The Official Farming Thread...

[exSW]

Got a question for the farmers. Why do some farmers plant a planter swoth of beans then corn then beans throughout the feild. Why not plant half beans half corn. Just curious to what the benefits are or if its more for testing differant brands?

Most likely strip or contour farming for erosion control.

I'd hate that feed bill.

 

[jakethesnake]

There is no feed bill. Free birds. Free feed I pay for electricity and my equipment Chicken co provides the rest and pays by weight. It's basically a competition you compete against everyone else that gets chicks the same day better you do more money Basically

A local farmer passed away Monday when his tractor got pushed into the woods while mowing and rolled Pinning him against a tree. He was part owner of the local feed store and a lifetime friend of my dad.

Very sad! We must pray for his family. As I know a farmer who turned over in a trench silo a few years ago.

It's sad to hear about accidents that claim the lives of good people.

Missicks has a great app for parts diagrams. I've been using it for a few years now. It shows there inventory and price.
I use it a lot to find part numbers so I can search the web for a better price.

I've been using these guys for bearings because they've been about 1/2 the coin.
