Merry Christmas to all and God Bless! He is the reason for the season!

If you keep testing for something long enough, you’re going to prove it’s there. My belief is that it’s been here for a very long time but we haven’t been testing for it until recently.

RGrizzzz…Have you used the Hooyman spreader yet? If so, could you give pros and cons? I’m in the market for a new spreader to broadcast clover seed and it looks like the shoulder harness would be a welcomed addition so it doesn‘t eat into the shoulder.

With a cold and wet May I got a late start. I sprayed gly at 2 quarts per acre 2 weeks ago and most of the plots were dry enough to plant this past Friday on the 26th. I know this is later than most have planted but the weather never got right to plant any earlier. I went ahead and planted at...

Since you’ve been in a drought for so long I would think you could get a farmer to bale it for hay. Then You could spray it with gly a week after removal and then could at least get seed to soil contact. Broadcast buckwheat just before a rain and plant something this fall and not have the...

Will do. I just got back from picking up the seed this morning.

That’s got to be a costly mistake on there end. I hope you documented all the planted trees that you lost and get reimbursed for your time and labor. At least you didn’t lose any buildings.

I read his thread and I looks like he had success on 3.5 acres, so I’m going to give it a try. Worst case is they won’t make it any better than they did before.

I found a source for a forage type roundup ready bean and was going to use those For reasons stated above.

I don’t want to go the e-fence route due to I don’t live on the farm I hunt and I have bears to deal with also, so corn is probably out as well. I thought about planting a mix like you say and have found a source for that same mix with millet added to it for $56 a bag which will plant an acre...

One is 2 acres and the other is 3 acres. I could plant three 1 acre plots but I know they wouldn’t have a chance to do much.

I have drilled soybeans before at 50 pds acre and they only get 6”-8” tall with a few pods. I‘m thinking of planting at a rate of 75-100 pds acre. Will a higher rate be worth it with high deer density area? Looking for pod production.

Mineral deficiency?

I’ve been looking at those soybeans. Could you give a little more detail in your results? Efence, broadcast, drilled, pod holding into winter, etc.?

Even though I started this as a planting season thread, feel free to discuss any habitat plans as well.
