Friday Crop Report on Thursday!

[makar]

My years of crops, IMHO, one has to seed/plant like it's NEVER going to rain. Therefore PACK well, however you stir the soil. It dries immediately. A 1/2" rain solves ALL germination issues.

$1 million drills= $10,000 drill/AS if that 1/2" happens.

Blasphemy!

I agree with the exception of canola.You need to seal in the moisture but over packing on our soil causes soil to bake hard and canola not able to break tru. The best drill we ever owned was a ih 6200 disc press drill.In canola we would take out the little pressure pins and just let the weight of the disc assembly set the depth. Grew amazing crops with that drill, simple , easy to set however had to be almost black dirt to seed into.

Disc drills are a swear word here.

BG selling 3720 disk. Nothing works everywhere. Too wet overpacks even in black...hence mud is a dud.
