    Finally finished Spraying! HA HA HA!

    Finally today will finish spraying Disease control on Oats and Barley. Damage to machine from all water. One drive shaft and steering pump. (when yoke breaks it takes out pump, ah Deere) Also side wheels on boom took a shit kicking should have changed to ones with shock. Will rebuild this summer. Also end boom shook to hell. Ruts are going to be a huge problem in fields, Also if this keeps up and yes it rained again last night starting to wounder what harvest will be like. Hm have duals on combines but will they need rear wheel assist. Also semis are not going to work this fall with all the washed out roads, they will never have them all fixed by harvest.
    On oats front since that is what is getting disease control. Two fields are on our best land so well drained and higher elevation. Looks good so going for best. But price is problem and it seems with every thing the market is trying to fill fall orders now with last years product because they know their will be a shortage once all numbers are out. So lets look at value, 100 plus oats at 3 makes 300 an acre. 70 peas at 5 makes 350 an acre. Just checking out some nice pea crops on the red army's farm. When you got the dollars to give it every single thing and no worry about cost it must be fun to farm. Nice going guys.
    Any way what other disasters have guys had spraying this year its been a doozer. Have to wash sprayer every night because booms get to heavy by end of the day.

      On our 4720, heard a vibration then shutter by time I hit the switch it was to late but got out of the water to dry ground. Seems with all water were going through the drive shaft should of been greased every few days its a bitch to get at never had this problem before. Should have phoned a professional swamp buggy operator and asked such questions to.

                I thought you had absolutely no crop growing out there SF3??? Isn't that what you told us a couple of posts ago when talking about production? Recreational spraying???
