Finished my conventional wheat today.
Get started on the organic tomorrow.
Going to rent a Degelamn pro till contraption to try and make a seed bed.
Calving has been going well. Found a few dead ones but not bad.
We will walk them home in a week or so and brand.
I am MAGA.

Mooner, you got trans gender bovines!
Richard, learning curve....
Jim, I was talking to my super farmer buddy the other day and I think he said those Degelman's were great for breaking up CRP and ANYTHING else.
I can't remember the exact model but I believe he said 22" discs that sit almost vertical and they have a roller type finisher/compacter deal.
You can pull them at like 10mph(?) but they require quite a bit of horsepower.

Thats what I understand Sam.
We pulled the Wishek over most of the ground. It was terrible, you saw the pictures.
Now that we have it broke up some we will try the Degelman device. Hoping that we can seed behind it. Otherwise I will have to pull the light disc over it twice.
You have to pull them at least 8 or they wont do any good I guess.
Hopefully my 8650 will pull it. It is by far the smoothest riding tractor I own.
The Challengers have much more power but are rough at high speeds.
They told us 10 horse power per foot. Its a 28 footer.
The John Deere might juuuuuuust pull it.

I tell you what boys, I am having a hell of a hard time plowing under any green stuff right now.
I dont really feel like spraying it either.
Got a terrible feeling like I will be needing anything I can get my hands on for feed this year.

Steers, bulls, and heifers.....I thought they were all cows!
Cows are just heifers? I'm gonna need a crash course!
They are on pasture and get about half a can of spent barley a day. A can being a 32 gallon rubber maid. They're loving the lush pasture. Just gonna play it and see how they do. They were vacc'd and wormed before we got them. Gonna put out a mineral block and a sulpher block.
All bullsbit aside, happy for any advice!

They are all cows when addressed collectively. Otherwise, a cow is a female who’s caved, a heifer is a female who hasn’t calved, a bull is a male with his nuts, a steer is a male without his nuts, and calf refers to both unweaned males or females.

Technically, it would be acceptable to refer to your herd as cows even though it is the smallest possible herd.
For example. It’s time to feed the cows.

Jim i’ve Heard those degelmen Protills are pretty sweet. Those vertical tillage tools suppose to really prep stuff. I just saw a video versatile came out with one now called he Fury. I like the rolling basket idea on the back as well. Hoping rain is coming your way. Seems like I just got out of this flipping tractor now got 1500 acres of lentils to roll. See my barley and peas both ready to be sprayed. Lentils could all be sprayed but you are suppose to wait between rolling and spraying as it is too much stress in the plant.

The rolling baskets catch hell if you have drainage ditches to go through. All the weigh transfers to them and they don't Ike it. Ed
