Time to Smash the Root Balls

I finished planting soybeans and now after planting this practice of rolling your fields has become a popular thing to do. It flattens root balls and clods while pushing stones down making harvest much easier lessens the chance of combine damage. I rent this one from a neighbor. Rod .

Rod;
Have you hit the rain lottery yet? We have had 4/10 since the 1/2" that we got in January that winter killed the alfalfa low spots. All the row crops are planted into moisture, but the pastures and alfalfa need rain BAD!
 
We had .6 in on Thursday, we where in the same situation. I had some beans laying in dry dirt and had chemical on top that needed .5 to activate. We were blessed to receive that rain. It is raining light now as I type, with a good chance of storms later today. I hope your area gets wet today also. Rod.
 
Rod, Thought that I would be able to report to you that we received an inch of rain early this morning but it turned out to be just fifteen hundreds. That roller would be a good insect smasher too! I used one similar to that one several years ago to pack alfalfa in.Great stand of alfalfa and it emerged in ten days.Pulled it home 25 miles with my 2002 dodge cummings, what a long and heavy load that was.Pulled it just fine but heavy.Those rollers were 42 inch if i remember right.Good to see that you are getting some quality time with your sharp looking 1370.Just a small patch of corn left and then on to the beans for us.We did get a few cow calf pairs moved to pasture which helps cut down on chores giving me more case tractor planting time.
