I don't do other social media besides a few outdoor forums but feel this message might help someone on here perhaps. I recently had the opportunity to try and get my mom into a nursing home. What I found out is that one has to have 4 covid shots in order to qualify to get in or have a 7 day...

I've noticed the past couple years when I have spot sprayed 24d in my bean fields that the beans were set back but then came out well after a couple weeks. They were over sprayed heavily when I targeted the marestail and waterhemp growing in them. Some were hit lightly but some took a bath., the...

Just a quick report on pears.. One of my Kieffer pear trees is still loaded with an equal amount on the ground. The ones are the ground are half eaten. Not sure why they don't finish them. I watched some does/fawns and one buck eating them off the ground last Thursday. Good to see them...

I received the plan for a 4 row shrub plan using elderberry and plum as the shrubs. I told the nrcs that I would like 2 rows of plum and 2 rows of elderberry when adding to my crp plan. The lady sent me the plan today and she divided the shrub rows by the north half is plum and south is...

Just passing along some info a farmer friend of mine told me this weekend. " I may want to buy my glyphosate now as his agronomist told him they didn't know if glyphosate would be available next spring" Don't know the whole story behind the reason but perhaps there may be some truth in it. I...

I am planting 1450 trees and shrubs next week in a crp project. The nrcs office gave me instructions that I had to rototill the rows for planting to make a better planting bed. I rented one and tilled last November. In my opinion one can't get it deep enough to what it should be for best...

Here are the vets who rifle hunted my farm and my folk's farm this year. They had a great hunt with lots of deer seen and choices to make. The second pic is of our neighbor's pup who took a liking to the two vets and spent a morning helping look for deer. They said Sophie didn't impact the hunt...

I've been spraying sericea lespedeza the last few days and am amazed at the number of deer beds I found in there. I do this every year and this year was exponentially more than last year. The plots are 2.3 and 1.7 acres. They started out as mono cir switch ten years ago, 4 years after planting I...

I dipped my toes into the sawtooth oak seedling mix last week. After planting a pile of acorns LLC gave me (thanks again LLC) I got to thinking I wanted to plant a few seedling sawtooths to compare growth between the two. I ordered 15 sawtooth seedling from Native nursery. The came last Thursday...

Anybody have any knowledge on these. Our state forester put out an email educating us about them and I watched the videos he attached. I got em thick. I'm not sure what they will do to my fruit trees on the farm but almost every cedar I look at has a load of bag worm shelters attached to many...

I saw this buck twice during season. Both times to far away with cbow. My range is 40 yards and he was at 70 once and 100 another. He was shot on opening morning of rifle on the neighbor's, about 300 yards from where my first time buck hunting cousin was sitting. At least the buck got to...

I have 13 acres of ag that is currently half farmed and half crp. The crp expires in a year and I have an opportunity to enroll it again but along with the half that is currently farmed. My idea is to plant 4 acres to timber and the rest into warm season grasses(bbstem, little bs, indian, and...

This one is 4.5 I'm sure. Pulled this card today after a hunt. The stand I was in is 20 yards behind the pear tree and the cam was 10 yards on this side of the pear tree. I saw him this afternoon but he was 85 yards. My dad is coming to hunt next week and hopefully he gets a crack at him. If...

My friend planted rye last fall and is going to let it go to seed. He asked me if he could just mow it down in August and it would reseed itself. I said it might but I would heavily overseed rye over the standing dead rye and then mow it down and hope for rain. Is that a good plan? He just...

I ordered 700 red cedar and 50 swamp white oak, and 750 various shrubs from them for this spring. They have always been great to work with and the product I have received from them has been of very good quality. This year all was the same except the red cedars were poorly packed on top of...
