No Harvest for You!

I am with you on that, braveheart. People forget what roots and earthworms do for us in long term no till. I will raise you your ten inch screwdriver, and use a 20 inch tire iron though!

Started direct seeding in 1982 so 33 years it's mellowed the ground and soil is improving.

Too funny, have it dry out and see how easy it penetrates. Can we hear from some of the typically dry areas on the subject.

Every process takes longer when soil is muddy.
Hard for dryer areas to comprehend.

Spraying was so much nicer in 2015 when land was all drivable without getting stuck for the most part.

88, I'm still bouncing across sprayer ruts from the recent wet cycle. At its worst it seemed like the sprayer was always trying to climb a hill or out of a hole. A couple of times it just sunk, where you wouldn't think it would. We never had it as bad as the people east of here though. Didn't have much trouble with the combine but trucks were a different story. Careful what you wish for. I was hoping for a drier year but not this dry.

Questions

Sorry to be a pest but you are starting to high speed till your land?


That's no longer no till.

But is it considered direct seeding.

It's really no different than preworking when a guy had discers or boxdrills?

Just asking?

If the soil is so melow and permeable why isn't it accepting the water?
