Too derned hot and dry for anything else to grow, but it sure doesn't slow down the silly weeds! :>(

I don't have one yet; I'll probably just follow the packer this year. But 'spose I'll have to round one up someday.

Allan

There are no "people" here either. I can go for weeks on end without ever seeing another human. :>)

Allan

I had already worked it down 'bout two weeks ago with the vibrashank.

Just made a round across the headland this morning where the field cultivator missed some low spots. :>)

So, this ground will be planted to hard red winter wheat in September and harvested next summer. In the meantime, we keep the weeds down by summer-fallowing when necessary.

Allan

I think you are going about your dryland farming business the right way. The weeds need to be kept down and you are going about it the right way. You are only drying the top few inches of soil and you have to work it to keep it from blowing. Worked for a fellow one sumer and if I wasnt cutting hay or cultivating corn I was working summer fallow ground. First with a one way,next time over was with a straight disk and then a harrow. And that was the fun part.
