They have been staying busy on J&R Farms. They have got all the cattle worked and out to grass. Here is last load leaving.
Don sprayed pre-emerge in front of Mike in the planter. He didn't have to work to hard to stay ahead of the 6 row.
They have all the corn planted. Here they are fueling up when they were planting.
Planting corn in wheat stubble.
They put in 350 acres of corn this year. They are going to cut back on milo a little bit and try more corn and soys.
During the wet week they took the loader off of the MX.
They put it on the IH baler and put the 1270 on the swather to get ready for alfalfa.
They have started on soys now. So far they are really happy with the CCS and 8630. They are really like not having to fool with the double drill hitch. Here they are loading up the drill with seed and fertilizer.
Fueling up.
Drilling away.
They had some feed ground that got rutted up pretty bad due to the wet fall. So they decided they were going to have to disk it. They put the disk on the 7520.
The tractors may actually get to work some ground this year. They are possibly going to get a chance to rent some more ground, but the landlord doesn't believe in no-till so if they take it over they will have to conventional till it. It is about 400 acres so it would be a nice addition. They still have there equipment so they are thinking pretty serious about it. That is all for now questions and comments welcome.
