yep, the high ridge at the edge of the field where it meets the grass erosion control area can cause the whole thing to work against you instead of for you. mine was caused by years of disc turn out building up. I did exactly what you are doing here then used a blade to move the dirt a ways back into the field. "Repairing Soil Erosion" was the video about a week ago showing cousin Scott using the blade to move the dirt back into the field. Farming and maintaining the land proper is more than just planting and harvesting. Good use of your time to make this repair.
Don;t have to worry much about water erosion ,,,,,Strip till ---- 5 years of crop residue in various stages of decomposition...that the water has to pass through....After the hurricane a lot of peanut vines had floated toward the ditch, but the soil never moved.
That is all you have to say? Did you comprehend what I was saying? I didn't know you had to have an English major to comment....Strip- till is only disturbing a strip in the crop residue to plant in....No chisels, no moldboard plows or disc .. How many earthworms will stay in soil that is disturbed 2 maybe three times a year
I'm surprised to see anyone outside of "Dinky Field New England" still has a 2 or 3 bottom plow. It just goes to show that somethings don't die, they just go into Long Term Hibernation.
I have two waterways on my land. One was maintained, the other the previous owners let go to trees. It's costing me every year because the field on that side keeps erroding as the tree roots hold the soil. It's going to be a big project we start next year.
Nice video , it looks rich loam land you are farming , Merica the place to be , I am sure ye also have a bigger plough than that one . Another tractor?
Just trying to be helpful, since you yourself admit you are first generation farmers. Contact your local NRCS office for assistance in maintaining waterways. They have the dimensions of the original water ways platted. They might reimburse you for some of the maintenance work on the water way too. Worth a try and I know you like to make every dollar count. Very interesting history too between Farmers and waterways, time release structures, etc.... fun to learn more about if you are interested.
What is the model number of the 3 bottom plow?

UPDATE.if u plough what is left to the left on both sides as deep as possible would u create a decent drainage channel?

Hi did reworking the waterway accomplish what you set out to do with it?
Older style plow?

David that is great advice. Here in NC the Dept. of soil and water conservation has been a great assistance to me.
+David Harris we tried reaching out to them, but they didn't have any money to help out.
I like the way you do your your videos a little better than your husband ,I like his also but you're a little better.
