    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

    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?

    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.

    Late corn fertilizing

    as mentioned before, I have a spotty corn patch with some decent corn. I have not fertilized it and I know it needs something. I have roughly an acre or so, part of which I'm going to be planting brassicas so I will be adding nitrogen for them anyway, would it be ok to broadcast spread some urea...

    Spraying near NON RR corn

    for the first time ever, after several failed attempts I've got a decent corn stand but have some very large bare spots I'm going to plant brassicas in. I need to kill the weeds first to do so. How close can I spray roundup to my corn, it is not in rows, but broadcasted.

    Pull type ATV broadcast spreader

    I am looking for a heavy duty spreader to pull behind my ATV. John Deere/frontier makes one, the 1022SB, and it is also available rebranded as "tar river implements" its $550 and seems like it would be worth if from the pictures I've seen. Tartar and king kutter also have a spreader that looks a...

    Critique my fall plans

    I've got around 25 acres on the back side of my farm that my farmer cuts for hay. There is a good bit of broomsage and stick weed, so once the farmer cuts it for hay here in about 3 weeks, I will let the weeds grow for a week or 2, then get the local co op to come spray an herbicide such as...
