Season came to a close yesterday, so its time to start a projects thread for the 176 acre CRP farm I rolled into after the sale of my 122 farm late summer. I closed just in time to get 9-10 acres of fall plots established.
The main goal for this spring is to get a 15 acre section of the CRP cleaned up and begin the process of establishing switch.

Even with no till, weeks and weeks of 95 plus degrees and no rain will be tough on the brassica. Although I guess most folks (not me) got a bunch of rain yesterday.
That corn looks great by the way. Like the no till drill, is it new? My problem is I'd have to also buy a bigger tractor.

There was lots of rain the weeks prior. This plot is on top so drains well. Im not ever going to till another fall plot;l. We got rain the last two days. No-till certainly makes it more drought resistant due to not turning the dirt to dust with a tiller or disc(releasing all the moisture) prior to planting.
Ive had the drill since 2017 or 18 I believe but never tried brassicas/fall plots with it other than the cereal grains last fall (broadcast small seeds over top).
Corn is kicking a s s- way better dirt than my last farm (I am right off the east form Chariton River.)
What size is your tractor? I used to run this drill with my mfwd 40 hp MF.

Got some major work done yesterday and Sunday. Borrowed buddy's reach forklift to get new blind on the platform.
Took yesterday off work and jammed out 11-12 hours on chainsaw and tractor skidding out a total of 18 big cedars for posts for the house, only need 6 more. I will still need to do some limbing on these but the tops will get stuffed in the fencerow to funnel deer through the gap next to the new blind.
