Doing a little spring burning. It was a bit windy and the fire started to migrate out into the corn stalks. Roger brought the red "firetruck" over and took care of the issue.
We also seeded a few new water ways. Erosion control is an important conservation practise. In the bottom pic we are tilling an area before seeding. This piece of ground we rent from my grandma. The previous tenant used a different land management style than we do so we took some time to seed some areas that needed it. This does take a little land out of production but is a better for the long term soil conservation. You could always think of it as us doing our part to reduce an amazingly high predicted corn and bean planting acres, just trying to keep the price up.
