Well my buddy got out to the farm yesterday and the report is good.The Sunflower patch turned out ok in most areas.



Unfortunately got it a little thin in one area. Gotta get a planter.



The bean/corn plots are just flat kicking arse with all this rain.The beans last year must have fixed a lot of Nitogen because this field has not been fertilized at all this year.



Planted a mix of Sunn Hemp, Quail Haven vining soybeans and something called Teosinate around the perimeter of the bean/corn fields for screening. Seems to be doing pretty good.



This has been my most ambitious summer planting ever with 4.5 acres of beans/corn, 2 acres of Sunflowers and another 1.5 acre in the screening mix and finally am planting enough I do not need to fence the beans/corn. They are browsing the heck out of it but there is just to much for them to wipe it out.

Looks damn good. Your lucky to be able to have enough flat ground to plant that large of an area. One day.

Yep, I have gorgeous woods and views for miles, but hard to find a place to put any green fields.

I am lucky that I have about 25 acres of decent tillable land to play with in my 320 acres. Only drawback is it is on my west line abutting whats soon to be 220 acres of bedding (clearcut last year) and it is right on the most heavily traveled north/south road on my property so it has a lot of activity around it.Pretty much have to go by it to get anywhere, thats why I am trying the perimeter screen.If this field was in the center of my property it would be solid gold, but hey I ain't complaining.
