My son and I got a few fields planted. The first pic is how high the rye was. You can barely see my son on the 4wheeler above it. The field was pushed out last fall and had brown top, then winter rye. The field by the lake was like the surface of the moon, very eroded and pretty much just chert rock. I hammered it with brown top, then rye, now brown top again. We have also been laying the fertilizer to it.
My tractor kept getting the air filter clogged and running hot though with all that rye.
