Funny how some think they know how to do things better than some of us who have been doing it in our family for over 100 years,, No my soil is NOT depleted,, No chem fallow does not work here,, you need a LOT more H20 a year than I get to use it,, and beside our soil will turn to concrete and dry out using chem fallow,, I would guess 98% of who posts here gets 5 to 50 times the H20 a year I do here,, I would love to see the naysayers try to raise a 80 bpa wheat crop with less than 3" of H20 in 9 months time,, funny thing is I do not try to tell you guys who spray everything and use chemical fert to grow crops,, as I know Zip about row crop farming as those who tell me how dumb I am for doing things the way I do here post about me,, I could care less what most here think of my operation,, I do not use sprays,, have far less weed pressure than those here who do that and have yields that are two to five times what many here get trying to continuous crop, they have no clue how to keep soil loose to take h20 when it comes in a hurry like it does a lot here,, you do not like how I do things no problem,, but do not to try to even think you have a damn clue what works here compared to a place that gets more rain in one day or week than I get in a year as it is a insult. I have held the BPA here in dry land crops for many decades and I see no one getting any closer to it either, I use no man made fertilizer,, I do get a small amount of cow poo to spread every ten years or so on a select few acres I use to build up bad spots,, to someone how H20 is never a issue they see no need to "Bank Up" H20 over a year,, but again they have no clue what its like to raise crops with almost no water,, if those who are so smart here want to show me up come and buy a place here and do it,, seen many a person from Iowa and IL move here over the past 50 years,, not a one lasted over three years,, one even told me to my face how stupid we were out here,, he made it almost through the third farming season before the bank sold him out.
here is a filed taht was in barley last year, I wanted it back to hay so a cover crop of barley was planted again in it this spring with alfalfa and grass seed,, I am not sure it will grow the alfalfa and grass due to less than 3" of h20 int he last 9 months total,, but will have to wait and see, this is the production you get double cropping here, the next pics will show my crops on summer fallow ground but have received the same h20, this was planted a week after the next crops in the following pics
so how many still think I am wasting my time and destroying the soil here?

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
