Great videos and thank you for sharing your experiences. I took the plunge and look forward to my spring planting. All the best.

Your going to have a lot of fun with that! My no till drill is one of the best investments I have ever made.

Unless I missed it. What about water? Do you have an irrigation system? Do you just depend on the rain God?

I am thinking about west texas. Ft Mckavett area. Rocks and dirt. We have an awsome pecan orchard but each tree has a water line.

No irrigation in La. One of the reasons I think La. has so much potential is that it rains here...a lot. Makes it easier to grow things. Course it also floods a lot here. Thats a problem but most of my property is high ground.

I do have a 60 acre pivot at the ranch. Just planted 20 acres of milo and 20 acres of soybeans

I wish I could purchase one of those drills. Talk about spending less time on the tractor and being more efficient. Maybe one day it will happen.

First spring plot with a notill drill is in the ground. Thx again for sharing your experiences.

Great info, thanks. These videos are awesome. Would you treat other white clovers like you do durana and mow it that low assuming its not too hot/dry?

I have a imperial wt clover plot this year in addition to a couple red clover plots with some durana mixed in.

I think its ok to mow most white clovers low. The question is why do you need to? I would only mow if it is weedy or you need to release it from small grains or such.If field is clean and lush I wouldn't mow.
