To till or disc your fields for food plots. I’ve always had the option of waiting around til more favorable conditions but with my work schedule this year it’s this weekend or wait til November. Just curious on y’all’s opinion on the subject.
Workin for the man, huntin when I can.

It really depends on the type of soil. Sandy land can be disced when it's pretty wet. Clay or clay loam, bad idea. It'll be so cloddy that you'll never get it to break down not to mention that it will clog up between your disc blades, sometimes even with blade scrapers. It will wind up taking 2 or 3 times longer. Been there, done that

Been there, done that I tried to disc in prairie soil one time when it was too moist and the 8 foot disc quickly turned into something that looked like a solid rolling pin. It took forever to dig out the soil stuck between all the discs. #NeverAgain

Well I tilled about half of my remaining fields this evening then saw the clouds start rolling in. So I went ahead and seeded and spread fertilizer on them and started dragging when the bottom fell out. My homemade drag does not work well in dirt that isn’t dry. It’s too heavy for wet/moist soil. Acts more like a bulldozer vs a drag. I am gonna add making me a cultipacker to my unending list of things to do. But on a side note the Kubota tilled the shiznit out of that ground today. Tomorrow may be a different story. Thinking tomorrow I’ll just till the rest if possible and spread seed/ fertilizer, let the rain on it and hope for the best. If I hadn’t already sprayed and cut it I would just throw and mow it

I thought from the title this was about something else…..
