Once I get back up to the shop I'll post another picture. That will blow your mind.
How many sunflowers will grow out of that?
About 90% of these seeds will grow. Corn is about 96-97%
If you want a count of how many plants that amounts to I have no idea.
My boss might have a rough guess, but an acre is the size of a football field so needless to say it's hard to count how many flowers are on 5000 football fields.
My boss says about 18500 plants per acre.
@Jacob
We plant about 1.2 million wheat seeds per acre.
We do about 5000 acres of wheat too.
I figured that I'd repost the bins for scale.
Also all of the smaller bins on the left are seed bins.
Except for one. One is a pidgeon bin because it was left open one year when it was almost empty and no one wants to clean it out.
Haven't made it back to the shop yet. Still prepping for tomorrow.
(My boss is aware that his license plate is visible) If antifa wants to call him he'll just ask if you're Jewish.
Waist high by the 4th of July!
@Jacob These totes are all full of seed.
And these are all of the ones we've used so far.
Also apparently someone loaded the seed truck. Which was nice of them.
I see my dog made it into the picture again. She loves being useful. I left her at the shop all day today. Maybe she learned how to drive a forklift.😂
Chevy to the rescue again.
It's a close fit.
Found another girl out in the wheat fields.
I've changed my profile picture so I don't get confused with @BryceB-ND
You can't really read it in the thumbnail but I picked this truck for a reason.
Haha
@Der Seeteufel - SD How many Mexicans does it take to unstuck a skid steer?
The true answer is, without White Europeans, machinery does not exist.

Hehe
Fret not for the mouse, he enters the home without invitation because he cannot build his own.
Done planting. Time to get ready for harvest.
Whats the temp out there?
Today it's 66°
What?!? Lucky!
Yeah, lucky. It's like 95 here, high humidity. It feels like FL without a breeze haha
Tobacco is growing really well this year, so for the farmers that's a plus😁
