Mid Michigan | I agree with everything you said on here. There is a lot lower hanging fruit to be picked on the tree than the compaction issue. I think you hit just about all of them in their grand scheme of things. How would you like to be a landlord that is getting paid on shares and the guy that is farming your ground says he is going to wait until February to combine his corn so you don't mud up his field. Something he probably did every year for the last 50 years when he used to farm it. Farmer can't pay his creditors because he doesn't want to make tracks in the dirt. He might as well be using a blimp to farm with so he doesn't have to ever walk on the land again! I could care less if there is 12 inch tracks in the field with water standing in them if all the bills are paid and all the crops are sold. Winter usually restores and mellows our ground pretty good in Michigan. All you need for a decent year is a good modern planter, a good sprayer, a good combine, and some luck with the weather. Most of the seed is pretty good, it has to be nowdays. | |
