Wheat planting pics

Photobucket ........... Photobucket ......... Photobucket .......... Photobucket .......... Photobucket I used my International 5100 20 run 8 inch drill I also have a chery 510 International 16 run 8 inch that is also in cherry condition I am going to buy a tandem drill hitch and pull them in a pair to speed up drilling time that old 930 will hand the pair of them in 2nd gear without sweating. I drilled that Triumph 64 in deep as it was dry and still is. The wheat is up and holding its own though we need rain soon. The old varieties like this Truimph 64 are much hardier than these new varieties it can also be planted deep unlike many of these new varieties which is a major weak point for them. Praying for rain now my late planted wheat has not had the chance to get much growth on it and here it is nearing the end of January. The spring dose of fertilizer needs to be applied around the end of Feb or into March depending on weather I sure would like to see it get some growth on it before I fertlize it.
