I found the title for this post to be grossly misleading. UC, I was thinking it had something to do with, well, ahhh, never mind. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

We had a retired neighbor that was a hooker in minneapolis and of course he worked the night shift. ...For the Star and Tribune paper He set the type and set the frames in the machines so thus he was the hooker. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

MFfarmboy I often wondered how Hooker Ok. got it's name. Used to tell my young student truck drivers that we would switch drivers at Hooker Ok. Got some funny looks most of the time.

| To answer the question as best as I can We have a neighbor that striptills he has 24 dawn units on a bower bar on tracks he pulls it with a cat challenger and they have a montag cart behind it that delivers fertilizer with a blower. The machine does take some adjusting to get it set right but they have good yields using it. One thing you have to be careful with is on slopes with the heavy rains we have had the last few years you can get some washing in the strips. They have also used a soil warrior to make strips that were worked deeper, but that is only an 8 row it is heavy and pulls hard.. They do strips in fall and also in spring ahead of the planter, they have a 24 row planter and with auto steer on everything try to plant right on the strips. They cover every acre but only work 1/3 of the ground. The other thing they do is manage wheel traffic, they have done yield checks on individual rows and they find a lot of yield loss next to the tire tracks but not on the other rows. Or I should say maybe increased yield on rows with no tracks. |

| Dan...I strip farmed for past 30 sum years. sure cut down on erosion on hill sides. when I first started, I measured out in the fields. that didn't work for chit! I then set up my planter for population control, and I had enough extra boxes to just change them when switching crops. i'd plant so many rows of corn, switch boxes and plant so many rows of beans, that put the rows in the field right on next to each other, alfalfa was also in the senereo, and after a couple years you were able to see where to plant what in each strip alternating corn and beans. that worked the best. some fields I planted corn and beans the same day. |

| If you ever have to repossess a car from one of them gals, it can be an education. I had to send my repo man after 1. The next day she showed up, seems her whole wardrobe/working/play tools was in the trunk. Bosses brother is the head deputy in the county. He just happened to be there in uniform when she showed up to get her stuff. His questions were rather extensive. We was all out in the shop rolling on the floor laughing. He was sure having fun too. I know this didn't answer the question, but the question was a little -- well you all know. |

| Seriously JD, a real good friend of mine started doing this back in the 1970's. He used a IHC 3 point 12 row planter behind a 4566, I think, 4X4 IHC tractor. He said it worked well, but his ground was fairly flat. He set 1/2 of planter to do 6 rows of beans the other 1/2 to do 6 rows of corn. He had some trouble with the beans lodging into the corn, but a farmer modification on the Bean head solved most of the problem. Sure looked neat along the road. |

| I do strip-till following my soybeans. It works well for me and saves a trip across the field in the spring. I still chisel my cornstalks in the fall to help with weed pressure except on my highly erodible ground. |

Only tillage I remember was dragging thet 13 foot disc around and around behind thet old model A, while the big tractor,a 1650 Oliver sat in the machine shed. Wasn't until I ran away from home at age 18 did a bigger disc show up on the place. Only thing I could figure was dad musta thought it would keep me out of mischief. Same model A chopped the stalks too. I hated thet tractor. But the oliver was't a closed cab either so there wasn't a lot of improvement. At least the model A had a heat houser so you was warm half the time. ------------- I still gots my A/C but it's clear out in the barn now. |

any downfalls to the dawn units? what crops? any other info you can share? Thanks! |
Posted By: DanWi

| They did some work with dawn and got their unit dialed in pretty well I think it runs a row cleaner and a couple of coulters to make the seedbed then it has firming gauge wheels on the back, the one thing they did with them is they have a single wheel on the one arm and on the other side they have a dual wheel that puts one right on the row to firm the seedbed. they run air for more or less pressure. On their unit they have a power unit on the hitch a small diesel engine that runs the blower on the fertilizer cart and some other stuff. They run it in corn beans and wheat stubble and they have been trying some cover crops but in their covers that grains such as rye they need more nitrogen in corn, but they do like clover in wheat stubble. just like some of us the last couple years, cold wet late springs have been a challenge, planting into heavy residue or mulch. The one thing I say is alot of our corn gets harvested later in fall and it doesn't give the stalks time to break down where when you go farther south harvest is early and corn stalks break down more in fall. |
