Work after evening chores

This is the view from my front lawn.  The cows have been milked and Dan is trying to get the field across the road ready for corn.

His brother, Denis, will be doing the planting tomorrow or the next day, depending on the weather. He often works past dark if the fields are ready.

It is called "The Test Plot" because many varieties of seed will be planted in separate rows to showcase how well they do.

Why plant different varieties? Because Dan's father owns a business that sells seed and fertilizer just to the right of this field.
