    Killing/Thinning Warm Season Native Grass

    When I bought my place, there was about 25 acres of long time used fescue cow pasture. But, besides the fescue - especially in the areas of severe use, there was a variety of native forbs - milkweeds, various “sunflowers”, native prairie flowers, etc. I went after the fescue - spraying it in...

    CWD - Your Experience

    I live in AR where CWD was first detected about three years ago. I do not live in the cwd zone. Our state allowed one more doe to be killed and did away with antler restrictions in an effort to lower deer density - allong with suspending supplemental feeding. For those of you who live in the...

    I just bought 40 acres that was clearcut in the late 1990's. It was not replanted. It has a decent site index. Majority of trees that now exist are stump spouted red oak, some loblolly pine, and some cedar. Probably at least 50% of the oak is stump sprouts - three to seven inches in...

    Winter Rye Useage?

    Winter Rye for Throw and Mow?

    I used to plant a lot of rye years ago when I worked for the Feds, but havent planted it on my own place. I read about a lot of guys seeding into their WR and then mowing for their TNM plots. I plant wheat, now. But no way is there any standing wheat left from the previous year to seed into. The...

After seeding and bush hogging the plot - there were areas almost devoid of duff and some areas it was so thick I dont believe anything will...

    Arrowleaf Type?

    I cleared an area for a food plot five years ago and arrowleaf clover came in volunteer. Is there any way to determine the variety of that arrowleaf. It is still going strong, so it obviously likes my ground and I would like to stay with that variety.

    Throw and Mow Candidate?

    This is a two acre food plot in the bottoms. Decent dirt. I usually bush hog, disk, spread wheat, drag, and then top seed with a white clover. The current crop of clover is a decent stand of Durana. Pic was taken 7/23 and still growing. Chances are it will get hot and dry here in AR before end...

    Native Warm Season Grasses?

    I have some pasture on my place that had been heavily grazed before I bought it. Fescue was well established. I have what is called a blackland soil type. Calcareous soil, high in lime. Natural pH is 7.5. Grasses do great. Composites, too. About the only trees that do well are persimmon...
