Planting HIstory

Mar 21, 2012

Illinois farmer Steve Pitstick posted an interesting Tweet with this picture yesterday. It said:

"36 yrs ago my dad planted corn in a similar spring on 3/25. We got him in the planter today and planted the same field."

Spring Planting Pitstick Farms

Isn't it great that in 1976 we heard about this story in a newspaper and yesterday I read about it on Twitter but the principle doesn't change. From generation to generation, farmers take pride in their deep roots and dirty boots.

Follow Steve on Twitter at @PitstickFarms and visit their Facebook page.
