Is it common for farmers to run a rock picker after the crop is up? He has been at it for two days on the same 360 acres.

It may depend on how rocky the field is. 360 acres is a huge chunk of land for the East coast. If it was on the East coast , it would be worth 2-3 million dollars.
wanna be goat farmer.

360 is a small chunk of land here. The guy farms 13,000 acres

There are plenty of rocks there. Some spots would make a good gravel pit. I think he would have been money ahead to do it in the fall last year. Maybe one of hired guys made him mad. There are some rocks in that field that are bigger than the rock picker. I am sure he could not move them with what he had.

Some of these rocks were pushed up 20 years ago. Its not like he is out there every year Picking rock and he puts a very small dent in them when he is there. There are areas you can not step with out stepping on a rock, golf ball to football size. I just never seen any one run a mechanical picker in a wheat field when the crop is 4" tall
