Sorry for your loss, George.

Looks like you are getting some more good rain today. I’m jealous - we are in drought in SC coming into summer. Ugh.

Definitely the boonies, but Billings is about 1 hr 15 minutes away on an easy highway drive. The fishing on this part of the Yellowstone is catfish, pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass. Too warm (and the river is big!) for trout.

Forsyth is the closest town.

Thanks, yall. It’s pretty exciting. I may have lost my mind, but my ultimate goal is to live out west, and I’m worried about what land is going to cost in 20 years. Seemed like a good idea to buy while I could.

Well, I bought a farm in Montana. The long term plan is to live there for at least half the year and farm it myself. The short term plan is to enjoy it as much as I can (from South Carolina) and prepare for the future. Retirement is about 20 years away. It’s about 157 acres. 90 acres is...

I got the farm and am now the proud owner of 157 acres along the Yellowstone River in Montana. It’s a little different than what I’m used to in South Carolina.

I did not get the farm, so the search continues!

Does anyone here have experience managing a property in zone 4a? I’m looking at a farm in Montana, and the habitat wheels in my head are turning. I’m most interested in mast/fruit trees and screening trees.

You’d be shocked at how much residual herbicides can help. As long as you calibrate your sprayer, spray accurately, and follow label instructions, they are nothing to be afraid of.

I would do a burn down with glyphosate then spray a residual like Dual II Magnum (https://www.syngenta-us.com/herbicides/dual-ii-magnum#:~:text=With%20long%2Dlasting%20control%20of,a%20variety%20of%20other%20crops.) That should give your Milo enough time to out compete Johnson grass.

That would kill the sorghum. It’s a grass (just like corn).

Beautiful. We are in a burn ban in SC - once it’s lifted, I’ve got 100 acres to burn this year.
