I live in Florida and have a 2 acre plot which I would like to farm. The land fllods easily when it rains. I have a ditch in the center where I can have the water run into so I can pump it off. I am thinking of running my moldboard plow on both sides of a line creating a bed - but because the soil is so sandy, it might was down when it rains. If I create beds, I will not be able to use my brush hog near the plants - A lot more weedwacking will be involved. I am thinking of planting coconut palms since they are not easily damaged by flooding.
If I plant my coconut plants 10 feet apart and run a ditch with the plow for draining in the center of the row - would that be a better option? Using the brush hog would be a problem here also. I have a New Holland TC 40DA with a bush hog, a box blade (6ft) with tines, A disk harrow, A soil buster. FEL bucket and pallet fork.
Thanks for any input. I know there is no right or wrong answers but any suggestion would help.
