Great fields and perfect timing. Also I am impressed with your equipment!

Most everything I have I either built or bought as junk and fixed up. I've been working on getting what I need for years in the event I ever bought a piece of property. Now if I could just find a like-new no-till drill for dirt cheaps I'd be set.
 
You ever see hogs on your place. A buddy's place just north of Elberton is covered up with them. We trap 15 or so for the freezer every year or so. If they're anywhere around you'll know it in that corn field. LOL

I got one picture of a hog since I've been here, but yeah, I'm extremely worried about them and the corn. I hate nothing worse than a pig.
 
Really enjoyed the land tour and being a single father for a long time my 2 young girls spend a lot of time in the deer and duck blinds with coloring books. Brings back a lot of memories. My youngest shot her first deer at 10 and decided that just wasn't something she enjoyed but my oldest, now 16, is eaten up with hunting as much if not more than me. I cherish every minute in the blind with her.
You have some beautiful land and some nice equipment. Look forward to seeing your corn and beans mature.

I've been home with a sick youngin all week and haven't had a chance to get over to our place until today, and that was only to get out of the house and check things out for an hour or so.


We swung by the corn field first to check it's progress. Timely rains have it doing great at around 12" tall now. Another week or two and I'll hit it with gly and hopefully that will cure my weed problems for the rest of the season. Then a week or two after that I'll sidedress it with another 50lbs of nitrogen and I should be done with the corn work.




Next stop was to check on the two bean fields I planted a 7 days ago. The day after planting they received 2.3" of rain and it shot them out of the ground. The biggest field I'm fencing in just to see what happens. I know it's putting double the pressure on the other bean field, but I want to insure one field 100% makes it to maturity.





 
I skipped work today and ran over and fenced the biggest of the two bean fields. The deer had already found the rows and started picking them off in the other field.

I love playing hookie every once and a while.
Looking good down there. I'm probably 40 miles NE of u in SC.
 
Great lookin place, beans and corn are pretty and green too. Keep having fun with the little one. She'll remember it always.

T.P. - Not sure how I missed your thread but just discovered it this morning. I'm gonna blame it on "too busy at work these days". I had the good fortune of getting a tour of T.P.'s place a month or so back. One very sweet piece of property! The guy can build anything out of steel including implements. Post up a few pics of the subsoiler you built when you can.

Glad you started your land thread. With The LLC, Possum, David, SOS and a few more I'm prolly missing, we have a good group of guys around here that love land and habitat work. LLC helped me graft my first apple trees earlier this year and all are doing well. He's got a beautiful piece of property. Would love to host a grillin at my place sometime this summer for any of you guys in the area.

Keep the updates coming!
 
Working with steel is the only job I've ever had, I don't know how to much much of nothing else. I've never bought anything that was made of steel unless it was one of those products that was just cheaper to buy, like trailers and such.

Here's a 7' box blade I built a few months back.



It's a bad dude.




Here's the 2-shank subsoiler that C was mentioning.




Here's one of my babies. 9' cut with 24" disc. She heavy too.









Then I took this abused 8 row planter I picked up and made a 4-row and (2) 2-rows from it. All parts that were supposed to move, didn't, so every bearing, chain, disc, bushing and sprocket were replaced. I even built seed transmissions for the 2-rows.


















 
Back to my original thread... I went to my place yesterday and spent the night and took a few pics while I was there.

7 Acres unfenced beans.






Fenced beans.




And have I told yall how much I love corn?
