First attempt at growing crops

Posted by Nathan in Texas on June 02, 2006 at 20:00:59 from (64.207.75.244):

Well, we got some rain so I got out on my tractor and new to me 7 1/2' disc and made 2 passes over some ground that had been planted in wheat 4 years ago and has just been fallow since.

I then got out my new to me 2 row planter and loaded 1 hopper up with sunflowers and the other hopper up with sorghum and planted it!

Here is a picture of me running the disc:

I'm sure that is probably the worst seedbed anyone has ever taken a picture of but I'm planting it for the birds this fall so when dove season starts hopefully some of it will have made it and they will think they are in bird heaven!

Thought I would share, this is my first attempt at growing anything larger than a small garden and I'm curious how it will turn out. If anyone sees anything obvious that I'm doing wrong let me know. I figured the grass that was left might cut down on yield but hopefully wouldn't completely choke everything I planted out.

Thanks for looking.
