Got Done Harvest!!!

[Braveheart]

No pulses. Canola stubble, wheat stubble. Three or more passes with 4" reversables. 6 mph.

I used to do it. I know tillage.

Also, I'll bring it up again. On our farm, the economics don't support tillage.

I don't wear blinders. I'll look at anything. I just don't want to compromise on the health or security of our soil. It is one of our goals to protect it.

I was as die hard of a zero tiller as the rest of them UNTIL two springs ago I did fire guard to burn off some grass seed stubble and had twice the crop in the fire guard as the rest of the field. Field didn't get worked last fall and again this year there was twice the crop in that fire guard.So now **** it everything gets worked. No one pays me to protect the soil and I'm in this business to make money and now really don't give two shits what shape the soil is in after I'm under it.

They must be bored to do that many passes.

The suspenders to polka dots ratio is off.

[agchat]

Each to there own, but more importantly i do believe your you live and what your soil is like is the answer to the almighty question. I myself am working some of my stubbles this year because of 19 inches of rain since may. In 2011 us old time " strokers" got some crop in because of our stupidity of tillage, while at that time the firm one pass boys all they could do was watch us seed some land. I see this year they are working the vast majority of there cereal stubbles also, some with the new vertical tillage tools.

[Braveheart]

The thing is, your farms are your own property. Do with them as you wish and enjoy them.

[farmaholic]

Braveheart. I had to think about it but finally got it. If there's more polka dots than suspenders maybe you can help even out the ratio.

[Braveheart]

That would fine were that the case. But sadly, there are more suspenders than polka dots.

Speaking of changes

I agree with furrow. It's not seed all no till or summer fallow half half. It's finding a balance. On our farm it's burn some, kelly harrow 1/3 of the acres and heavy harrow. tillage is back with direct seeding the ground after 30 years needs some tillage. Or do like manitoba drop straw and burn rows at night.

[seabass]

Cant burn at night in manitoba. Who does that. Lol

In Manitoba you soon won't be able to piss on a field
