Not So Pro 3

[Lnk]

We are gearing up to add a lot of lime. The lime we use comes from Albany Ky, and is 35% calcium.

I may go that route too. You would think with all the limestone we have here, calcium wouldn't be a problem.

Lime is a lot cheaper than fertilizer.

It is a sign of calcium deficiency, which is also what is causing my tomatoes bottom end rot. While lime will adjust the pH, it does so slowly. I have been researching a liquid called agrigro super-cal, but am having a hard time finding application rates. I always take my time to thoroughly research stuff before I do it. I am looking for a long term solution, and it may be lime. Still doing research.

Adjusting the pH is great, but may not provide the calcium that I need.

Same problems in this area with the sage grass. Ag lime takes about 18 months to break down and be absorbed. I don't know of any place around here where you can get burnt/quick lime in any amounts. Quickest way to change the pH on soil, but harder to control because of the caustic properties of it. I probably need to drop about 5 tons/acre at parents and 4 ton on my place for a start. Nephew works for conservation department so maybe I can have him set up a prescribed burn late winter to help clean some of it up as well.

I'm going to just bush hog all the fields down pretty tight, then pour the lime to it. Ag agent tells me to do 2 ton per acre this year, and 1 ton per for the next two years.

Cut some hay with the cub. Not sure the weather is going to cooperate, so hedged my bets and only cut some. View attachment 431799View attachment 431800View attachment 431801
Going to leave that half alone. Still have the front and also the back of the neighbors too. View attachment 431802

Lots of raking in your future…

 

[Woodwackr]

Quite a bit yes. I cut the worst field first. We have possible rain in two days. My prime areas have none of the that, what we call broam (sp). Plenty of the stuff they like in this field though, just not in the pics.

Wow, not much drying time

 

[Woodslasher]

To all the Californians watching this thread, you're welcome. I finally got a haircut which guarantees that fall temperatures, at least rain, and possibly even snow will occur by the end of this week. It was a major effort on my part, but I'm happy to take one for the team.

Morning guys, Early start to a short week. Heck ya!!

 

[nbbt]

Morning guys. May be a short week but lots to get done.

Kind of gambling that the guessers are wrong. I have enough hay already put up for the year, any more I get will just end up being carryover. Not a big deal if I lose this bit I cut. So worth the gamble.

Good morning men. Cooler this morning, which I like. Not going to stay that way unfortunately. When I get a hair cut, nobody notices. When I announce I got a hair cut, they usually ask which one!

Morning / Evening All.
Had a good afternoon on the water with the wife and pup. Getting back to the routine and a very dark walk this morning. Some small does hanging in the fields watching us carefully.

 

[farminkarman]

Good morning fellas. Back to work I guess. Managed to put away 71 quarts of pears and 6 quarts of salsa over the long weekend.
