    What's a fair deal on neighbor haying my farm?

    We cut a few places that people just let us have so they dont have to mow it. That being said I have a buddy coming over later this week to bale 1 field then cut and bale another for half of the rolls. Our discbine went down, and pto went out on my tractor. I've got plenty of hay so it worked...

    We bale a lot of crabgrass makes great feed. I'd like to find something to drill in behind the winter wheat to help fill the thin spots. Would red clover have time to come up if planted around mid april, and make a 2nd cutting

    Bought my first place

    First 10 mins bushogging corn stubble on my new place and the ta goes out of my 1086. Not the start I was looking for. Found a guy to fix it but he goes in the hospital for stints tomorrow, he thinks he'll be ready to work on it in a week or 2. Labor and parts he said around $2500.

    There's one pond on it now. I grew up running all over this property it joins my parents place. I've caught some of the biggest fish out of this little cow pond that's not 45 ft across.

    To late to plant?

    It rained 3 inches here today with more to come. So it'll be another week or more, but I did find a no-till drill for rent in the neighboring county. Our co-op has one but they don't take care of it and it never works right so I'll try the other one. Thanks for the advise.
