    School me on JD corn planters

    I only have one tractor, and will only do a few acres at a time for food plots, not for harvest. I may consider a 3 row planter. As far as reside, we have field with fescue and such here for pasture/hay land which I will plant corn into. I will spray to kill a few weeks before planting

    School me on JD corn planters

    I am looking at having RDH outdoors build me a JD 7100 style 2 or 3 row no till corn planter. What all options are worth the extra money and why? Do I need spiked closing wheels? Seed firmers? Row cleaners? Should I have the drawbar filled with peagravel for extra down pressure? (I have a 100HP...

    Brassica growth

    You are right. Need to get my PH right before I throw away any more money. I have lots of green tops but no good tubers. Can't believe it!

    Brassica growth

    I planted the big buck brassica mix from Welter seed the 2nd week of August, but everything is small. I haven't seen a tuber 6in long.

    Brassica growth

    Due to poor soil quality my brassicas have never grown that well, but are doing better this year than they ever have. My concern is the under ground growt of the actual fruit seems to be very little. I am only seeing tiny radishes and turnips. I applied 150lbs per acre of urea a couple weeks ago...

    Cleaning sprayer after using roundup

    I have let 15 gallons of roundup or so sit in my 3pt sprayer for a couple of months, I hope this stuff isn't too corrosive? Obviously the sprayer is plastic though. Anyway, I need to spray my pond bank, and a few various places with 2-4D. What is the best way to confirm I get all the roundup...

    Is it safe to drive over brassicas to spread fertilizer?

    have some brassicas just popping out of the ground and some a couple inches tall that are begging for fertilizer. Am I going to be ok driving over my plots to spread? I can spread a decent width so it's not like I will be driving over everything

    Brassica fertilizer

    my brassica plots were put in Monday, didn't have a chance to spread fertilizer, so planning to do it before another good rain here soon. Do you guys go by the LC mix recommendation? His numbers definitely seem like they are high, but I am not an expert so I can't really criticize. Have about...

    Brassicas planted today....a little late.

    Definitely thankful for the rain. Need to get some fertilizer out before the next rain.

    Brassicas planted today....a little late.

    Planted my brassicas (welter seed big buck brassica mix) today, august 28. Some rain expected this week and the soil is moist. Hoping they will do well. Last year everything germinated but no rain so they didn't do much. If need be I'll over seed with rye at some point.

    Roundup, them disc-how long?

    I was using 41% glystar. I think my mix was just right or light of anything. Time will tell

    Roundup, them disc-how long?

    That's my mistake. I was under the impression that was the proper rate for 50 gallons. I don't guess it can hurt anything, other than just a waste of gly (money)

    Roundup, them disc-how long?

    I sprayed tonight, after dark. It has been so hot the last few days. I'm using a 50gallon 3 point, PTO driven spot sprayer. We built a platform on the back so someone can ride and spray while someone else drives the tractor. A boom sprayer would just not work where I am planting. Going to disc...

    Roundup, them disc-how long?

    Let me ask this, how long until gly is "rain proof"? I am hoping to spray this evening, with rain expected tomorrow.
