When I first moved to farm in Wisconsin, I had a terrible time with Quack Grass in my soy beans. It really hit my yield bad. So the next season I was discussing it with the neighbor farmers at pancake breakfast and they explained to me that if I did all my sub-soiling, and tilling at nights when the sun wasn't up I would halt the division of the roots. So for that whole month I did all my work at nights in the fields.
Little did I know all my farmer neighbors were watching my tractor lights and laughing their butts off. As my seedings emerged, the Quack grass again outpaced the crops. I then realized I was being the new source of entertainment.
After that I just gave in to Monsanto and used roundup ready seed. Then I plotted my revenge on a bunch of 80 year old men who got me good!

Us new farmers give the neighbors lots of laughs. Had a neighbor call me to tell me my Bred turkeys (Royal Palms) were in his back yard heading for the woods....I ran over to his place and found a good size stick on the way. Funny, the turkeys saw me coming and I had to get in front of them and switch them down his drive way and they headed home. Gobbling at each other all the way....just 4, 1 gander and 3 geese...thats when my neighbor smiled at me and said he and his wife found us quite entertaining. I had to laugh, probably others felt the same way....
