My main dove field has been in Clearfield sunflowers for 5 out of last 6 years. I’ve been thinking of splitting the field in two and rotating sunflowers and something else. I’ve done corn, not that big a fan. I’ve had good and bad results with Proso (white) millet in other fields. Had a great...

Ready to purchase a few drip torches to add to my habitat improvement arsenal. Any one better than the others I should look at or are they pretty much all similar?

I have a manual controller on my 3 section boom sprayer that’s going out that I need to replace. Never been a fan of it but what other options are there? I’ve seen some raven stuff but I’m still learning about sprayers and any advice or direction would be appreciated. This is the one I have now:

So I'm finally going to do this online journal thing since I see how it would be a nice reminder to come back and look at the progress you make throughout all the projects we are going to do. Where to start??? When I moved from South Texas to Northern Virginia 13 years ago I was blown away by...

Just finished up two full days with Matt Dye on the farm and man what an abundance of information to take in. Whew I’m going to be digesting everything we spoke about for quite some time. I’m very exciting to get working on some serious projects over the next few years, going to be a fun ride...

After listening to the Land and Legacy podcast for a few weeks I started looking at all the cedars on our property funny. Well I’d had enough and started cutting today. I’ll burn this spot next Spring after putting in some fire breaks on two sides. It was a lot of fun but man it feels like work...

Read a thread on Facebook about some cheaper guidance options for the tractor/UTV for spraying, planting with no till drill and possibly fertilizer cart. Anyone have any systems they would recommend that isn’t row crop farming expensive? I have a foamer in the sprayer but GPS guidance would be...

My buddies and I have been discussing hiring an independent whitetail deer land consultant to come and walk my farm. I’m thinking about making a lot of changes to the farm in the near future e.g. enrolling some fields into CRP, putting some fallow fields back into cultivation, more food plots...

So this was the first year we planted true summer food plots. Not just relying on our ag fields, we planted a LabLab, Iron Clay Pea and sunflower mix in some food plots around the farm. The deer have been hammering them and they look so good it hard to imagine terminating them but they won’t...

Shaping up to be a good one this Fall.

Been MIA for quite sometime. Hope everyone is ready for a great Fall. The freaks come out at night...

These are the only photos I have of this buck after the 2015 season closed. Never had any before these and this camera is smack dab in the middle of our property. 2015 Out of the blue I get these photos a few weeks ago. Crazy how they can disappear like this and reappear for no good...

I cannot find the video on Youtube. Habitat guy from old site had a great video of his mix for spraying Clearfield sunflower. Need to spray this week. He did Raptor, Cleth, Pymethrine and a few other things just cannot remember. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks.

Not mine but saw it while surfing recently. These are made by Haybuster I do believe which are good drills. https://huntington.craigslist.org/grd/6041642697.html

I've never bought seed from NWTF and when I just went to their website I can see seed blends to purchase under the Seed Subsidy Program but nothing when I click through the Conservation Seed Program (which appears to be where they sale last seasons RR corn). Any ideas or am I too late?

Started putting seed in the ground today for Fall. 2 plots down another 21 to go. This is a modified LC mix with a 4 acre corn screen.

Even with these higher than usual temperatures we are having, Fall is right around the corner. With seed hitting the ground, stands going up and dove season about the begin there is no denying what is about to transpire in the woods. To say I'm getting antsy is an understatement. The Crossover...

I know it's late in the game for sunflowers but we need a new "how to" thread for sunflowers. I learned a lot on Smallplots (if I remember correctly) QDMA threads about sunflowers and clearfield sunflowers. Mine are doing well this year thanks to his YouTube videos.

Heading out of town next week so pulled a couple cards before I leave. Might have one or two more to check but won't touch a camera for a while. I hope this guy grows for a couple more years, nice young buck. Another buck that appears younger than others. This guy appears to be shorter...

Some recent photos from around the farm. Cannot place him but sure is a pretty clean 8pt. Squiggles has finally started showing his face around the farm more. Mr. P is still going strong. Neighbor next door sent me over this photo yesterday, another stud running around.
