    6 Brush Chipper

    Hahaha, why don't you come out here and get the fire going if you're so smart. Theres a few things you need to know, 1. Its way too wet to be shuttling brush all over the field and rutting everything up. Thus the chipper along the edge idea. 2. Loader tractor is busy right now and can't be used...

    6 Brush Chipper

    The brush won't burn!! No amount of burn permits or VFD's in the world will help. I don't need a burn permit anyway. I need to farm this ground this year, and I don't own the woods surrounding it so no place to stick it other than prime tillable farm ground or back in the fence row I just...

    6 Brush Chipper

    Like I said though, I can"t get it to burn and Spring tillage season is coming quick. If it would burn I"d already be done with it.

    6 Brush Chipper

    Any of you guys ever rent a 6" brush chipper? I cleaned fence lines along a 15 acre field, about 2000" total of brush. I cut up the bigger stuff for firewood but theres still some bigger 4-5" limbs and a BUNCH of small stuff. I"ve given up on getting it to burn and I don"t own the woods next to...

    What do I need to do to get crop insurance?

    I read where in Indiana last year each dollar spent averaged 3.7 in idemnity. Thats an awful small amount to me considering what yields were here. I might as well save my dollar for 3.7 years? A DISASTER year the payback is only 3.7 to 1?

    What do I need to do to get crop insurance?

    Do you have an adequate line of credit? If you are paying inputs out of pocket and you had a total failure, then the next year you could farm using your available credit. And in the meantime you pay next to nothing or zero interest on the available credit depending on your terms and how much you...

    Did You Ever Notice?

    Bruce- Put myself into farming part-time, and have some real nice neighbors that farm, mostly guys in their 50's that enjoy the thought of a young guy starting out small and using "smaller" 1980's style equipment. As I grew up in the 80's and 90's I really respected farmers and saw them as hard...

    Spraying herbicide.

    Go to your local fertilizer service/co-op and talk to them. The manager there will set down with you and help come up with a plan and give you estimated costs. If you don"t already have a fertilizer service that you go through for your hay, then you definately want to get in touch with one. They...

    Cattle Prices

    Heres a question for you guys with beef cattle. When you sell 1/4 or halves do you just price it based on live weight off the Live Cattle CBOT futures? I have a few ready and this is the first time I"ve sold cattle. What is an estimate of lbs meat compared to live weight?
