If it ever stops raining...lol......the first pic will get hit one more time then disced a couple of times for turnips...the second picture will get a kill down and winter wheat put in...This is a new area so it is a low PH and full of weeds with what I call bumples....remnants of the plowing the farmer did years ago and never disced or flattened...I'll be working those "kinks" out ......the third is a 3 yr old clover plot in the woods

Ever loose track of the plots you do?

The second plot with the "kinks" doesn't look so bad!!! I'd you to come over to my place and see some "kinks"! lol

Clover looks great!!!

Dag thats a nice clover plot! And the second one you better put in a few rows of trees or corn or your going to get poached from the road.

Fine job. The second pic will be a calling card for trespassers come November, when that lush wheat calls in the deer. Wheat is always an excellent choice, but the view from the road will stop some of those, yets say the ones that aren't followers of the law. I have to be very careful what I put near road view. Made the mistake one year with soybeans, never again.

Yes.... I considered that...but this area is fenced in all the way down to the barn across the front where those pines are and 2/3's down the other side...plus our house faces it from the other side of road...since the goats.... we have surveillance....What is actually in the long term future is pasture improvement...the grass hides some real problems...besides "bumples"...lol drainage is one pretty wet and of course the PH....after a couple of years in liming...discing and a drainage project....... The older field fencing will be replaced more posts put in and pasture re planted..... calves.. ....in the mean time I will utilize it as fall deer feeding area...also to keep weeds from seeding and finding there way into the bordering fenced garden...

I 'm a 5 year planner ...Besides Mr B has plans in the works for a new barn/work shop in that area

Deer get poached all the time in my field by the house. They don't care.

Oh here as well...but as you can already guess this area has been used by the deer for years any ways my main reason for keeping the goats ...besides milk was as a deer attractant...especially keeping my bucks..their smell carried ..well every where....the goats droppings kept it well seeded in clover...and our goats would only eat clover as a last result...which kept the deer in there feeding all the time...it's just the need to improve the land that has me planting...never waste an open space

[growalot]

lol...last resort....not result....aaaahhhh never mind you guys should be use to me by now....and have the decipher down...lol
