I need advice. Northern Ky. area about 30 miles
east of Cincinnati. Yesterday morning I had
some dozer work done in one of my fields. I had
a high ridge pushed into a low spot to level
the field and make haying easier. SWIMBO
allowed this. At 4 PM I was disking, at 5 PM I
was sowing seed. Ky 31 tall fescue and rye
grass for quick color. At 6 PM it was raining
fairly hard and kept it up for about 1 and 1/2
hours. Rain came up out of nowhere. I had planned on running the cultipacker
over the field as soon as I finished seeding.
Right now it is slip and slide time in the
field. It will probably take about 2 days to
dry out. I bought several bales of straw to put
down but I will have to wait a while. I also
bought fertilizer and granulated lime. That
will have to wait also. I think the cultipacker
is out, correct? I think it would just pack the
mud. When should I fertilize and spread the
lime? Should I also spread the straw as soon as
I can get in the field? To keep this tractor
related, I did the work with a Super MTA and a
John Deere disk. Thanks, Ellis
