My habitat project for the spring is to do a little discing in some grass stands that have gotten too dense. I want to set the grass back a bit and encourage forb growth so that it's better nesting and brood-rearing habitat.
Discing is not the only tool for this, but it's the one I want to use. The ground is not enrolled in any conservation program of any kind; the CRP contract expired several years ago.
I'm having a difficult time finding a tractor and disc--specifically a disc--to rent. Lots of rental yards have tractors, many have roto-tillers, box blades, etc., but I've found none that have discs. From past experience roto-tillers don't work well in crp grass. The grass just wraps around the shaft.
It's a 4+ hour round trip just to set foot on the ground, so I'm hoping for a one-trip solution. Who should I call in our around Wichita that would have a tractor and disc I can rent?
