Called in the big guns this evening to get our 10 acre field ready for the alfalfa planting — my father-in-law LOVES to fire up big green. He doesn’t get in the field as much these days since they began to share crop their ag ground. It has been 11 years since this ground has been worked, the cash renter exclusively no-tills, almost to a fault. We had to smooth out a few areas that have washed some.
The ground looks great, the coop said it doesn’t need any inputs until fall. We did have to put down about 16 tons of ag lime.


I need to wait a couple days and harrow it, to really smooth it out.

The persimmons are finally beginning to catch up with the chestnuts in the bareroot potted experiment.

Got the 10 acres harrowed this evening. We’ll see if it passes the father-in-law test tomorrow. I left the harrow at the edge of the field, just in case. Lol
