You might figure some for a helper. That could be a chore for a one man band.I just put that as my personal expenses so I can keep my bills covered
Ya that is true. I have been trying to think of how that would play out. Swath a day. Bale a day...cry...repeatYou might figure some for a helper. That could be a chore for a one man band.
So the color rating somewhat is based off of the area of interest and a ranking of the soils, the best soil series in the area of interest gets the best color. You can also web search each soil series and find a helpful description, for instance if it has a rock layer 100cm deep. You can look up pH on the chemical properties tab in web soil survey and should get an idea of wether or not the soil will need lime. You can look up soil organic matter and help figure out how much phosphorus and nitrogen will be mineralized, and to some degree if you will need much boron or sulfur. You can look up the action exchange capacity and have some insight into fertilizer leaching, you can figure out water holding capacity which has irrigation implications. Those are just a few things off the top of my head, the reason behind soil classification is often important. Salinity is important to know, some types of grass will die in saline soils, and there are variety's of alfafa bred to succeed in salinity.Thats an amazing website. Looks like 51,52 and a little 53. Which doesn't look good according to this. Am I missing reading this info?
I've had a blown head gasket, a new radiator, 4 tractor tires, and $350 in fuel.
That is very true.Just throwing this out ther. This week, and remember it's just Thursday. I've had a blown head gasket, a new radiator, 4 tractor tires, and $350 in fuel. All of those kinds of expenses are hard to calculate.
That's very true. And it would be older equipment. I have 10g for repairs but I can easily see how that wouldn't be enough. I can fix most things myself it would just be about the timing. Since I wouldn't have any backup equipment.Just throwing this out ther. This week, and remember it's just Thursday. I've had a blown head gasket, a new radiator, 4 tractor tires, and $350 in fuel.

I have been reading about all of that today and I think I just need to do a soil test and figure out where it is.
