Good morning everyone. .12 of rain and 32 degrees here this morning

6" of rain over night will in fact put us in a Flood Warning until 6 pm. It will also flood basements, creeks are out of their banks, water standing in fields & roads closed but the Kansas River hasn't been this full in a very long time.
Happy Monday 💫

@JoeFarmer71107 @yatertots98 Joe, too many think theirs is the only way. What works for you probably won't work for me, but we all have things we can learn.

@yatertots98 Why can’t you just ask. These are irrigated fields and it is minimum till only loosening soil where the plants are planted. I have no till dryland as well.

In what world does it ever make sense to till ground that is powdery dry, while in drought?
Trying to ensure the moisture goes to 0%?
Worried you have too much dirt on your field?
Mind boggling.

When I said farming sucks right now I meant we are in a drought. Farmers and ranchers are used to price fluctuations and we can deal with that. This drought is way bigger than me. I put this out because Colorado supplies water to other states that are hurting as well. Pray for rain not just for me but for all who are struggling.

This is what we call strip tilling. We literally only disturb the ground where the rows of crop will be planted. There is a trash whipper to move the previous crop residue and then the shank goes in the ground approximately 8 inches deep and places the fertilizer at whatever depth you prefer. The wavie discs are slightly angled to fill the void from the shank and a packer wheel to pack it all.

@wolfsden53 Sounds about right. I think I hear that 8430 running from here. Love the sound of the ole work horses. 💪

@JoeFarmer71107 Ill get photos of ours. Directly into stalks or rye. Only tillage is on pivot track or washed places

@wolfsden53 I vertically till ahead of it to knock out early weeds and then strip till. My tillage consists of about 2.5 gallons of fuel per acre
