I got 3 small plots in last weekend. It's been a tough year with fabricating n refabricating the equipment to put these in. We were able to plow a plot roughly 18' x 120', lime/fertilize/seed with a mix of tetraploid ryegrass/rape/berseem clover in June. It looked great after a month with few weeds and lots of evidence of grazing. Unfortunately i didn't get either a trail cam or exclusion cage in place that time. This past weekend we planted a mix of rape and barkant turnips in a 3 plots of roughly 30' diameter, 50' x 120' and 30' x 75'. Got fertilized/limed/seeded just in time for this week's rains here in PA.
We used a 'ripper', spring harrow, homemade disk harrow and cultipacker that i spent most of the last 8 months messing with. All equipment had to be pulled with a 450cc Yamaha big bear as no tractor available for our use. Lots of work but also great satisfaction to see the modifications panning out.
