Dust bowl for sure

I went to the land yesterday to do a few odd things prior to hunting season starts. The farmer who makes the hay on a few fields was picking the last of the rocks that popped up when he leveled a 6 acre field. When he finished picking the rocks he did some more leveling with some big equipment. The dust storm was something to see. Over the past two months only .6 inches of rain fell in the area.

Dust...    I'm more impressed with that pile of rocks.     That looks like a lot of work.

You have a nice pile of rocks there.  They have a value too for different projects.

Too funny, mike89 and glen57.  Yes, I thought of that as well and I have to admit it, I have picked up a few and brought them home. 

They had a problem with the rock bucket. Because after disking the sod was mostly in clumps. The bucket would not allow the sod to fall through so they had to pick up and toss the rocks in the bucket by hand. Not something I would have enjoyed. I think more rocks popped up than they expected. I think it was a lot of work and expense to level a field just to plant some pasture mix hay.  Also, it's on his dime and we do not have any documented agreement, just my word that he can make the hay.

The ONLY other thing I know about agronomy is this...  If you don't pick them rocks out of the field when they are small, they grow to be big rocks.  (Or so I've been told.    )
