I went to Manhattan today and it was one smoky SOB.

Burned some CRP tonight was really calm

Some idiot thought today would be a good day to burn. I guess 20+ mph winds didn't seem that bad They had to close the highway when it got away, jumped the highway and started burning the other side.

It's too bad the county attorneys won't charge them

They are sparking it up tonight! Probably a couple thousand acres. Big ranch by us is supposed to do a 10,000 acre burn this week yet.

Man yall light it up out there! Is that almost exclusively for cattle out that way?

 

[Catscratch]

I worked a track meet today. Smoke plumes ALL AFTERNOON all around us! Everyone and their brother is burning today!

 

[Catscratch]

Very nice!

If you drag a harrow over that you will be fine.I threw about 5 acres up in the air one day the wind was blowing 40 MPH and it looks the same as what was drilled.I drilled some switch the other day so hopefully it comes up.My alfalfa and clover sure aren't doing much

How far do you have to go to get material?

 

[Catscratch]

I've put 48 tons in the driveway this spring. Much longer drive than 8 miles for us to get it so I have it delivered. Looks like you have a great setup though. I'd be scared of what trouble I'd get into with a dump trailer and a quarry that close.

 

[Turkey Creek]

A dump trailer is on my eventual list of equipment to have as well. I feel like I would use it quite a bit.

Since I can’t get in the field to plant, I decided to upgrade the spray rig. Extended the booms from 10’ to 20’ and added supports. New regulator and pressure gauge should allow me to dial it in. Ready to get out again and it keeps raining. I’ll take it!

I need to build a decent spray rig. I am of the mind set that the better quality ones are way over priced for what you are really getting. The cheaper ones are a piece of garbage that last about 6 months. I built a cheap (temporary) rig for the back of the 4 wheeler for spraying my cool season grass and it worked well.

I like the strut and chain for the boom. Genius!

 

[Catscratch]

I've got to say that's a sweet set-up all the way around!!! Even has a shade on the tractor!
