JC Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Two passes Dan?? I thought with the poor weather we've been having that the land would not take that much working down.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I learn't the other day that ground teompreture needs to be a minimum of 10C for maize planting, the guy I go on with grass for said he is having trouble finding customers that have ground ready at that tempreture but hops to have made a start this weekend.
