So the power company stated they've marked the file for their vegetation control personnel. I talked with the tree company who has a contract, they said mark the areas, so I am going to get some signs made up for the future. I have to seed the rest of my fall plots the 2nd week of august...

Thanks for the description Native. Yea the area I have in switch I haven’t had to cut yet but I’ve heard both. I’m definitely not burning under those lines lol. I just wanted to get some opinions if I could manager with mowing and spraying. The powerline is an easement, but yea I’ve talked with...

So I have a large powerline that splits my property. About 6 years ago when I bought the property it was so thick with Cedars, grasses, and saplings. It was great deer loved it and it was a major bed. About 3 years ago the power company came in and cut it, which I figured was coming. Since then...

Thanks for the input...Definitely need to slow that water first priority...We did some work with an excavator last year towards the top of where the water is coming from and made a gully for the water at the top of the field/base of the hill, so its definitely better than it was. Now maybe just...

Interesting...If I broadcast a handful of sorghum at this time of year into mostly bare dirt, do you think it would germinate and help with erosion? I have a bag that I planned on planting in the general area anyway, but if I could broadcast at this time and help get something on the ground, I'd...

Hey fellas, I was at my farm this past weekend seeding some switchgrass. I have a few areas of an old field that has bare dirt and washing through the middle of my field. I planned to establish a thick stand of switch in about 3/4 the 1.5 acre field, but an unsure it will take with how wet the...

I have about a 10 foot wide path on bottom of the field... That is exactly what I am thinking...My only other option is if my Muscanthuis grass isn't enough for the screening will be to plant conifers.

Another thought I had maybe you guy could give your opinion was most of the bucks are going to bed in the woods in my opinion (south slope cut 2 years ago)...the does most likely would lay in the switch close to the food. If noise close to the bed is a concern, maybe I plant the top half in...

And I can use my neighbors pasture for access, very nice people, but I’d prefer to get away from that.

Thanks for the reply...I do not have a hinge cut between the access in the bedding maybe what you seeing is on the south side of my fields are early successional growth and cedars lining the fields...It’s probably 60-70 yds wide below the first field, and about 10 on the second, but the seconds...

It has been a great property, especially for my dad and I to get out and work together. Extremely rewarding, also a learning process. I am planting in the stripped white area on the top of the powerline, well I plan on spraying and reseeding for a thicker stand. The very front two fields are...

The yellow line in the topo photo is a quad/tractor path, not necessarily used for access through the woods in the middle of the farm.

Hey guys I want to get some opinions/thoughts on planting a field of switchgrass. I've owned my farm about 4 years now, and have a good idea how the deer travel. I've work on various projects since I bought the property, some panned out others not so much. I will attach some pictures so you guys...

Thanks for all the information and insight fellas. It definitely helps with so much info out there, and never quite sure which to follow. I am going to work on getting the winter rye and clover in here in the next few weeks. Start from the bottom and try build the economy!

Sorry for the confusion fellas, I am from Pennsylvania first off, my farm where all this habitat work is being done is in southern Ohio, and I work on the road doing construction currently in California. My time off I usually schedule around habitat work and during the project it could be a week...

Thanks for replying Mennoniteman, being somewhat new to the forum I've seen you are knowledgeable with habitat! I'm from Slippery Rock, Pa, and do quite a bit of hunting around home, but bought 111 acre farm in Highland County Ohio 4 years ago. Do you think when I tilled I just turned up a...

Hey guys...so first off I am what you would consider an absentee landowner, being although I have a house and stay on my property, I work on the road 80% of the year currently. In May I got a window to go home where the soil wasn't too wet, with the main plan to get my food plots in. I am...

Thanks for the info...Sagittarius definitely the downfall of multi-variety plots. The reason I tried a few things in this location was it was an extremely thick powerline filled with saplings 2 years prior. The power company cut it and I attempted to spray and plant the first year but due to all...

So I have a few questions, and hopefully I haven't missed a thread where everyone has already answered these questions! First off thank you guys for all the information I have already gathered. I am somewhat new to habitat management being I bought my farm 4 years ago in southern Ohio. With that...
