Good Day Today

Started workin' down this patch that I'm gonna sow to oats at about 7 o'clock this morning. With any luck, I should have all the darned plowing done by noon tomorrow and maybe planted by the end of the week, I hope.

Sure makes a difference when ya can get that next gear. Cruisin' along right at 6mph.

You sure you have the right guy here? :>)

Allan

Lookin' good there Scott!

Heck, your crop is gonna be up and headed out before I even get the darned seed in the drill. You'll probably have your first cutting of hay before I can even get the silly combine in the field. :>)

This is the first year we've farmed this place and it is a "problem" to say the least. Another 1/2 day tho, and I should at least having it "looking" like a farm anyways.

I'm plowin' it just as deep as the old tractor will pull the thing and this of course translates into my having to ride the packer for probably two days after if drys a day.

I "might" be able to plant on Thursday or Friday. :>(

Saw a 1256 on eBay the other day. Maybe you need a new project...

This field looks to be busting up better.

I'm surprise at how black your soil looks out there.

If you had the rain fall it looks like it would produce 200+ bushel corn.

Nice long rows also.

What yeild do you expect on the oats?

Yes, it's darned nice ground and that's why everyone and his uncle was puttin' up a pivot on every quarter. Until the state stepped in and put and end to that little practice. :>(

Oats, if they don't get hailed will only make 30 bushel, I would guess. I'm just using the oats as a nurse crop for the alfalfa.

Planted the other half of the field to straight alfalfa last fall and really didn't like that approach.
