Well, buddy, farming in groundhog country can be hard on the butt and the rest of your equipment, I hope you"re careful on those slopes. At least is doesn"t sound like those marijuana farmers have come back, I sure got a good laugh out of your post a few days ago, about settling that problem. I hope their wet drawers taught them something, though odds aren"t in that favor, they probably just moved on. Best Wishes,

20 Acres down at one time is plenty especially when you are operating on your own. Bigger is not always better. I'm proud of the 25 acres of hay that I cut yesterday, considering the record drought we had last year and the $90/round bale that folks were paying last year. May your day be break-down free.

I don't think that we do to bad for what we run for equipment . The newest pice is the KUHN rake that we got two years ago , the baler is a Krone 125 4x4 for the rounds and a older 336 Deere that we don't use that much . newest tractor is a 74 1066 that was one of the junkers that i drug home from the dead row and brought back to life with new T/A ,clutch, transmission rebuild new hyd. pumps rebuilt PTo new tires , seat and paint job everything out there is my handy work that camefrom either INd. or sales out in Il.

If 20 acres is a lot then I suspect your still baling small squares. With the equipment we run today 20 acres is one field not a whole days work. I grew up handling 15,000 - 20,000 small squares every year however I only want memories of doing that not future expectations.

It's not that amount of acreage just the lay of the land and size of equipment and roads in our area . , this field is a real pain as it is ground that nobody will farm for crops and nobody shoot ground hogs there as the land owner will not let anybody hunt it . We make small rounds and still do vary few small idiot cubes . The roads getting to this pice of ground a narrow with a bunch of blind hills and curves . The field is in place real steep and for you flatlander it would put seirous puckerfactor in your BVD's , so there is no HIGH SPEED FARMEN here . Going to be heading out here in vary short order and it will take everybit of 5-6 hours to rake it with out destroyen anything I HOPE. It took my buddy 7 hours to mow as he said there are some new CONDO that went up since lastyear meaning huge groundhog holes , this is the only place where i have ever seen three to four groundhog that have there holes wright next to each other .

Idiot cubes, I like that one! We made 400 of those idiot cubes yesterday off 10 acres of red clover. I hate red clover! Still coughing and sneezing green yet today. We do it all the old fashioned way. No accumulators, no stackers. We rotate some red clover behind the wheat, 10-20 acres per year. We're about the only ones who bale it anymore around here. We wouldn't anymore either, except its good for the soil. The best field of corn every year is the one that follows the red clover.
