Wabi,
Spent many a cold spring day ruining my eardrums aboard a JD 2 cylinder pulling 4X14”! The old days of discing the stalks, plowing and harrowing before planting were a good way of keeping kids busy and away from the allurements of the evil “town” girls. We finally went to the minimum till program at the urging of the county extension service. Best thing we ever did. Doubled our grain yields and increased our ensilage by 25%.
