Is that some Clarion or Webster soils in north central Iowa?

Hi , Haven't got a clue . The top one is a field about five miles from me and the bottom one is just down the road a 1/2 mile . But yup , it's just north of and a touch west of Waterloo about 20 miles or 18 miles due south of Charles city . ...Randy

Wow, thats some corn growing ground there. Have only a few that moldboard plow around my immediate area the last 10 years, but this past year just about everyone has the plows up in the shop prepping for spring. One guy that farms 3000 acres of min till and no till, told me he just bought a 10 bottem plow, Hmmm, said hes maxed out on eqip acres. I know my ground he had rented had major compaction issues. Thanks for the pics.

The bottom picture is near as the same soil as I have since it's just a 1/2 mile down the road . I've been told by the neighbors that it does around 200+ bushels an acre . I only have 13 acres of it and the hay crop sure hasn't inpressed me yet . But this year will only be my third year growing it . ...Randy

It's rolling hills around here , not to much change in elevation maybe 60-80 feet . It took me years to get used to how flat it is around here ! ...Randy

Well both those pictures were plow day pictures in spring of '06 ( top ) and last fall ( bottom ) . Keep the tractor on the trailer 'cause there seems to be a few around here every year ! ...Randy
