Subject: RE: 1 day too early


waterloo iowa		I had a neighbor that had to be the first one in the field every year and you could always see his wheel tracks in the first field all the way to harvest. One advantage the smaller guys have is that they are more willing to let a wet corner of a field dry and go somewhere else for a day or two than someone who sends a hired man to do a farm 20 miles away that has a big wet spot in it...

I have seen guys pull into a field at nine o clock at night and be buried to the frame by 10. If they had looked at the field during the day they wouldn't be fighting compaction for the next several years.

One year I cut beans on an angle in an odd shaped field that was wet and the next spring I put on anhydrous at the opposite angle,,I could just feel the tire marks every couple seconds ,some campaction is unavoidable.But shallow compaction should be taken care of by freezing and thawing
