    Compact Drill

    You can buy the JD "B" drills for cheap lots of times. 40hp would play with with a 12ft Or you can cut them in half and have 2 6ft and sell the other Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Barley

    I *think* barley is more drought tolerant than oats, or at least uses less water. Might be a little more heat tolerant than oats as well. Might want to check out Green Covers to check for sure Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Barley

    Spring Barley is a little more cold tolerant than oats, but will tiller more and faster than oats. Winter barley is less cold tolerant than rye or wheat. Supposedly barley is one of the best plants for kick starting your soil health. I'm going to try growing a little spring barley next year for...

    Implement/Equipment List

    I farm for a living, so I look at things a little differently. You didnt give a dollar amount but assuming you've got a good sized budget, personally I would get a good sized (75+ish hp) tracked skid loader with high flow hydraulics, a/c and heat, then get a late 60s or 70s vintage tractor...

    Blind window help.

    Do you have some pictures? When we built the stand we have we have 3 different styles of windows, flip up, flip down, and sliding side to side. Not overly happy with any of them but something like that sounds like just the ticket.

    Age and scores please

    All these bucks come off 1 camera in my "prime" hunting area. I was real excited about the 5x5 until he was broke off. Pretty happy there looks to be at least 3-4 potential shooters next year. This doesnt count all the smaller bucks around too. Apologize for the quality, have to take pictures...

    Stress and antler strength

    I'm almost embarrassed to add that our only other idea was maybe that because we had plenty of rain all summer, way more than normal, that maybe they ate TOO good. That idea was based on our knowledge that cattle dont gain weight on the soft tender green grass, it mostly goes right through...

    Stress and antler strength

    I know they can really go at it, just odd weve seen so many broken main beams in the same year. That's why we got to wondering, if it was just one or smaller bucks it wouldnt have been as odd. It takes alot to break a good sized main beam like that. I know of at least 3 other bucks that are...

    Stress and antler strength

    Got a question for the experts, both my buddy and me have pictures of the biggest most mature bucks in their area, but both have broken a main beam clear off. Also both have broken quite awhile after velvet shed. Plus we both have smaller bucks that have broken mains as well Both these bucks...

    Rainfall app similar to FarmLogs

    Longleaf, what all can you do on the Agrible app? I liked being able to see how much rain my fields got, but don't feel like I should have to pay that much for what little I do use

    Rainfall app similar to FarmLogs

    Pretty upset with Farmlogs, I used the free version and I liked it, I gave the info I really needed in a fairly easy to use app. They asked for my opinon on the next level up that had a lot of marketing and a few other features, I liked most of the things and had some things for them to work on...

    Alfalfa for beginners

    The only real good way to keep it from getting stemmy is to keep cutting it. IIRC the optimum time for hay production is every 21-30 days depending on if you want quality or quantity. There are some grazing alfalfas but I don't know any of them, just that they exist. The rule of thumb here is to...

    Local Feed Stores.... Dang it

    Theres good farmland that goes for $10k/acre around here, then theres pasture that brings $2k, and then the nutjobs that spend $5k/acre for swamp along the river, theres a piece my buddys uncle sold probably 10 years ago for that to some big shot out of Omaha, had a 1 room cabin on it, and the...

    stupid question....

    buckdeer1 has it right, with a ROPS wearing the seatbelt is better, without the ROPS its better to not wear it. The thought is that if the tractor rolls over with the ROPS the seatbelt keeps you in place and lets the ROPS do its job. Without the ROPS you have a much better chance of being...
