Put in a few waterways today. With the torrential rains we have had these last few years, some of these wash outs were getting close to 6 and 7 foot deep in places. I made a few rounds with the disc to smooth it down a bit. Then I got this great idea to use the plow to fill in the washouts, which surprisingly worked extremely well. After I plowed them shut, I hit them again with the disc to smooth them out, then I drove up and down them with the tractor and disc to pack it down. I plan to soon spread some fescue and sew wheat in them. I put a picture of our corn in this spot, which is pretty much pitiful. We got 4 tenths last night and 4 tenths about 3 weeks ago, and thats really the only rain we have had since early may, besides a tenth or two here and there. I guess we will harvest what little we can and hope for better luck next year.
