Yeah, I would say, you know, the 160 block, because what the difference is, is that a lot of our country is intersected with county roads a mile apart. And so you're either, like most of them are going to be 320, you know, half of the section, and because it, and there's different,

owners lands kind of scattered around so you just can't block out one you know so some is rented some of your own you whatever and so it's just kind of morphed we'll have our longest strip is is two and a half miles long man two and a half miles yeah yeah and you better hope you don't pull in the wrong driveway with the truck yes it happens yes that's why they beep you when you get to the headlands yeah the alarm goes off tells you to grab the steering wheel again it does

But what that does add is then when you're filling out FAA maps or federal crop maps, there's 135 fields. So you end up, you know, doing a little bit of paperwork.

That area was noted for farming half the land and the other half would lie fallow because they had no other way to control weeds and moisture. You always conserve enough moisture so there will be enough to grow that next crop. So summer fallow is what we call it came into effect. And that was plowed. Well, we were actually... not knowing they had no other alternative is mine the soil.

Because you were mining the organic matter in there because you couldn't help but plow it. Anytime you introduce oxygen into the soil, it's going to continue to break down. Well, the land was getting just harder to farm, cloddy. It just wasn't accepting water as well. So in 1997, I made the decision, and it was 100% no-till.

You had to adjust the equipment to start tilling in that kind of a ground, but the equipment had come about then. And so since 1997, we have done very little tillage. And so we want to manage the residues out there, and actually our farmland has really improved since that.

Yeah, we have to manage our inputs via our resources. Our resource is water. Yep. And so we look at our yield and whatever, and we can put enough N down with the seed. We'll hit those years when everything goes well and you should go out there and top dress for that. But we consider our farming very simpler than the West.
