My last job before going fishing for a week was a 40 acre field of oats that I did simply cause I can hunt here if I ever want to. No one else would do it because there isn't any money in small jobs but fringe benefits are often over looked by money hungry entrepreneurs :wink:.
Just a bunch of pictures taken in a circle from this little knoll where the forty acres reside.

Sure is pretty country up there Barry.

That would certainly hold some critters.
I got a question, how in the heck do you spray something like that without driving acrossed it? I didn't see any paths or ruffage and I know your tires aint going down between those rows. :laf:

You certainly qualify as one of my customers :alscalls: :alscalls:.
Why cause you didnt answer my question like you dont there's? :laf:
Pic's 1 and 2 :doh2:.
Jim it is unbelievable how many calls I've had over the years from :argh: customers who I allow to chew on some tender meat until I politely ask "Have you actually physically walked in your own field and checked your crop"? Sometimes they don't even say "I'll call you later", they just hang up and then later I get the sheepish call,"Sorry about that first call, but how the [L] do you do that?".
Even from the sprayer you can't see the tracks from the last path in any crop, you have to look right down the tracks to see them and if it's damp out the crop can jump right back up in a day making it tough to tell I was there.
Man that would be a good site to build a house for the scenery, my sprayer broke Thursday and I called Barry Friday t see if he would come down and spray my Plantation Crop but he turned me down said he had to go fishing. :laf: :laf: cc

Barry,
That sure is a nice looking field. I would love to do a coyote stand in a place like that!!

Jim all it takes is the doing :confused:. I think you can see six places I've taken pics of "good" coyotes in them pics. :wink:
So wut wuz u spraying on the crops?...I watched a guy with a rig with big booms on it spray a corn field I hunt and he said it was weed killer which would kill the weeds but not the corn...aint figured out how they do that either :confused:...the guy said he has a company and they travel all over MA,NH, VT, and ME working and he said he was busy as all get out. While I am popping off questions.... :biggrin:....does it ever cut into business as far as the trend to have organic veggies with no chemicals?...pretty popular around here and they charge way more for the "organic" produce, just curious.
I was killing weeds too, and I also spray fungiside's, pesticide's and fertilizer. They have found many chemicals that will kill one kind of plant and not another :shrug:. There is hardly any organic around here as they have found they still can't get enough for the crop to offset the yield loss's. I don't have to leave my home territory to give me all the business I want. I've sprayed in a lot of Alberta and here is as good as anywhere. Part I like is I'm dealing with farmers who are using there own money so they sometimes think on what they are doing.
Barry sprays fields almost as big as those 4 states. :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:
Thats what I was thinking :biggrin:
Barry, How much per acre to spray a 16% grade in West Virginia? :laf: :laf:
Al you better contact the fellow Nasty was chatting with as I'm absolutely positive your FnCountry has more rules on how to spray than our cat has hairs :laf: :laf:. I've talked with a couple fellows who do it down there and it sounds kinda/sorta spooky ;yes;
