April 6 2025, Here I am spreading Boron which was lacking in the oats field. I also spread Sulfur with the horses. I did do some plowing with the horses to get started but soon switch to the tractor plowing. This year the weather was very cold and as I see it killed a lot of weeds that had germinated in the fall. |

Nov 30 2024. Despite my efforts at weed control my harvest was very poor. I again tried in September and thought I had the weeds in control but there are lots of weeds..My oats for 2024 was a disaster which I attribute to the very warm weather in January 2024 which germinated lots of weeds. |
