Couldn‘t get the wheat harvested for 5 weeks because of constant rains and saturated soils. Planted DC soybeans right behind combine. Got 1/2“ of rain shortly after emergence. Zero rain and 100+ degrees nearly every day since then. Beans hanging in there well. For now.

#Relay #Soybeans looking good. Had some challenges this year with some of them as we weren’t able to get the wheat out in time. Still a learning curve for us in our unique row configuration but I am convinced this will be a successful system for us when we figure it all out.

@AgTwitter @AgX Where do you guys buy rubber tracks these days? Been calling a few places for a set of 18“ Magnum Rowtrac belts. At this point feels like I‘m trying to buy something illegal the way all these guys are behaving about ‚Territories‘ and availability…

After almost 3 months, #plant26 continues. DC soybeans going in - wheat harvest still not concluded since the ground doesn’t want to dry under a solid mat of lodged wheat.

#AgTwitter We pulled a complete Raven Viper 4+ system (MY 2020) off of a Case IH Patriot sprayer. Smartrax RTK node / single product node / Speed node / Ultraglide Automatic Boom height system (hydraulic + electric). Would sell it all together or parts of it. DM me if interested.
