And its nothing really special at all, just as best of tillage as I could do, small controllable areas, a lot of feed oats at $15/bag, couple of bags of that TSC plot spike, and some timely rain. I did get 50 lbs of No Plow as well. A walk behind broadcast spreader with pneumatic tires is fine for oats, pelletized lime, and fertilizer, with the NP, I used a hand held Scotts broadcast spreader for better control and not waste any of that expensive seed. Even if you have some water erosion concerns or just want to test the waters, start with some small strips, its enjoyable to learn as you go, and if something goes wrong, its not a big deal, I've corrected poor plow jobs, drainage, controlled weeds etc,.without much trouble. The mold board plow results, and how the disc prepared the seed bed after, per whats in my photos is as best I could do with what I have. Its evident that doing a good job with the plow is important, so I made the extra passes with the single bottom vs a lesser job with my 2 bottom, it was a good decision as I did get most if not all of the weeds, grasses etc, to die off as it was hot and dry when I did it, and it was right after I cut the field with the rotary mower. Now next spring, I'll likely get rag weed, some thistle coming back, and possibly some grasses, but it will be a lot easier to deal with, some years I could not plant, I just plowed and left as such, weeds were way behind areas that were left alone, no erosion by water, probably a bit from wind if it got dry which is not for long around here in the colder months.

Everything looks good in photos, thats just a thick stand of oat grass, way over populated, but graze tolerant,the Plot Spike oats even more so.

Hopefully some help and influence !

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract. ... [Read Article]
