in a dream I saw a RAMP that went on the FENDERS and the RAMP FOLDED DOWN BEHIND THE FRONT WHEELs and went down low enuf that the JUMP WAS NO ISSUE for KOBY or any other doggie that ain't MINITURE TOY SIZE anyhow... and it was on a spring that would hold it UP a bit, for roading... if it needed to get out of the way,,, I THINK there could be a henge on it to swing out and away from the side when ya need to get into that side of the combine/tractor... I COULD DRAW IT UP FOR SOMEONE THAT WANTED TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT CUZ THEY WANT TO DO ONE FOR THEIR DOGGIE and my description was ''weirdenglish'' to them... lol

In the mid 60's I rented a neighbor's farm that had been in the first long term reserve program, didn't have a Big Bud, used a 530 John Deere gas and a 3-14 semi-mounted plow, of course it was only 80 acres! I was only 14 then, plowed up plenty of rocks too! Planted soybeans there wasn't much for herbicide then was a weedy mess the first year.

@ronjessie8194 Год назад

We're a no-till operation and I know every area is different but in SE Washington (Asotin County) we've had good results with CRP takeout using a mow, heavy harrow, and chem-fallow order of operations ahead of the 1st crop. Good luck fellas and keep on farmin' 👍🏼

A little western Montana geography lesson. Stunning. The mountain views! I have had the pleasure of doing a little backpacking in the Appalachians and the southern Rockies, but not the northern Rockies. That rugged country in western Montana is truly breathtaking. Thanks so much for taking us with you and sharing some of the Big Sky state with us.

Appalachians are part of the Blue Ridge MTS. The Rockies go up thru Washington state and the most dramatic part are in Canada.

@Manoffire260 Год назад

Actually Dennis it’s the other way around. The Blue Ridge is a subset of the Appalachian Chain which goes from Georgia up to Maine. Some would also question your statement about the Rockies in Washington state - Many geologist claim those are a separate set of mountains known as the Columbia chain and are separate geologically from the Rockies

@berryb745 Год назад

I was born in 83, all i've ever understood about crp is bad, "big brother" type stuff, apparently what i remember of it, was my my great uncle and grandpa talking about it was, the farmers would only get like 1/16 of what they would have normally got, and some farms where basically forced into doing it, someone (county / state ??) told my uncle he was going to put in 16,000 acres into crp if he liked it or not, I dont know all the details of it, and I remember very little but I do remember my uncle swearing he would burn half of west texas before they touched his land, and kill anyone who tried to take it, (again, most of what i remember is sketchy at best). Plus he owned the cotton gin / warehouse and bought and sold cotton from all over west texas,then moved into farming insurance side of it when i was old enough to know what was going on (guess it all worked out in the end), guess my much older cousins didnt want anything to do with farming.

I compliment all of the Welker family for your courage to keep going in this adverse time of government, oil crisis, and food productions being so hard pressed against our climate as it goes from one type of system to another as it has for eons of years. I really can't hardly believe Coby looks so healthy. Your looking quite well as well Robert. I haven't seen that part of the country since the mid seventies. Just how fast time goes by, and we were having fun at the time... wish I had known you folks then as I had a healthy appetite, a strong body to work hard, who knows... you just might of made a farmer out of this old mechanic
