randall, I am in Ga and thats as specific as I can be until I meet again with current tenants. The soil here is sandy, gets like powder when extremely dry, not much clay at all.
I can see where the pivot could sound extreme at this point but like jack said, if water is ever regulated in this area, I would think regulations would go towards preventing new installations first, then later regulate those with them. Then my chances of having water get way slim, which would make a good yield totally dependant on a wet year, not to mention land rent goes up times by about 4 times if you have irrigation, if I decided to lease it back out...BUT yall are right, payments have to be made somehow by somebody.
Jack, from the little I know, I understand what you are saying. However there are a lot of people here going back to conventional til, at least at this time. A man who deals with farmers in his business told me he believes that as much as 70% of farming locally is conv. til.......which is way up from 4 or 5 years ago, some even going backto cultivating beans and corn.
Now is that why I have the equipment I have, because i'm convinced farming here is going back that direction? Of course not, from talking to others, it seemed this equipment would get me through a few years to get a handle on what direction I was going.
Do yall feel this equipment, although old but in fine working order (the ripper spider w/71s), will hurt yield vs a strip till rig? will it hurt yield enough to justify about a $18k price difference in planters, on a 60 acre farm?
Randall, drag racing is my passion, if I could do life over id be pro stock racing in the 80s...but I have put it down for a while, one reason is I learned, to make $10k racing, start with $100k, when you get down to 10 youll walk away.........i may be about to learn that with farming also huh?

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
