Annual planting selfie. It's been a cold start to the season so far. Putting down @CrystalSugarCo seed this year! #plant26

@NWSGrandForks @NWSTampaBay Ha, thanks! I have a trip to FL coming up; glad to know I won't need my heavy winter jacket!

@Asteronaunt @CrystalSugarCo Not randoms, most of our drivers came back this year.

@AgronomyChad @CrystalSugarCo Was a little when we started, dried up throughout the day. Nice digging

Combining some dry soybeans today. The dust has been pretty sticky this year.

@FarmerCJohnson

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

Can you even tell what crop I'm combining? 🤣

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

@DarylRitchison @NDAWNmesonet Beautiful!

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

@NickHorob Signed up a few days late, but I made it in! Sounds like a better way to start my morning than reading news, ha.

Spoon feeding the corn 🌽

Not everything went as well as we hoped, but still plan on finishing tonight!

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

Last day of #plant25, if everything goes well.

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

@DoedenMicheal That grass will be very green for a while

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

Well, 💩.

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

Don't forget to eat your (pinto) beans! #plant25

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

Ominous clouds!

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

Gotta appreciate the other driver when he labels the stop lines in the gravel!

[Brandon Drees @BDreesFarms]

The impression the coil packer makes on the soil is memorizing. I could stare at it all way. Wait, I am! 😁
