My row crops are in.. Not that it makes any difference to anyone. I think I'll go smoke some ribs and have a beer or 12 this afternoon.

First pic is July 5th after a hail storm took 12" tall milo to stumps. Second pic is the same field today. I wrote it off in my mind as an insurance claim, no way it'd make much or finish. I might be wrong.. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Today I signed papers to officially became a landowner. This is the abstract showing my great-grandfather on my mother's side originally purchasing in 1927. It's pretty cool I think.

I really don't like talking or bragging about yield, but this is the first crop off of my first land purchase. Second best field of wheat I've ever grown. Good place and time for it.

One perk of farming in my little area of the desert fringe.. Flat, smooth mile long runs.. Ought to make someone jealous.

I've replicated this over several sites in this field, so I'm pretty confident in my conclusion.. Milo with heads will out yield milo without heads by a significant amount.

Turns out if you're in a field where the yield doesn't suck, the stupid wind isn't quite so noticeable.

I suppose I kinda like my tractor. The articulated 4wd can be a little awkward at times, but it handles that 1100 bushel cart with ease. And driver sits up nice and high to see loading trucks.

That 16 row 7200 planter I gave less than $9k for couldn't possibly work.. Stripper stubble won't work either.. Horrible ideas.
To be fair, the frame and hydraulics are janky af on that planter.. Someday I'll upgrade.. Maybe.

It doesn't matter to me if you don't like/want to no-till. It's your farm, do what you want.
This is just one of the reasons I do. 2" of rain, water standing in the yard, road is a mess, but I can drive in the field and my tires are clean. That low spot always flooded out before

Baled off straw vs stripper stubble and a couple more timely 0.25" rains. Left was a one year lease, I knew it would be risky. Can't win them all.

No-till guy built a tillage tool.. The Australian controlled traffic guys might call it a tramline renovator. Basically a VT rig that'll do two 30" wide strips on 120" centers. Plan to run on every 120' where my sprayer runs on CTF trams on some new ground that's really rough.

I'm glad I planted 40' of solid stem wheat around my borders I guess. Sawfly is even hammering the semi-solid stuff. Needs to hurry up and dry so I can get it out before I lose more.
