robbo Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 What a mess they are making in the field, it will take some time for the soil structure to recover. It seems to be quite a poor yield as well \ \ \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpinefocus Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Great pictures Dan. I agree with Robbo the soil need some time to recover. The maize don't look also that good. Texas the field has never really dried out all year to give it time to grow properly. the field up the road had a much better yield and in the same conditions. strange how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
