More mud farming 101: I’m going to try and get about 4 acres plowed for fieldcorn on Saturday. Hopefully, there’s not too much standing water left in those fields. The weeds are high though, so I’ll definitely bushhog first. It’s kind of cool watching the wakes roll off my little old 2x12 plow, as I pull it thru the water holes with my larger 4 wd loader tractor. I see that there are (4) more days of rain predicted after Saturday. No telling when I’ll be able to get that 4 acres disked up after it’s plowed. My 8 ft pull type disk, also undersized for my 4wd tractor, has good cleaners on it and don’t do too bad in the mud. I’ll definitely be opening up some ditches, with the new compound angle teracing blade that I picked up last week, prior to planting. I’m hoping to get that fieldcorn planted by the end of June. Having some good ditches should help with that, since it don’t look like we will be getting much relief from these persistent rains, anytime soon. I am very thankful to have gotten 1/2 of my sweetcorn planted last Sunday. At least that should draw in the coons for early “damaging” trapping, killing, and burying.
