Maintaining Field Edges + The Bull's Time To Shine + AI Plans For The Yearling Heifer + Ponding Water Has Impacted My No-till Soybeans

from Great Big Farmer · host Great Big Farmer

Recording in the barn (you can hear the fence charger clicking away).I've spent about five days maintaining field edges and I'm not done this exhausting job.Rule of thumb....May 10th is the Bruce County day to put cattle on pasture.My fencing system is archaic.The field tractor needs my attention ASAP.The cover crop in the field named "Bobolink" needs to get turned in so that the biomass can broken down in time for planting.Rule of thumb...Mother's Day is the first day you can consider doing field work in Bruce County.Introducing the bull to the cows is my highest priority right now.Susan has helped me with a plan to artificially inseminate the yearling heifer (she is the bull's daughter).Abby and I have pulled the dash apart on the Honda Civic and we need a win with this job.The swather is a wild animal.The sweep auger for the grain bin is almost ready, which is good because I'd like to sell the wheat.My "no-till organic soybeans" experiment has been set back by ponding water.Find your place in the world. Dig in, and take responsibility from there. - Gary SnyderPlease contact me with your own [email protected]
