Opinion Poll: Methods of Farming w Farmall offsets

Now it is used for raking, running my 8"-56' auger complete with screener and mechanical swing-away hopper (on anything less than 22% moisture corn) and for odd jobs like fixing fence.

We never had an offset because we we used mules and horses up until we got a Farmall C and an H in 1950. We used the C for cultivating from then on, also for drilling wheat and corn planting.

The Amish do a lot of fall plowing and I've heard that for every pound that's reaped from their farm they put back that much manure.

After plowing in the spring we always used a disc harrow. When we ready to plant corn we usually used a spring tooth harrow with a drag or a roller behind the harrow.

Today most farmers use no-till and some are using chisel plows. I always plow my garden in the fall to cover up the residue and then plant a cover crop of barley or buckwheat if I can find it. I may replow in the spring if the barley is very tall and somtimes I just till it with one of those red machines known as a Troy-Bilt tiller. I've had about 30 of them.
