If you want to turn 60 acres into 300 all you have to do is start by not getting any fall tillage done because of mud. That way you can start with that in the spring. Started the year by discing corn stalks then chiseling them. The ground was so hard this year after years of wet weather and poor tillage that I couldn't pull the chisel more than 4 deep the first time over. 7 shanks would stop the tractor dead. So that meant twice over with the chisel plow to get the ground broke up a bit.
Then a trip with the heavy disc, adding several extra passes in all the places with ruts left from years past. Some from more than 3 years back from previous renters.
Then add a trip with the finish disc or cultivator depending on what's needed. Of course adding a trip or two where there are ruts.
Forgot about some plowing sod too.
Then the planting of course. Some oats first, that is up nice now.
Then corn.
The first corn planted has sprouted but I'd not up yet. Finished planting yesterday. The ground is real dry now but some of the ruts left years ago by the big combine still had water in them and were a mess to deal with. Tried to force rain by washing my truck. Lol.
Then Sunday afternoon I finally got my case manure spreader. A neighbor had it and said he would trade it to me for an operational one of most any brand. So I got this Minnesota that needed new wood and fixed it up for him.
He was happy with it so he brought my case over Sunday afternoon.
Randell thought we should try it so we cleaned the hog pen and spread a load.
Works real good too.
This week I will have to spray the corn ground and spread some fertilizer on the oats but that's about it for now. Hay should be starting in a few weeks. Hope we get some rain so I get some.
