Strut10 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hopefully !! Plowed about 4 acres on Monday then got 1 1/4" of rain Tuesday night into Wednesday. So I got started with the disc tonight about 7:00 and quit around 9:30 with Lil's help. I think we're getting up with the chickens in the morning to finish up with the disc and get our turnip seed spun on. Forecast calls for rain tomorrow afternoon into Sunday so I think I will not even cover..........just let the seed "rain in". As an aside.......... this plot I'm doing is right beside my 3 acre clover strip. As I was running the disc tonight there was a smallish buck..... 6 or 8 pointer... and a pair of does munching away over there. They didn't get too concerned at all unless I made a turn near them which caused me to slow down. But several times I was close enough that if I had a decent clump of dirt I coulda beaned them.

redkneck Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 We didn't plant anything this summer. Didn't know if we were going to keep our lease or not after the landowner bumped us up $2/acre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Cool the forecast is working in your favor there Don, always nice to get a rain on a planting the day you finish it up. Never had much luck with deer eating turnips or the greens here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Done already?!?! Psh Ima recruit you to come plant down here Was on the field by shortly after 6:00 this morning. Spent close to 2 hours with the disc getting everything nicely broken and some good reference lines made for seeding. Then spent about an hour and a half walking and cranking, walking and cranking, walking and cranking................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be all "cranked" out..er up! Perfect timing Don! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 You must be all "cranked" out..er up! Perfect timing Don! Both. Yep. Cranked up to have everything come together in perfect timing. Cranked out after seeding 4 acres with a 20 lb. capacity Earth Way crank broadcaster. I had my 1000 gram Wolverine knee boots on. Not a bad idea for running the tractor. But for walking 3+ miles in tilled ground running the spreader................. not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 That will wear you down! You'll be happy you walked that out come season though... Get picks up when it sprouts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sweet thing about it is that the 3 acres of clover right along side of the turnip patch has just EXPLODED this summer. Anybody that doubts the investment in a tri-axle load of lime needs to see me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Anybody that doubts the investment in a tri-axle load of lime needs to see me. Local feed store I used to buy from always ran a sign in front of their store, usually this time of the year the sign would say something to the effect "if you don't lime your wasting your time". I need to check the ph and probably put down lime when I fertilize this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
