In Reply to: Why plow at all? posted by KYfarm on October 05, 2010 at 04:42:39:
I feel kinda like my post started this.. So I kinda feel like I need to add my 2 cents...
Why plow? Why not? That's what I think.. Everyone has their take on things..
My take is, plowing has really died off (at least here) since my childhood. I think the last time anyone really plowed around here was 85/86.. and I was 4 or 5 then..

Just so I can plow, plant in wide rows, cultivate with my Massey and mounted cultivators, and pick corn with my self propelled picker. Why have the big boy sandbox toys if ya aren't gonna play with em??? (of course I'll have to rotate crops.. just a reason to play with more old equipment of course!!)

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
