Today I went around checking the corn, and it's getting close to being ready to chop. The cobs are around 50% dented, maybe more. Found 1 stalk with 4 cobs on it, and lots with 2 cobs. Most of our corn, while not spectacular, looks ok and should pile up somewhat decent.
One field is kinda short. We just picked it up this year and had to work it with an offset disc to cut up and work in the trash some. Dad figures all the nitrogen was tied up breaking down the organic matter.
We should be able to rent it again next year, and hopefully with some fall applied manure, fall plowing and a good wintering, next year should be better.
The people who owned it before only ever worked anything with a large disc. No plow. No cultivator. No manure. No nothing. Some of it was pretty hard... Hadn't been worked or planted the last few years so lots of weeds and grasses were on it when we worked it up.
Hoping to start in on it in 2 weeks. Also will possibly have 20 acres to sell. Last year's harvest was the first one to last all the way into the next years harvest, and this year with extra acreage, we may be able to come out a little bit ahead for once.... Things are starting to look a little better every day...

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
