We are about one-third done with planting. So far, Morris has been wetter this year, but we do have some beans planted there.

One thing I changed about a half dozen years ago was I started planting beans first. When I was planting everything with one planter, I did beans first and then switched to corn.

Now that we have two planters running, we start both corn and beans at the same time.
