Comparing access and tract sizes from Kansas to Iowa is not that relative in my opinion. You could pretty easily cut up small tracts across southern Iowa in most sections with the the amount of gravel and level B roads. And this is just my opinion but I think guys have a lot better chance of...
You are 1000% correct. Farms would be chopped up into whatever the minimum acreage required to get a tag. I personally really like my “resident” neighbors also. I’m using that word very loosely. They put the money in and manage their ground very well.
We spent three years getting rid of all the thistles in our farm and then we had to redo all the crp and now they are everywhere unfortunately. We give up.
I don’t think it would work that well personally and if you caught the right rains you might get something to come up otherwise your just wasting time and money.
It all depends on what your tractor can handle. Also we do a lot of large plots so if your doing just some smaller plots and have narrow trails through the timber the tiller might be the way to go. It was just to slow and time consuming for us.
We have had a couple tillers and the one we have left sits while we use the discs at each farm exclusively. Take the tiller home to do the garden once a year. My dad made a couple drag harrows from an old one that we chain behind the discs that work great .
Back to the original post it’s not wet at all and we need some rain down in southeast Iowa. Forecast looks bone dry and hot the rest of the month. Going to be planting turnips in the dust pretty quickly.
