If you recall I do some custom organic farming for the neighbor. This is in So. central Mn. You have to do some sort of tillage every 4 days from the time the weeds first start
coming in spring until the crop is to big to drive a tractor through. Already this spring I have been over it 4 times with field cult. Went over it 4th. time last night with
intention of planting corn today. Wouldn't you know it, started raining this morning and been sprinkling off and on all day. More rain forecast for tonight so no planting tomorrow.
So you know what that means? You guessed it. Work it again with field cult. before planting. Then 4 days after planting, drag it. Then 4 days after that rotary hoe. 4 days after
that rotary hoe again. Then start with the cultivator every 4 days until corn is to big. I spend more time on that 80 acres then I do on my 400. I'm not complaining though, he pays
me well. I just don't see how someone can turn out organic farming when you hire it custom farmed.
