    Rattlesnake hunt?

    I kind of want to take the oldest boy on a rattlesnake hunt. I think it would be fun and a dried skin or two with rattles would be cool. I know OK and TX have annual celebrations, but since I don't have permission to land and expertise I was thinking a guided hunt would be fun. Anyone know of...

    E-fencing cereal grains?

    Any of you guys fence off a section of your rye or wheat to open up midwinter? I've often wondered if a patch that hadn't been eaten short already would be preferred this time of yr...

    Tapatalk not uploading pics?

    It tells me I've reached my max uploads for the month. Two things; I've posted a bunch of pics before and never got this message, and it's the 2nd day of the month... I haven't posted a whole lot those in 2 days. Anyone know what's going on? I wouldn't be surprised if tapatalk did have a...

    Armslist and Gunbroker?

    I'm in the market for a gun... I always like to hold and possibly shoot guns before I buy them, but I'm having trouble finding this particular one locally. Never bought off of Gunbroker or Armslist before but I might have to this time. Any hints or info I should know? It spooks me to order...

    Favorite Perennial Plot?

    Zone 6a. Favorite clover variety, alfalfa, chicory, etc? If you could plant anything you wanted (and needed it to stay a few years) what would you pick? My Ladino clover/chicory in the orchard is getting weak, it's time to replace it this fall.

    What brassica's?

    I'm getting ready to order some of the new "smart radish", and figure I might as well make an order out of it. Is there anything you guys would recommend planting with it; kale, cabbage, mustard, rape, chicory, etc.? Don't suggest turnips as I have planted them for yrs without as much as a...

    Lawn mower opinions?

    Alright men, I need a new mower. Strongly considering a zero turn. I doubt I will pony up the cash for a Commercial grade but I'm looking at pretty decent brands: Hustler, Grasshopper, Bad Boy, etc. Anyone have anything to say about mowers in general, zero turns, or certain brands? My yard...

    What the hell?!?!

    Walking by a persimmon tree and noticed something odd. Stopped for a look and found these giant caterpillars all over it. Monsters from hell to me. They are doing a great job of converting leaves into fertilizer pellets...

    Persimmon and deer browse?

    I'm getting ready to plant persimmon. Do deer browse them, or are they safe to leave uncaged? I will of window screen them, but I didn't know if they are something deer like (like apple or pear trees) or if they cool on their own?

    Bareroot trees into Rootmakers?

    Any value to the idea of planting 1yr old bareroot seedlings into Rootmakers for a yr. I figure it gives me the chance to baby them for a summer and then plant them in the fall. Planting from Rootmakers seems to be pretty stress free to plants. Any chance it's going to help alleviate the yrs...

    Multiple sprayings for resistant weeds?

    I have some horseweed or marestail started in my plots and pastures. Burndown with gly got most of it but about 20% of them woke back up and are doing fine now. They are past the rosette stage and bolting. I want them dead before setting seed. I know spraying once won't kill them, but what...

    Teaching deer to eat invasives?

    Cattlemen for a long time have been teaching cattle to eat weeds such as Thistles and Sericea Lespedeza by either spraying a thinned down solution of molasses on them or mob type grazing. Once they try it they find that it's good and then they target it. A few weeks ago I sprayed my...
