Got MOST of the oats in today

Till I ran out of alfalfa. Dad even went and bought another bag after we figured we'd plant another feild, and then another...

He cleaned oats on Monday and bought 2 bags of alfalfa at first, and originally we were just gonna do one 5 acre feild. Then with a tree nursury moving away from across the road from another one of our feilds, we figured we'd seed that one down again too. No problem, clean a few more bushels and buy another bag of alfalfa.

Then I worked another small (1 1/2-2 acre) strip we rent from another guy that's right next to some of our land. Ran out of alfalfa seed when I was about 1/2 way done with it, so I had to pull the pin and we'll have to buy a little more seed tomorrow.

Probably a couple spots where the drill ran out before I stopped to push it around in the box and went a little ways again. Might replant a couple of rounds and just live with double thick oats to make sure the alfalfa is in. 25 lbs of seed oughta do it...

Still too early for corn, but I might try to fix the PTO joint on our manure spreader.

Lucky you if it's just a u-joint on the spreader. I cracked a gear box on the V-max day before yesterday. Got one shipped next day and got back at it yesterday. I don't EVEN want to see the bill on that one.
 
Well, today I made a little more work for myself today. We pulled the corn planter out with my brother's 550 and a drawbar on the 3 pt arms (his hitch is still being painted so he doens't have it) and I turned too short while backing it up. Bent the $*%! out of the hitch. Hopefully I can straighten it out.

God new is the grain drill is tucked away again in the shed, but the crushers need to be put away yet. Now the corn planter is in front. I took the hitch off to bring it in ot work and put it on the press. Also have a corner wheel and base for our barn cleaner in the truck to press in a new pin & bushing while I'm on the press.

Got atleast 2 weeks until we can even think about corn. Too cold yet to put it in the ground.
