Planting 2012

The earliest we have ever planted corn (March 26).

Adding a few more acres

Found some more ground to rent (or it found me), currently in CRP so it has to be cleared before planting. I spent several hours cutting thorn trees out of it, after being mowed it looks like a golf course. Plan is to burn it down with some strong chemicals and no-till beans into it.   As it looked Step 1 Mow It Step 2 Remove Trees Ready to Spray

Spring pre planting party, saying goodbye to old tractor, new fuel tanks, etc.

Big Tractor Upgrade

4630 tires were getting a little worn, new ones REALLY expensive, so found a nice clean 4640 at auction.

Building Nitrogen Sidedress Applicator-this is going to be a fun project. Combining old applicator with old sprayer to make a self contained 28% applicator I can use to sidedress nitrogen on corn and run down as little a possible. This will either be really cool or a collossal failure. If I can stay on schedule field trials in spring of 2012.
Combining this With This To make something like this (but a whole lot cheaper)
