Buffer strips

Quentin had a couple buffer strips planted this year.  The field edges, particularly by the creek's tree line are unproductive for field crops.  Instead, the idea is to plant 20-40' of grass buffer by the field edge.  That way, we are not wasting fertilizer and seed on acres that consistently do not produce good corn or beans.  We are trying strips in two fields, one on Kenneth's and one on a field of Paul's.
