Before And After View

Finally finished my darned prairie reclamation project.

Now, I'm hookin' up that darned grain drill, so's maybe I can see a return on my diesel fuel investment sometime next year? :>(

Allan

No, that wouldn't work; just too darned much competition from the regrowth. This ground will lay and be fallowed for over a year to clean it up before it's ever planted.

What I'm planting to wheat this fall is what I tore up back in March and have been working down all summer long. Got 'er as clean as a new baby's bottom out there and just waitin' fer the seed. :>)

Allan

Would that be FOB my front yard? Trouble with these bigger tractors is the darned freight on the silly things.

If I remember right, you are located up in the thumb?

Allan

Hence the name "Cowman". :>)

If I had my druthers, I'd have a pivot out there and be plantin' corn, beans and some of that 7-ton alfalfa like the big guys are always talkin' about.

'Course, the state boys clamped down on that idea real quick. :>(

Allan

What are you turning under...buffalo grass?

That was the last of the really nasty stuff.

There's still 10 acres of crested wheat grass out in the pasture that I could til, but so far we've been using it for the cows.

Slow but sure, it is starting to look like a farm. :>)

Allan

Hard Red Winter wheat. Enemies out here are drought and hail. Protien levels are usually pretty darned good.
