i plant several varieties of bi-color which is my biggest seller and 1 each of yellow and white. not much white. took a few rounds till i could get a pic of a straight furrow.Very nice setup there, also a nice straight plow furrow. Do you plant different varieties of sweet corn or just one variety?

We try to plant several acres every year for the doves, they love them. they also attract 1000's of those little yellow belly finchs.Sunflowers are for feed or?
He looks pretty big in a pair of chaps and a hoodie .10-4. I had in mind you were a bigger farmer for some reason.

The trick I've learned is to always have your arm on you leg steering from the bottom side of the wheel. This keeps the wheel from turning when you turn your body. In a car hauling this is a standard that is taught to all drivers as they do a lot of backing in some very tight quarters.View attachment 499435kinda hard to drive straight and take pics at the same time.
Yep, the old Ford 309 2 row. 36" rows. i bought a package deal from an old farmer who was retiring for a second time.international 364,plow, disk,disc mower and the planter. parts are hard to come by for the planter nowadays. i see sets of "rare" 309 planter plates on ebay for $100.Rows look straight to me, Nice planter is that a ford, can't tell in the picture.
supposed to get some rain here the next day or so. the NH tractor is covered with dust from disking yesterday. the weather guys are saying possible t-storms friday. i cut some asparagus today and it's pushing up big chunks of ground.Good deal, now you need some rain on that corn, we getting dry here.
@amberg. what planter do you use to plant the sunflowers and what variety? also have you ever seen deer eating them? thanks.Think I am going to disk a couple fields tomorrow also in HOPES that it does rain friday. I don't usually plant any sweet corn until the first week or so in may. then start on the sunflowers about the 15th.
I love asparagus esp. with hollandaise sauce!!
