We've been done chopping our corn for about 2 weeks now, and got some winter rye in the ground last week. Probably too late to try for some winter wheat, so we're planning to rent a large box spreader next weekend and haul out what we've got piled up. Then hook onto the plow and get it all turned under, hopefully before the end of the month. All in all, it went well and piled up better than we thought it would.
Had a field we were hoping to have for shelled corn, but the cobs were so small that we just chopped it and got it done. Filled a 9x200 bag, then a small chunk of 9x50 or so, and still needed more so we stretched a 8x75 bag over the bagger and put another 7 loads into the small upright.
Dad is still green chopping some of the 4th crop as it's a little shorter and we've got no room to put it.
The hay was pretty good. Baled all of 1st crop and more or less filled the barn. Put up around 3500 small squares, and around 50 large squares. Still had about 1000 small squares from last year in the mow. Chopped second and filled a 9x150' bag. 3rd crop we made into round bales with a borrowed 4x4 round baler because weather and time didn't cooperate. Had to do some work on the baler to make it work better, but both sides of the deal were happy in the end.
Pretty good year all things considered. Plenty of time to get fall tillage done now so for once, I shouldn't be plowing in the cold and snow with rock hard frozen ground to deal with.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
