We own 180 acres - about 30-35 acres of it are old fields - or pipeline. The field with the RR corn/tractor in it - is about 15 acres. The plan has been to split it up with tree plantings and corn plots - to make several soybean and clover plots. This way the field is "huntable", with the prospect of a deer around every corner - instead of a 15 acre, overgrown, barren field like when I was younger.

Yep that's the tractor we use mostly. That is my Father's International 504. Its been a good tractor - though I see from the picture it could use a paint job. -

Thanks FH, I have a Massey Ferguson 135 that I got when I bought my house and property so I was wanting to know for a long time what type of tractor you were farming with.

Thanks!

I guess you never recovered the John Deere that was buried in the mud, eh. I will not forget that you suckered me with that one. You've gone a long way with this and I'm still tuned in. Thanx!

Farm Hunter we are picking corn and it is running around 200b/a, and it is a ll RR either Dekalb or Asgrow , both from Monsanto... Hope we get the corn before we get the wind. Shelled until 2 am last night......

wheat and rye is about 8 inches now and growing well i will keep you up to date on it

Trophy did you say earlier that you mixed them together.. Thats good to hear they are growing that much, any activity in there yet....

Always enjoy reading your posts.

I only got to page four in reading so iof this question was already asked i apologize.

This summer I worked for a lawn irrigation compnay and was in charge of weed and feed. Could you spray the urea with the round up and do it in one shot? I ask because I use urea and Trimec together for lawns.

ron
not alot of activity yet but it is real early and alot of acorns they would rather eat

buckmine, you ask wether you can or not mix them together, I don't know, but I wouldn;t, yopu could be setting yourself up for a synergistic effect and end up with nothing. I wouldn't use the urea if I was trying to kill the vegetation.

buckmine - thanks

If you were knifing in the urea - it would probably be ok - but most people knife in Anhydrous not urea. If you were over-the-top-spraying liquid Urea - I'd agree with Ron and say - "probably not" - because the Glyphosate needs a chance to work on an "actively growing" plant (weed). and a liquid Urea application at the same time - might cause the weed to "go dormant" in response to the quick fix of Urea - reducing the Roundup effectiveness.

However - with that line of thought - a spraying of Round up 1 week after Urea incorporation would be a good thing. Once the plants (weeds) have a chance to get accoustomed to the N, they grow quickly - the Roundup at that stage would cause a very quick reaction.
