    On Friday Pat Howard, my son Top heavy, and myself put in 13 fall plots varying from 1/2 acre to 2.5 acres each. These plots were on 4 separate farms with at least 30 miles from the 1st to the last farm. all but one plot was done in virgin soil Most had to be tilled 2-3 times so it was very time consuming. 8:00 am till 9:00 pm. Thanks again Pat and Top Heavy for all of your help

    Thanks for all the compliments These farms got a combination of buck forage oats purple top turnips and dwarf Essex rape. This combination is what the outfitter wanted planted. I may have used some radishes and winter wheat if it were my property

    When do the deer hit the winter wheat? I was thinking about planting some of this next year.

    Dan,

    Out in SD, the deer absolutely love the WW. It’s one of the last crops to remain green prior to going dormant or getting covered with snow. It’s a definite fall kill plot material for us. Last year I watched over 50 deer filter into a field at dark. This was in December.

    Bring on fall!!!

    So much for blindly standing up for a fellow JD boy! Report after report, Pat’s Kubota has be going color blind Guess I could always defend my self by saying it was painted like an Allis!

    Hope the PTO problems are minor; fixing that sort of stuff gets very spendy very fast Wish ya the best

    I generally plant winter wheat in late August. They hit it as soon as it come out of the ground and it stays green all winter

    That orange tractor and tiller are bullet proof ! Now the mower on the other hand

    It was just an orange blur in a cloud of dust Lapping the big green tractor ! Like I said the tiller is the right color any how !

    Pat, Todders and I rented a Kubota L4330 to till last weekend. Guess what the pto slipped worse than my 3010 deere. I called the kubota dealer his response was that any kubota that is used with a tiller on a regular basis will have pto problems Now I don’t know what Brand to buy

    I don’t like the sound of that either! These machines get put to the test every minute they are working and am sure they all have some problems . With me being fresh into the market, with zero brand loyalty, I hope there is a way to not end up with a lemon! What can I say, green and orange both look good when they are ripping up soil
