Alright...
So, I have been calling around to all of the farmers I know in the area. I talked to a guy this morning, and I personally like his answer the best.
He said that if I can come up with a sub-soiler, to use that. Rip every 5 feet or so apart, and go right up to t he creek, that should help with drainage.
Next he said to plow and disc and get the grain in as soon as possible.
I think that sounds like the best plan I have yet, so now I want to ask a question about yields. I was reading online, that in northern WA and ID fields, the average non irrigated wheat field pulls 30-60 bushels and acre. Well I didn't know how big a bushel was, so I Googled it and it said a bushel of wheat is 60 lb's!!!! IS THIS TRUE?!?!? That would mean that if I planted my acre of wheat, and I got a yield of 30 bushels per acre, that I would have 180lb's of wheat??? Something doesnt sound right to me, what do all of you guys think??? Bryce
