Spent some time in the field this spring preparing fields for planting.
This is what I saw if I was looking ahead...
Or if looking over the right shoulder...
And when looking over the left shoulder...
And in the cab...
Fun Facts:
- At 8 mph and a 42 foot field cultivator, about 30 acres per hour can be tilled.
- Tilling 160 acres means driving about 50 miles.
- Each acres is tilled with a little over 1/2 gallon of diesel fuel.
- Last Monday I worked 3 fields totaling just under 160 acres in 6.25 hours.
- The same day, about 4,960,000 corn seeds were planted on that acreage.
- That amount of seed would have cost about $15,000.
