Started after dew evaporated, around mid-day. Assisted by Braxton and Brock. Soil conditions had improved enough to plant south headland. Rye was knocked over by drill, not pollinating yet. Doug was roller crimping at an angle to flattened rye further. Used 140 units of 2914GT Wensink seed, ~30# of FBN 2.9 leftover from Bocks, and 12 units of leftover Pioneer (P36) and Wensink (3.1) from 2019 (extra seed was planted in east side & pointed rows). Population calculated to be 213,500k/A. Starting acre count 841.8 (778.67 A adjusted), and finished at 947.9 (876.8 A adj) = 98.1 A (adj). Jess acre counter 40.5 A on 5/25 and 63.2 A on 5/26 for a total of 103.7.
