Just finished the field corn….hoping to feed this to cows n goats this winterView attachment 1308020

After the corn dries and is stored, go back and strip the fodder to feed your stock.

This is my nitrogen distribution method. These girls having fun riding that bucket. Good times.

Will do. Gonna try n use as much as I can to save on feed bills through the winter.

Looks like it will work as good as my method of a bucket and small folgers can.

Those girls are getting it done! Love it!

We got some good rain on Friday and again yesterday. It seems like the corn grew a foot overnight. Everything else is cranking along and looking great! Second round of okra is up and looking much better.

We got .08 yesterday afternoon. Plowed some spots to plant right before it came and it was dry enough this morning to plant a few more rows. Probably about to get dry.

We picked about 5 gallons of beans yesterday before packing for the beach. Got a pretty good down pour too. Gonna make for a weedy mess when I get back I’m sure. Dustin, that is an excellent looking garden plot

This is up in Carrollton. Friday’s rain was a blessing. Cloud pretty much popped out of nowhere. We were right on the edge and got a slow steady rain for about 30 minutes.

Good deal. I thought this was at ur place just over the hill. This mornings rain was great. I can see the sunflowers really starting to come up (hazy green in the middle front dirt area right of garden), and I had about 50 pigeons n half as many doves working the field as soon she rain ended. I enjoy this time of year when you can really see the plants respond to rain.

N those soybeans I planted (bright green middle back) are really doing good. Not so many deer around this area to mow em down.

I ought to plant some , maybe I will this fall. Spray program if I do will be a must. It’s easier and cheaper to just buy some though.

That is very cool. I’m really hoping my blueberries ripen this year. Last year they just kinda stalled n never ripened.
