The gypsy moths are bad this year and have started eating the leaves on my apple trees. Was wondering what insecticide I should be using for controlling them?

I’m finally going to take the plunge and buy a new 2 row no-till corn planter but I’m undecided on what fertilizer attachment to go with. I know that a lot of farmers that put in a lot of corn use liquid fertilizer nowadays but I’ve heard arguments for both applications. I’m looking for advice...

I’m beginning to look at getting a new larger tractor in the 50-60 horsepower range and see that just about all the tractors I look at have R4 tires on them. They are more expensive than R1’s but they aren’t as good IMO in the traction department. Only thing I can think of is the life span is...

Tractor Supply has both ag lime and pulverized on sale now at 3 for $9 which is a pretty stellar deal. Just wanted to give anyone a heads up that was in need of some...

I had this growing in one of my clover plots that I found today while mowing. Wondering what it is, and what can I spray to get rid of it?

I was wondering if anyone does any soil testing at home using a soil test kit? I see you can pick one up pretty reasonably and was thinking about getting one to save some money in the long run. I wasn’t sure how difficult it is to do, or if they are as accurate or dependable as sending it out...

I'm in the market for a rotary tiller and the Country Way tillers from Rural King caught my eye mainly because of the price. I was wondering if anyone had one, or if anybody knew anything about them? There isn't much information on them other than on the Rural King website...

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that was dedicated to posting habitat management related Craigslist adds. I've been on several other forums where they have this and I've found it interesting and helpful for finding great deals on items. So if you find a good deal on something...

I'm going to be putting in a small orchard strictly for whitetail habitat improvement, but wasn't sure about which size tree to go with? I know most go with a full size tree, but wasn't sure if you'd loose anything to a semi dwarf size tree or not? I'm particularly looking at putting in...

I've been in the market for a 2 row corn planter for quite some time now and came across this Yetter 71. http://www.yetterco.com/products/5-71-planter-unit/55-71-planter-unit Has anybody had any experience with this, or know if they are any good? I know they are a copy of the old John Deere 71...

I'm looking to plant roughly a half dozen or so apple trees this year and was looking for the basic information that I need to know in order to grow and maintain a small orchard to increase my whitetail habitat. I've searched this site, and haven't been able to find anything with all the...

I just purchased this 2017 Honda Pioneer 700-2 yesterday. It should help me out a ton with all my hunting/trapping activities. I plan on doing a bunch of mods on it to turn it into the ultimate hunting rig. First mod is going to be switching out the red plastic with the green which the dealer...

I know I'm late to get to plant my brassicas, but when is it too late to plant them when rotating your LC mix from cereal grains to the brassicas? I know you should plant them 60-90 days before a killing frost, or late July, but I didn't seem to find the time to get it done. Am I safe to plant...

Because we've had such a wet summer this year our clover fields are doing really well and could possibly use another mowing. I typically only mow them once in the mid to late summer. I already mowed them in mid June because they were very high, but I wasn't sure when is too late to mow them if...

Here are the soil test results I just got back from one of my new plots that I'm doing this year. My question is; what is my best option for this field? Can I get the PH to where I need it this year, or should I wait until next year so I can give the lime time to work?

Was wondering where everybody goes to have their soil tests done? I was going to go to a local testing laboratory, but wasn't sure if it was better to send it out to somebody that specializes in this type of thing for farming purposes.

I was wondering what time of the year I should be mowing my fields that I have planted in the LC mix? Currently the oats are about 5' tall, but the clover looks like it's doing well underneath.

I just picked up a couple new handguns and was wondering what everybody else had and was using. Here is the one I just got today. A Glock 43.

I was wondering if anybody has seen these planters yet in person? I don't have any Rural King's close to me, or else I would check one out myself. http://www.ruralking.com/seeder-3pt-cat1-60in.html

It's been a tough season for me this year with trying to juggle hunting, work, and a newborn son at home. I haven't got as many chances to get out and sit in the stand as I have in years past, but that's how life works sometimes. So I took off from work for two weeks so I could hopefully put an...
