Need Some Advice

Posted by TomNTex on November 25, 2006 at 04:33:07 from (168.187.253.51):

I now own about 50 acres of fertile bottom ground I want to start farming it. This is all pretty new to me but I've got it in my blood and love doing it. I've got a JD 3020 and a few pieces of equipment to work with (tandem disc, chisel plow, drill, shreader etc.) I actually disc plowed and planted about 10 of those acres with a milo/red top cane mix for the wildlife during the spring and now have a really nice hay crop but it also has lots of weeds. Then in September I shreaded and plowed another 2-3 acres around the edge and planted wheat for the deer. The wheat also looks great. Now I see the potential and need some advice. First off the rest of the ground is grown up in 2-3' tall weeds. I can see the weeds will be my biggest challenge. How would you suggest I proceed in order to put the rest of it in hay next spring? Burning may be an option but otherwise what would you suggest. I figure I will need to put together some type of spray rig too during the winter. If I buy/build a 3 pt rig, how big of a tank can I use on the backside of the 3020 and how wide of a boom to use. I realize my questions are general and not real specific but any advice will be appreciated. I just like about another week having my 80 acres fenced and will move my dad's few cows over for the winter to clean up the hay and graze the 30 acres of pasture.
Thanks
Tom

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
