Last week was a busy week.  Some fields were plowed, some were disked, and some were planted.  We had the elevator come in and air seed about 38 acres to orchard grass, clover and oats into alfalfa that wasn't completely killed out when we planted beans.  With luck the plan is to use the oats as a nurse crop that will help to keep the weeds down.  The oats will be cut before it forms oat heads and bale it as hay.  Then the orchard grass, clover and alfalfa will be left as hay.  We've had so much interest in horse hay that that isn't strait alfalfa that we decided to service that market more than our small field of brome grass hay.
