Continuous Wheat and Frozen Edamame. (GCW 24-25.)

So, in order to get the Gray Havens to a straight three year rotation, it was necessary to plant some continuous wheat. Not only did we not have a fallow year to build subsoil moisture, but we really had missed the later summer rains over here. So it was dry. And trust me dusting in wheat at the Gray Havens was not something I was looking forward to again... At least we finally have some decent cover.


The coyotes sure like wheat stubble...

Dusty work...




The next morning I had a pretty cold ride over in the seed truck.

And a long day. At least the 'Cats won.

And how the looked later in the day:

I keep forgetting to ask how they did, since they represent (almost) the worst case scenario for double crop 'beans.
