Finally some planting done

[jon f mn]

Been able to get in the fields finally. Started with some chiseling corn ground i didnt get done last fall.

Used my new disc for the first time. With that harrow behind the 1030 has a full load.

Planted corn in that land. Used the 830 this year to plant.

Also worked some clay ground at home and planted some barley.

530 works great for that. Hauled some manure last week.

Going to work on cleaning the cattle lots today, was too wet before. Hope its dry enough otherwise I'll work on more barley planting.

How are conditions up there, Jon? It's been dry here the past week or 2. Starting to look like the dust bowl around here. How much grunting did the 1030 do?

Officially we are on the dry side, but we did get 2" of rain last week. Now its been cold so that is not drying so its a bit tough. The corn ground was spring plowing and with that harrow behind the 1030 had all it wanted to pull that rig in 4th gear the first time over. Second pass it pulled it fine. At home in the clay and fall plowing it could pull it in 5th gear on the second pass.

It's been pretty dry here as well in the SE. Had a dust settler yesterday. Things are going along well for farmers planting here. Hoping for a successful, bountiful harvest for everyone.

Real dry here in Eastern Oregon also. Also starting to get warm. No rain in sight. Got the pastures ready. Without rain won't last too long. Hopefully rain will move in.
