Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Where did all the dandelions come from?
Every road ditch is yellow..so are some fields..

yes thats what i was saying !

[AC man]

Beautiful!!
Sure must piss your nieghbors off that you can seed that good without an independent $1M drill, lol

Partners has a really good established crop of canola. Just shows what a good operator can do with with an older drill and being able to grow an excellent crop without the high capital cost.

Amen. So good to see and it keeps we who aren’t cutting edge in terms of iron, hopeful. Sometimes it feels lonely out here as the one guy in the country wo a paralink!

I have wondered that myself. I’m grazing a sudden influx on one piece with the sheep right now. Apparently feed quality is as good or better than alfalfa. All I know is they love them.

Upon observing the pasture, I came up with a semi theory.

One thing I found out is that at times, dandelions don’t bloom, and they sit there and vegetate. I believe newer established ones don’t bloom as much. Then when conditions are better, they bloom. Where I bale graze, in the areas of well covered soil they are vegetative and huge. Outside the thick layer of mulch, they are blooming and smaller. It looks funny actually, so distinct. My theory is that the mulched ones are vegetating because under that thatch is endless moisture and much cooler conditions, maybe more nutrients too, but IMO the nutrients won’t show up till next year. Outside the layer it is maybe a bit dryer, and certainly warmer soil.

My point is the dandelions I think are always there. You just don’t notice them if they ain’t blooming. From a distance the vegetative ones look like beautiful lush grass.

It is a miracle how the seeds we plant… if 1” with care and Love… when the spring rains come and it germinates… our planted seeds don’t discriminate who planted them or how! Germination of Seeds is truly a transformative event of life! Any Engeneer would be proud of this Miracle of Life!

Paralink shmaralink! Scads of c shank drills running all over. Take hwy 16 or 619 and lots of them in the fields. Heck throw in some old deep tillage cultivators with technotills to boot. I get it if you have 5000 acres to plant you want something that can get it in faster and more accurate. If you have a lot less acres and willing to run speeds which match the capabilities of your drill and pay attention to setting things such as wind and depth you can do a great job with stealth double shoot paired rows. Neighbor has a bg8810 with midrows for years and still does a great job in the hills besides the hawks and conservaplow. Some guys you could give them the newest and greatest seedmaster or a bloody sack of seed and Johnny Appleseed and they’d still stuff it up. There’s bush farmers who seed with fertilizer spreaders and cultivators and get good stands.

It really is that simple isn’t it Tom? Same as when a lamb is born, and gets up to nurse in two minutes or less. They ALL do it. It was no accident. Amen.

We hatch chicken eggs frequently. A plain egg. Fertilized. Hatches in 21 days. Some wild birds hatch in 11 or 12 days. Come on! Anyhow, the chick forms in three weeks. And has an egg knife strategically placed on its beak. All of them. They ALL know how to twist their head into the air bubble for their first breaths. And how to pip a hike in the shell at the right time. And once the sharp egg tooth is used, it falls off.. Random chance? And that’s just scratching the surface. The complexity and the physiological factors involved are truly awe inspiring.

My Grandchildren are now hatching eggs… It is unbelievable how fast those chicks grow… (they keep them in the house till a month old) you can almost see them get bigger over the course of an evening visit… almost as fast as the grandchildren…!!!

The miracle of Life is awe inspiring!

Our guinea has been sitting on eggs since before Easter. She has faith.😂

It's just ALL an accident of random evolution! Ya right! Absolutely amazing, a wonder, if you can THINK. All the genetic results in TINY seeds...animals...farmers know it's miracles in action. Creation on going, our part to play.
