Mornin' Paul,

That sure sounds like a plan; I'm just not much of a dry land farmer so this is really becoming a learning experience for me.

The only field that is "pressuring" me this year is that 66 acres in the upper right. Last year it took the hail; the fellow who farms it knew it was going to be sold so this past fall he reseeded the hailed out wheat as well as the fallow all into one patch of wheat.

Wheat on wheat two years running and it is shouting at me to get some nutrient back in the soil.

I'll worry about another 80 acres of grass hay next spring. It's gonna get the plow treatment and that should put the whole place back into a proper rotation the third year out as there are roughly 50 acres in second year alfalfa now.

The place has 120 acres of pasture so the whole she-bang has got to be funneled thru some mama cows in order to make it work, seems to me.

Thanks,

Allan
