I'm glad to hear you liked the way the Curvetine was working. They are very valuable in a year such as this with wet planting conditions in many places. How did the planting into the strips go, other than the rocks?

If I had know how fast everything was going to dry out I probably wouldn't have laid any strips. We had 86 degree temps and winds of about 15 mph for 20 hours before I could get back on them and get them planted and I felt the soil profile was too dry in places. Our planter tractor is our strip-till tractor so it makes everything difficult to time. With those temps and wind I think 4hrs ahead of planter would have been a lot better but that means we would need another big tractor. Were getting some rain now so hopefully everything works out.
