Spring is here, been sunny and dry all weekOur 7 acres worth, JD 7420 pulled a 6 bottom through here, soil is fluffed up, small field, hard to get to the end without making tracks, he'll probably disc it with the JD 4440 w/duals, and real heavy set of discs 
Next field over, by our large pond, a real big operation going on here, had to smooth out a big rut from a silt fence installed by the power company, slightly worn out old ford that does not know any better than to keep running, and an old set of discs. Same tractor pulled a 2 bottom through this in 3rd gear.
This is 20 something acres worth, been idle for at least 7 years, goldenrod was so high 2 of us on atv's could not see each other, like a few years prior when we had lots of rain, that stuff grows like crazy. Corn must be doing ok, as he did not bother with this field before. I thought I'd never see this field planted again, was part of an 1100 unit condo development proposed, reduced in 1/2 now, but now they want 2 babe ruth baseball fields here, makes no sense at all. Been a favorite field since I was a kid, alfalfa used to do well in it, about a 500 yd range, we used to reach out 400 yds and nail chucks by that lonely island with a sumac in it, middle of photo. At the other end at the crest, there is another valley beyond, more rolling hills, large fields and hedgerows, you can see just about 360 deg. for 25-50 miles it's a really nice spot we border it but don't own it, was part of a big dairy operation at one time.
