OK started prepping this site since the ground thawed
Its a about 2.5 acres in one big section and about a 1/2 acre in a small section
whole field is just over 6 acres
will plant half now and then other half later in fall, if things go well, budget wise
this whole plot was made using my ATV, a small harrow section I took off a big gang harrow
I started turning teh ground over while it was soft after winter, and then every few weeks did it again to help keep it soft
two weks ago I sprayed it with a round up type chemical, last saturday I turned over half of it, didn't have enough time to turn over whole plot
so today I turned the whloe plot over
added some fertilizer, 200 lbs of soybean seeds and 25 lbs of round up ready corn(beans were round up ready as well)
I then turned over the plot two more times to mix the seeds and fertilizer in
then rolled it with a culti packer
in about 3-4 weeks I will respray again with round up if need be!
and then come mid Aug.
I will reseed this plot with Brassicia
some pic's to see it now
and will up date as it grows
what it looked like before I started more or less

also, I picked and removed about 6 trailer loads of stones out of this site too
its lots of hard work, but help make the site better
do this every time I turn it over before a planting
seems like new rocks show up every yr too!! LOL
trailer holds about a ton at a time, so the ATV gets a work out doing this and the plots, 12 yrs of doing this with this ATV too, well worth what I paid for it, its a tool of an ATV!!
