We are MMMMMmmmmmoist up here. Frost just coming out of the ground. Sidehills wet. fence lines wet. Water still laying in the field.
We are doing Cat work. Pulling out fence lines. Cleaning up Small Bushes.
I think we are at least 2 weeks away from start up.
This is what Im thinking Troy. Ive used it before and liked the results. You can get after it at about 8-12 mph but with 41ft you need a good 450-600 hp to get er done. With my hills that later of 600hp is needed.

Well you know how it goes, I think if I spend another 200G's I just might be able to save this spring thing. Were sitting with 6"-1.5ft of snow in the fields. Looking at VT to blacken them once we can get out there.
I would be asking more question about the previous motor install. If you got 60 miles out of it I question if it had break in oil in the tank? If it had oil in the tank you would at least get that tank of fuel with less problems. My first guess is that the oil pump or some of its components were...
There are lots that just dont know about that. I have had similar experiences people waving at me. One guy gave me fist bump back when I was the tail end.
I feel that a few years of drought up here as well would cool the big guns down and they would have to retract a few acres for the portfolio.
When you get 5+ years of bumper crops some guys think they can farm the world. I would think they have over extended themselves. We had land sell within...
I find crop insurance to be a joke. However The landowner is responsible for the crop insurance and if it comes to that we will sit down and discuss. Hail insurance is a different game and I would take that. Ultimately it comes down to the good relationship and the fact that I cash rented this...
Got few around here paying $120 but its mostly because they are assholes and don't want the neighbour to get it. You won't get a single new acre for much less then $80-$85. Some longterm agreements from back 20-25years I suspect are less and around 65$-$75.
Thats what kinda goes on here, except the landlord shows expenses going out and income coming in. Im just the hired hand that owns all the equipment makes all the decisions and holds all the cards. At the end of this year when the landlords crop didn't get in out the field they wait just as I...
I said work a crop share, the deal Im talking about I don't do any splitting. It's a ****ed romance of numbers so the Landlord can hold onto farming status.
I hold 100% of the income after the same as renting it just comes to me in different forms other then grain sales.
