A few weeks ago this girl poked her head in and ate a month’s worth of milk collection data. Hungry for more data, she regularly returns and licks the wall where the clipboard used to hang.

Seen at the Midwest Mechanical Weed Control field day. Was shocked that 'rotary hoe' is pronounced 'row-tare-ee' in Ohio, but slowly becoming a fan

Upgraded hoe bits are back in fashion! More aggressive on weeds and longer lasting. $1/spoon and $250 for the jig to weld it yourself, or $2/spoon welded by a dealer

Another angle of this one. Water jet on left cutting through 8' sorghum sudan like butter. Sharp double disc on the right bent more than it cut

Grass got bad, trying to 'burn and bury'. Flamed most yesterday, cultivating today. Small broadleaves almost a non-issue after flaming.

Please join for a roller crimping field day this Saturday! Lots of lessons learned from previous attempts, and hoping for lots of discussion on organic soy systems/rotational no-till

One of the new features in v23.0 of is a tool to adjust an RX based on cost. There are several methods, but one popular option is to reduce the lowest rates of an RX to 0. This allows the areas of the field that need fertilizer the most get the full rate. @agleadertech
