Our annual crop needs a birthday cake.......

A bit off topic however I am curious about your fert. floating rig. Is that your own design ?

Yes it is. We had an old spinner and it only held 2.5 T of urea and was due for a rebuild when my brother was talking to some Aussies and they had a similar setup. We built splitters so we doubled the runs off the Morris and built the spreaders too. Three pins and four hydraulic hoses to remove and then it's hooked back up to the air drill. 75 feet X 8 mph @ 250 lbs an acre is where it seems to max out at. Works great for alfalfa seed too.
When I get back around it I'll have to take a few pics.

Woodland. Good luck with wildlife damage as I found out if no value,ie less than 3 in tall then can't pay on something with no value regardless if geese, deer caused it to be no value. I don't know if I can swath it or not it was leaning enough last fall what I did cut I did one way,i thought what I may be able to put in a swath may be of some value to me, but cutting between water holes and draws probably not worth the trouble, but what the hell I can't do anything else so might as well aggravate myself with that.

Horse the adjuster came out today and there's about 200 acres left to combine and my brother haggled him to write off 30 acres which was less than we were thinking but better than nothing. He asked about pink kernels and my brother told him it'd be a #2 (it wasn't last fall) after cleaning so we're getting that instead of feed price. Our conditions sound similar to yours so I don't know why you were denied? The swather was sitting in the field so maybe that helped? Currently pouring here. Hopefully things work out for you whatever you and Mother Nature figure out. And remember, it can always be worse.....

Your Morris fertilizer spreader sounds interesting. 👍🏻

As far as the unharvested crop goes, keep your chin up. Its a big mess many of us (including me) are dealing with and no use being hard on yourself about it.
I've been wondering at what yield of feed wheat with goose droppings is the cutoff for burning vs harvesting as well.

Oliver here afsc will pay up to $0.62 a bushel for cleaning wildlife excreta out of grain. Did it about five years ago when the geese did a number to our peas and it worked out fine. Hauled it to the seed plant and afterwards straight to the hog barn and everyone was happy. Burning isn't an option for us since this is on a coal mine and they won't let us.
