    Lincoln Illinois Plow Day - October 28, 2023

    The weather for Saturday is looking very nice with temps in the mid-60's and light wind. Hope to see some folks there, though it's been mighty quiet here. Might be plowing by myself. See you Saturday!

    Lincoln Illinois Plow Day - October 28, 2023

    With the rather sketchy weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon/evening and Saturday afternoon and the MUCH nicer forecast for next Saturday (11/4), I'm rescheduling the PD to November 4.

    Lincoln Illinois Plow Day - October 28, 2023

    Haven't heard much interest in the other thread but the beans are out and I'm going to go ahead and have the PD anyway. It will be October 28, 2023, at 1509 Forest Hills Road, Lincoln, IL. Plowing to start at 9am-ish and go until we're too tired or run out of land. There will be bathroom...

    plow days

    Would there be any interest in a Lincoln Illinois plow day? Been thinking about doing it again. Not sure when the beans will be out, but probably looking at Oct. 28.

    All loaded and ready to head up about 7am tomorrow. Hope I'm not the only one there.

    Plow Day is on for this Saturday (11/13). Fields plowed OK, a bit wetter than optimal, but was not getting big balls of mud on the tires, not sticking on the plow and we have another day and a half of drying. Hope to see a bunch of you there. 9ish start-time. Will be a bit chillier than last...

    I got less than a quarter inch of rain this morning in Springfield, Lincoln, maybe a bit more. Sun is supposed to come out this afternoon and it is quite breezy so should be some good drying conditions. My plan is to go to the field late this afternoon and check plowing conditions. Will let...

    OK folks, a major hurdle is past, the beans are out!! I don't think the rainfall forecast for this week will be a problem. Next Saturday will be a bunch cooler, but that's OK. I'll update later in the week.

    Well folks, no go on the beans. Looks like it would have been a perfect day for plowing tomorrow otherwise. I still want to have one and while the weather doesn't look nearly as nice for next Saturday (Nov. 13) there's not much rain in the forecast. We'll see.

    I should know if something is happening with the beans today by around noon or so. Will post a final call early this afternoon.

    Dave, nothing happened this afternoon and I have heard no commitment for tomorrow. That's the best I can do right now.

    Unfortunately, they are not yet cut at our plowing fields. Our frosty nights are apparently impeding the dry-down. The ground is plenty dry for plowing. May still get started this afternoon or tomorrow. All is not yet lost.

    I asked the farmer and he said if the forecast holds, we have a pretty good chance the beans will get out later this week. He doesn't have his own combine so he's dependent on another farmer who still has about 700 acres of his own beans in the field. My two tractors still have the plows on...

    The beans never got out before the rain. We got about 2 inches of rain over the weekend and another half inch or so expected for Thursday into Friday. So very unlikely we'll be plowing this Saturday. The good news is we really have no deadline to have the plowday other than frozen ground. So...

    Lincoln, Illinois Plowday, October 23, 2021

    VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE - Unfortunately the weather forecasters were wrong and it's misting here in central Illinois. Combining isn't going to happen today so we are dead in the water. NO PLOWING TOMORROW. If the weather cooperates maybe they'll get the beans out tomorrow and we can use the...
