Dry as a chip
Some welcome sunshine. Nice for the bean harvest but think it’s going to break my power Harrow. Concrete blocks but want to get the winter barley in. Ploughed, power Harrow twice, Harrow and roll, drill, roll. Trying to bring some moisture up and get seed to soil contact. Maybe we should wait, but fear that land won’t go till spring if it starts raining and doesn’t know when to stop.
Big cracks on the heavy land here and like concrete. A sort of drought that crept up on us through the damp but dry August.No choice here but yo wait for rain. I e not added it up, but we've had sod all since may. Soil here would take 2" over a few days.
