Irrigation is cheating
Try growing on sand and clay in the hills

No such thing as cheating. Using what's available to make a profit is what we should all be doing.

I’ll be $40k into this well before I know if I can “legally” even pump water though the irrigator.

The whole reason for the irrigator is for the sand and clay hills.

Probably not. Last summer was dry dry dry. I saw 0’s on top the hills and 280+ on the bottoms so I know it’ll do better with water !!

This will give you a perspective of the quality of ground. Look at my finger compared to the diameter of last years corn stalk.

We could use a little bit right now. Planter doesn’t wanna go in the ground

It’s really soggy here with over 4” of rain in the last week so I decided to make a counterweight for my little tractor. I’ve had these chunks kicking around for way too long but I don’t think I can bring myself to use them for this. Probably just going to shove a rod through a barrel and fill it full of concrete.

Where did that iron come from? If you wanting to use it on a 3038 it just might outweigh the tractor as a 2038 is 3000 lbs without a loader so probably 3700lbs or so.
