Just too darned dry.

Wet dirt (mud) on the top, but underneith it was bone dry. Darned plow only wanted to go in the ground about 8 inches too. Bummer!

Guess I'll go stack hay or somethin'. Looks like no wheat will get planted in this patch this year. :>(

Allan, in my part of the country if our ground plowed like that we would be happy. The kind of gumbo we have will follow you to the house at dinner time. If it gets that dry the plow won,t go in the ground anyway. And usually make the plow alot longer. Anywho you tried. There,s rain on the way.

Since you mentioned buffalo... look at agebb.missouri.edu/sfc/2005/bios.htm and the Ray and Amy Hamilton bio. I am seeing buffalo all over the US. Could be a market for native prairie forage. Probably have to figger out how to keep the native roses and briars out of the bales though.

16 bales off 45 acres...sounds like a waste of fuel. Could you hit it with round up and no till a round up ready crop in??

Oh Yeah,

It'll make a preacher cuss. Worst gumbo I've ever seen.

Probably, I really ought to put it back into buffalo grass and let the great white hunters from back east come and shoot prairie dogs off it. :>)

Oh,

And that isn't sand you're looking at. It is so dry the soil is a totally different color down deep.

No moisture whatsoever. :>(

This is the 45 acres that I got 16 bales off of. It is totally bound up and has just got to be turned.

Was really hoping to upset it and get it back into production, but if it won't plow, it won't plow. So, gues it will have to lay there until it does.

Got lucky last fall and was able to turn another 20 acre patch of the same type stuff in September after we got a 6" rain. Today, it's the nicest, mellowest soil now ya ever saw. :>)

I dunno,

I really perfer to get it a heck of a lot deeper than this.

Like to be able to stand a 10" Cresent Wrench in the furrow to insure a good kill, good shatter, and for it to lay over nice and smooth as it should.
