New Grass

The Cheyenne Bermuda grass we planted a couple of months ago has really grown.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9EeIKqBZWI">Nancy has watered</a> and fertilized this small area every weekend; except for the weekends it has rained.

Nice dark green color and very thick.

Should be ready to cut on Labor Day weekend.

Looks good and thick, you might have to creep along with that mower of yours.

Congrats on the good stand.

All the credit goes to Nancy; she did all the work.

This hay is for her horses so she is very interested in the quantity and quality.

grass is lookin good james. soil looks kinda on the sandy side there. be good for scouring up a moldboard plow. in the last picture, is that some kind of texas critter sneekin out in the grass on the rt side of the picture?

It's what we call "sandy loam" here in NE Texas.

Had about 27 loads of sandy loam brought in to fill a large wash in one of the terraces.

I've known the older fellow, Mr. James Higginbothom, for over 40 years.

He brought us very clean dirt with not many roots or rocks.

The "critter" you see in the last photo is a pile of roots; roots that we pulled out of each load of dirt.

While catching up on my reading on the forum, I noticed the photos of your stand of corn.

Man that's some tall corn to be proud of.

Good thing you had that 2x4; no telling what you might find in corn that tall.

How many acres do you plant in corn/beans?

james, i have about 370 acres under tillage, split about 50/50 corn and soybeans.

It does look kinda like a critter, doesn"t it?
