Planting 13 acres of beans on the 19th of may. Renting a great plains 706 NT from the local county extension. Time is a small issue so wondering if my 2 ideas are stupid or safe. #1) i am broadcasting 3 bags per acre of 0-20-20. Since there is no nitrogen can i do this a week ahead of time...

What are some recommendations for the companion/nurse crops ratios? feel free to critic my plan, I will be applying: 5lbs/acre durana 70 lbs/acre Oats 10 lbs/acre crimson clover. I am trying to keep it simple and give the durana the best conditions to get established in its first year.

why wear a seat belt on a tractor? I have a narrow front JD 3020 with a roll bar. I never drive fast, probably max speed of 8-10 mph. my farm is however quite "hilly". speed is the leading cause of death in automobile and tractor accidents but driving a car vs. a tractor is a different ball...

Instead of collecting the scion wood and storing in fridge can I go into the field and simply collect it on the same day I am planning on grafting? It's a native female persimmon that I know of grafted to we'll positioned root stock currently growing. The root stock is between 1-2 inches...

I've had a .5 acre plot left un kept for 2 years. Suprisingly it never got too far out of hand. No trees began to grow, no black berry, dog fennel etc. Just grass. So this spring I nuked it for a throw an mow. Some areas turned jet black and never allowed anything sorghum to grow. 4...

Native hunters thread got me thinking......With highs in the mid 80's and plenty of rain forcasted for the next 2 weeks anyone moving up their brassica plantings on the calender? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Planted the following in September... 1/3 crimson, arrowleaf, ladino with heavy dose of oats. Crimson is gone, arrowleaf is about gone, and the ladino is doing great. The oats did their job as well, the herd has eaten every seed head available and the oats are "melting" away. The weeds...

In regards to adding chicory to the clover portion.......is their any major problem other than the chicory being killed when using a broad leaf selective herbicide?

From a hunting perspective only do your orchards meet your expectations? Do they attract deer? Help feed the herd? Present you with kill shots? Are you frustrated at all with some of your choices? Varity? Apples, pears, persimmons, etc? Are they difficult to hunt from an elevated stand...

Throw and mow seems to be the only true no till planting method. Drills and row planters obviously create minimal soil disturbance. But what about some of these food plotting implements? When the discs are set with minimal angles. Can we call that no-till? What about "light discing" grains...

I have asked alot of questions....and yall have been so helpful. I have spent the last 2 weeks reading through all of the LC threads. Regarding the cereal grain portion.....here is the summarized portion of the LC mix (i left of the red clover and radish part off on purpose) Cereal Grain...

If I were to purchase one would yall recommend a tow behind or one that hooks to three point? Seems to me the three point wouldn't be able to "lean" with the rolling hills I have also seems like it would cantilever up and down when the tractor clears water bars, small concavities, and other...

It's a goal of mine to plant persimmons at my place. Quick question. The bare root trees are 2$ a peice here. They are obviously not known as male or female yet. When yall plant persimmons are you leaving them as roughly 50/50 in the field? Or are you grafting them all to female? If you...

I'm thinking about hitting my Clover plots with a broadleaf selective herbicide this weekend. I've got plenty of plantain and so thistle rosettes, is it too early? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

These three samples were taken from the same field. The field is 3 acres and each sample was taken on one acre of the plot. First off, if anyone has any recommendations in general based on what you see please let me know. I am going to continue to work on the pH and low Phosphorus...

Chance exists i will be attempting to place my farm into a conservation easement. Due to some particularly specific features of my land, this could be a significantly lucrative move for me. i wont get into the specifics, but it will be hard to turn down. i am taking this very seriously. Both...

Planted beans and peas this summer. It was grazed to nothing by late august. I followed with oats. I never added nitrogen. So how long does nitrogen from the legumes last to supply the oats? They are serving more as a cover crop than a food plot. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using...
