Put in the correct amount. Lower the setting a bunch and drive around at random til its empty.

Thats a good one !!! Supposed to be getting 3-5 inches is what the man says on Channel 10 .. Monday and Tuesday.

Dennis ... the barn is not full yet... waiting for a clear window to get the hay baled. That new pasture is disapointing me ... I'm not seeing any activity in reference to the bermuda ... I didn't see much when I rented it and believe with the drought and over grazing it may be in trouble ... so I sowed it to pearl millet for some grass to bale and some grazing ... I quess this fall I'll cover it with rye grass and see what next spring brings on ... I may have to plow under the rye grass and sprigg bermuda in February.

Once we get some consistent weather, mainly warmer nights, you may see some life in it. what little Bermuda I have now, is growing, but hasn't really went crazy yet. We sure have be fortunate moisture wise though.

Well I'd like to see some life in it ... we have been very fortunate for moisture... hope it continues. Forecast shows 10% Monday, clear Tuesday-Thursday with 10% back again next Friday. If that holds I will start cutting hay Monday with 2 tractors and roll on into the night time hrs ... I've got 160 acres ready ... think I'll take 80 and get in done relook at the forecast and hit the next 80 ... then again I may just keep rolling till its all on the ground.
