Ummmmmmmmmm- about that first picture titled wheat on rolling pasture ground- in this area- if we describe a farm as rolling- it always has sum hills on it. Where are the hills?
Nice lookin' crops.

Well db , I consider us good friends ! And good friends tell it like it is , right ? Well here goes.
Pic. 1 of the wheat . looks alittle thin in places where water may have set , also looks alittle S m u t t y , one more rain on it and your combine will black as coal , but i think it will still make 30 .
pic. 2 . why not put a few more wheel tracks in there ?? My god what a mess ! If it don't keep raining the roots will never make threw the compaction !!!!!!!!! BTW if your not doing anything today , why not just drive across the field a couple more times !
pic 3 , well the sun dog at sun set is pretty !
pic 4 . I would save my money on fungicides and spray on that small stuff, my god man it's June 14 th and two leafs , can't wait to see that stuff in July when the heat hit's 105 !
But all in all you did try hard and thats important ! Think you have the underachiver award rapped up , Congrats my friend , KenLast edited by ECI; 06-15-2011 at 05:53 AM. Reason: didn't know s m u t was a bad word !!!

MoMo. Wheel Tracks. lmao...that's the turn rows in the corner of the field, and there were alot of point rows. Also, since I didn't have auto steer, sometimes I had to make two or three runs at the end, sort of like a plane doing touch and gos. Kenny, I think that other picture of wheel tracks is where I made a pass through the field withouit putting the marker down, and I had to double back with the planter up and marker down to get my next round. lmao. Obviously, I have some issues with the planter. By July, most of this stuff will be burned to a crisp and I'll be whining about it here....but probably will get a late August rain and it will make a comback to around 220. lmao. I was thinking maybe two fungicide passes so I could make some more wheel tracks, maybe let them use a half rate and double back a couple of times.....maybe they'll leave the floaters on the Hag when they spray....maybe smash down a few late emerging weeds at the same time since I don't have RR corn.l
As for the rolling wheat ground, that is the only flat spot in the field, I was to fricking lazy to walk to where the hills are., but trust me, there are a couple of places that are steep enough the old 9500 might not have enough power to thresh and take the hill at the same time.
