Done With That Chore

Got this patch wrapped up; plowed, packed and planted.

Better get the mower out 'cause if it doesn't hail, there might even be a field or two of hay that'll need done this year. :>)

Allan

This is the falt one. :>)

Allan

Have 46 acres of alfalfa that the prior owners just had to combine the seed off of last fall.

This years crop is just now starting to clear the stubble good. :>)

Allan

I'm so used to the soil down on the irrigated farms that I'm really disappointed in this place, to be perfectly honest about it. Maybe I should call up the tenant and see if he wants to swap farms. :>)

Its got some heavy clay spots in it that I just plain don't like.

Oh well, I said going in that it would take me 5 years to turn this old farm around. Looks like it is going to take all of that. :>(

Allan

I'm pacin' the darned floor waitin' fer it to show up.

I had plenty of moisture where I laid in the oats, but of course, need that top wetted to get the alfalfa going.

Looks like I'm going to have to plow up that patch I put in last fall. Just not a good stand at all. Will wait and see how it does this summer, but it doesn't look too good. :>(

I'll never pull that stunt again (I knew better, too). :>)

Allan

16" on a wet year. :>)

Allan

Should have done that to start with, but thought I could pull off a fall seeding.

Just not too impressed with that function. I'll never do it again. Too darned much winter kill on that baby stuff, I guess.
