    Direct Seeding Acorns

    Makes sense, natural prairie oak savanna. Young bur oak, even 4-5' tall, develop the classic thick cork insulating bark. This protects bur oak from periodic prairie fires that would kill most other oaks.

    Clover spray and fertilizer question

    For weeds, yes, just mow them now. Spray first, some dust may inhibit herbicide effectiveness. Until spray is dry, or 1 hr. Ed Spinnazolla (sp) was well known for adding nitrogen to clover plots 2 weeks before bow season to sweeten up the plot and increase palatablility/attractiveness. N is...

    Apple tree question

    Enterprise, Gold Rush, Northwestern Greening, these are both late maturing (for hunting season) and later pollinating to minimize spring frost kills. Then you can never go wrong with Chestnut or Whitney crabapples for pollination, low maintenance, early season drop. The smaller the tree size...

    CWD detected in NC

    Keep in mind, deer are not the only vector for spreading CWD. Predators feeding on CWD infected carcasses. Hawks, eagles, and vultures can feed on a infected carcass and migrate hundreds of miles away spreading CWD.

    Any tee-jet nozzle gurus? Chart question

    You need to be able to adjust your boom height for what you are spraying. 110 degree nozzles are designed for 20" spacing at a 20" height above plants being sprayed. If you are spraying 6" weeds, your boom is at 26" height with 110 degree nozzles.

    This is why you use inoculant

    https://www.ilsoyadvisor.com/on-farm/ilsoyadvisor/nitrogen-soybeans-here-what-we-know-0 Soybeans produce only about 50% of the nitrogen they need from the nodules, with the rest coming from the soil. Soybean crops’ large nitrogen needs require accumulation of between 4 and 5 lbs. of N per acre...

    This is why you use inoculant

    That over simplification is not really accurate. Soybeans and any other legume will use nitrogen in the soil just like any other green plant. While it is always good to use inoculates, legumes can be totally healthy with out it. Legumes can tap into the N in the nodules in times of stress...

    This Should Be Interesting

    2 qt/acre = 64 oz/acre = 16 oz per 1/4acre = 8 gal of 2oz/gal on 1/4acre = 16 gal of 1oz/gal on 1/4acre.

    Vizsla lessons learned the hard way

    Dad had a female, he got from Arizona. One of the parents was direct from Austria. She was taller than even some of the males I've seen the last few years.

    Vizsla lessons learned the hard way

    Dad had a Visla, great dog. Everything above is exactly right. They seem to be breeding to a smaller size in US, or is that just my observation?

    East Central Ohio shrub (pink red)

    Deer browse on my burning bushes in the winter, even up against the house, but leave them alone the rest of the year. Rabbits hit them hard some winters when the bunny populations are up. Up here never found Burning bush to be invasive at all, or barberry for that matter.

    Maximizing Acorn Production

    I wish deer ate buckthorn. Then there would be more sunlight for the oak seedlings. ;)

    Thunder Crop Rotations

    Planting interval: Different soils, different amount of organic matter, time northern soils remain frozen, or soil temperatures prevent break down of herbicide????

    Late summer spraying of Broadleafs in Clover/Chicory plots

    If your weeds are less than 3", spray; if not, mow and wait until spring. The weeds need to be young and 3" or less to get a good kill. Spray rate is only 4 oz/acre for the chicory, and up to 6 oz/acre for alfalfa/clover. Keep in mind future plot rotation intervals. Following a Raptor...

    Trailcam Launchpad.

    Not sure what bird that actually is, but it is catching and eating bugs. That would be a good thing. Maybe put up more posts so it will use the trail cam less .... but you want more birds like that around. ;)

    Broadleaf control in Sugar Beets

    You can use "Stinger" (clopyralid), but you have to spray the weeds when they are small. Works better on some weeds than others. Great for eliminating legumes, but pay attention to rotation interval: no planting legumes for 10.5 months, no squash(pumpkins) for 18 months...
