The corn and sorghum planted last spring stood through the winter providing food for wildlife; primarily deer and pheasants. In preparation for tillage, plowing and discing, I chop the stalks with a mechanical stalk chopper. Due to operator error the power shaft of the chopper was bent. It's a very old machine consequently repair parts are not available. A welding shop in Volga was able to true up the power shaft making the chopper functional. Today was warm enough to operate an open station tractor, i.e., one without a cab. Now all three fields are ready for plowing.
Entering the food plot with sorghum seven hen pheasants flew out. As mentioned in a previous blog pheasants prefer sorghum to corn. That field will be replanted to sorghum and brood mix. That will provide food for chicks and winter feed for pheasants.
Takk for alt,
