Less residue = soil warming more quickly = better germination.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1183cornplanter_lev1400.jpgIMG_1183CornPlanter_Lev1400The day after the ground was tilled, corn was planted in the same field. The planter is shown here in raised position. The wheels that are teeth-like are called row cleaners*. They move some residue (e.g., stubble from the previous year) and clods (that the field cultivator didn't already reduce in size) out of the way. The row units (each including a seed tube) are immediately behind the row cleaners.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1116fieldcultivator_1300.jpgIMG_1116FieldCultivator_1300Late at night the moisture made it so dirt started to pack on the field cultivator transport wheels (at center of this photo), making the wheels unevenly shaped. The residue in this photo is stubble from last year's soybean crop.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1108fieldcultivator_1200.jpgIMG_1108FieldCultivator_1200The tilling leveled the ground (including breaking up clods of dirt), killed weeds, and mixed crop residue (i.e., soybean stubble from the previous year) into the dirt. Also, herbicides and fertilizer (that had been applied within a day or so prior to tillage) were incorporated into the soil. https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1317tilewillgounderplanter_1200.jpgIMG_1317TileWillGoUnderPlanter_1200The planter needed to be raised in order to go over, and not damage, this tile surface intake.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1319planterovertileintake_1200.jpgIMG_1319*planterovertileintake_1200If you look carefully, you can see the yellow tile surface intake under the raised planter. Whenever there is an intake like this in the field, the tractor reduces speed and the planter is raised to go over the intake.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1219mirror_lev1200.jpgIMG_1219*mirror_Lev1200In the mirror: the planter. The farmstead: Gunderland.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1206gauges_1200.jpgIMG_1206*gauges_1200These gauges monitor the vacuum to indicate that it is working correctly. The vacuum secures seed to a plate inside the seed metering mechanism which is inside the row unit. In the plate are equidistantly spaced holes in which seeds ride. When the planting unit stops the vacuum at the precise point where a seed is on the plate, the seed at that location falls off the plate and slides down a tube into the soil. https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1199tiltedinsidecablev_1200.jpgIMG_1199*TiltedInsideCabLev_1200A view of Gunderland (just outside of Rolfe, Iowa, and where I was raised) from inside the tractor cab during corn planting.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_1168planter_lev1400.jpgIMG_1168*Planter_Lev1400Also, because of the tillage the night before, the row unit (which includes the seed tube and is immediately behind the teeth-like row cleaners) then has a smooth area allowing for consistent depth placement of seeds. (This consistent depth is critical for optimum root and seed development.) Because the row cleaners make a clean area for planting, they help leave the soil dark (i.e. without residue).2012-04-30T15:14:28+00:00monthlyhttps://mariongundersonart.com/2012/04/15/should-prints-be-made-of-doll-watercolor/https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_9186dollwatercolor_levcro800.jpgIMG_9186DollWatercolor_LevCro8002012-04-28T21:54:15+00:00monthlyhttps://mariongundersonart.com/2012/04/17/coal-in-iowa-part-i-the-bridge/https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/dsc_0071richardthielentrestlebridge_lev.jpgDSC_0071RichardThielenTrestleBridge_Levhttps://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_9317trestlebridgephotobymarypepper.jpgIMG_9317TrestleBridgePhotoByMaryPepper2013-08-05T18:05:34+00:00monthlyhttps://mariongundersonart.com/2012/04/21/coal-in-iowa-part-ii-coal-mining/https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img_0766angussignfield_levred1200.jpgIMG_0766AngusSignField_LevRed1200Click on any of these three images to go to slideshow view.

Damp, for sure. No longer is there that squishy pad that we were supposed to step on (to prevent athletes foot?) every time we exited the shower. Apparently, until not long before our celebration, this locker room had been pretty dank and would have been unpleasant for us to spend any time there. However, due to vandalism at the school prior to our celebration, some youth had to work community service hours. Some or all of those hours were spent cleaning up this locker room. Laurie was in charge of our locker room get-together. Notice how she even had votive candles to help cover any smell (which there ended up not being much of or none at all...it was quite comfortable). Clockwise from lower left: Pam Van Houten Sukalski (head coach Al Van Houten's daughter), Carol Wiegert Franken, Karen Brinkman Vinson, Linda Pedersen Tutt, Julie Brinkman Mintz, Laurie Brinkman Jensen and assistant coach Dennis Duerling. I know...it doesn't look like we are praying, but we really did ask God to bless the day.https://mariongundersonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/facultyapril162011_300lev_1000.jpgFacultyApril16,2011_300Lev_1000Seven of the eighteen 1970-71 Rolfe High School faculty members attended the April 16th celebration.
