Got started spraying today and I had time for a few pics.

This is a field of corn just down the road from my house. Anybody guess what happened here?

Some guys working around the neighborhood today.

This is what happens when you no till without using any burndown and dont get back to it for awhile. Its only 8 acres but what a mess. Note to self, dont do that again!]

Now this is the way its supposed to look!

He's a tough critic and he is just waiting for me to screw something up!

hey Greg, are you really from Omaha? I am too.

I think its already planted.

billonthefarm · May 29, 2008

I planted it a three weeks ago and the corn is up and looks good. You can see the paths the row cleaners made if you look. Its hel so I have to no till it. It's the only no till corn I plant.
Put on 24 oz of touchdown and 2.25 pts of guardsman max today. That ought to clean it up. I just hope it didnt hurt the stand to much with all that weed pressure. Giant ragweeds, common ragweeds and lambsquarters mostly.

This farmer has a 7000 deere planter and they tell me this is what happens when the drive clutch slips. I saw this happen to another neighbor a few years ago. Not a real good situation.

"Giant ragweeds, common ragweeds and lambsquarters mostly."

Sure wish I had some here. Excellent quail food and cover.

Drive chain loose in the population transmission. Don"t ask how I know.

Where are all your Deeres at? I only saw 1!

No monitor on the 7000? What a shame.

What happened was that the tire's air pressure were not the same. Neighbor had the exact same problem on his John Deere 7000 a few years ago. Pumped them up to specs. and cured it.

Unless it is a good population count monitor it will not pickup little skips like that.

Some of the first monitors on the 7000 did not count population.
