Steve: Most of our fields here locally are 20 +/- acres.. Mom and dad have a 40, after we take the 2 house lots out (theirs and mine) there's about 36, and the county drain splits it in half, so we end up with close to 20's. The field the pics are from is about 58 acres.. so makes it a bit larger as it's not broke up by ditches and that. Ground here is FLAT.. with the exception of a stray sand hill here and there.. A bit north/west of here it's a lot more "rolling".. But they say years back we were under Lake Erie here. Maps from the 1800's have our area marked as the "Black Swamp".
Belgian: Ours is "winter wheat".. I've asked a few times why no one here plants "spring wheat" as it seems to be a acceptable practice a lot of other places.. Never really did get an answer. We're about a week behind "normal" this year, last year the combine was washed, waxed, and put to bed on the 6th of July. We'd even drill soybeans behind some of the wheat, but as dry as things are, that's nit happening.
Jordan: The wheat is probably the only respectable crop we'll get this year, unless we get RAIN.. and SOON!! We haven't hardly had an inch here since the first of June, and we've had quite a few days above 90 already this year (not too common for us) and come Sunday, it looks like we're in for 90's for another week, and no rain to speak of.
Hopefully today we'll get wheat wrapped up.. was on the track yesterday until we had a small fire.. Lost a bearing and got some dust smoldering. Lost 3 hours there, got back going, got one truck loaded, and broke the drive belt on the grain table at 6 last night.. We have about 30 acres still to go.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
