    Quick solution needed

    We have 200 acres of fallow farm in SW Bracken County, KY. My sons decided to clear a disused pasture for a campsite. It had a lot of poison ivy in it, so they sprayed gly back in the spring. The results were good-- too good. Nothing has grown back. Is there something we could throw...

    Jeff Sturgis

    Look, I don't want to sound like I'm bashing Jeff Sturgis and WHS. It's probably just me. I made a point this winter to hit his Youtube channel on a regular basis and make a studied effort to really try to grok what this guy has to say. My head was swimming when I started, and it still is...

    Another Fawn Recruitment Thread

    I had one of the doe bring her new fawn up into the yard yesterday, and the security camera caught it. If you're interested, I have a link to a video here: Momma, I want to Swing! My guess is she's learned it is safe to stay close to the house. She normally beds just across the road in...

    Eastern Red Cedar Thickets

    I've got 200 acres in Bracken County, KY. The big thing on our place is Eastern Red Cedar. If you don't know about it, it's an incredible tree. It seems to grow in the dead of winter. I just got back from my first trip down in 2018. There are hundreds of cedar trees pushing up through the...

    Soil Improvement

    I have a question for y'all regarding soil restoration. I've got a few 1/4 - 1 acre plots on my farm that the previous owners used for tobacco. They're pretty well spent. One even has a patch of sandy soil where nothing has grown for 17 years. Things are pretty well played out on these...
