South Central South Dakota | Doing a test plot here also thanks to Bob. I'm 12 on 12 though so 30ft may not pan out so well. 4-6 rows seems to be the magic number. My average pop here is 22500 but outside rows are 33800, next rows in are 28000 and the other 8 are 22500. Looks good and with roundup and cadet can spray it all easy granted it was clean field latter year and burned it good at planting. Is gonna need a pass within the week and I should be good till harvest.
Biggest hinderance I see to the system is needing to get locked into smaller equipment to make it work successfully. And what mean by successful is gaining the most yield potential which where even narrow strips are the key. If I just farmed 2500 acres and had no livestock and it worked like the talk and such I'd probly do most all my acres this way. But I have 500 pair and 500 acres of hay to put up also. When harvest time comes I wana get in and get out so I can get back to the other things I have going on. |
