much is in up hill either.
