If you had electric at your barn, would you have kept it? I’ve heard several people say that the controllers go out often?

Is your camera a white flash? What’s the plan going forward, remove, move or buy a different type camera? Could always run it in daylight only if the flash is bothering him.

Merry Christmas to all and God Bless! He is the reason for the season!

If you keep testing for something long enough, you’re going to prove it’s there. My belief is that it’s been here for a very long time but we haven’t been testing for it until recently.

RGrizzzz…Have you used the Hooyman spreader yet? If so, could you give pros and cons? I’m in the market for a new spreader to broadcast clover seed and it looks like the shoulder harness would be a welcomed addition so it doesn‘t eat into the shoulder.

One is 2 acres and the other is 3 acres. I could plant three 1 acre plots but I know they wouldn’t have a chance to do much.

I have drilled soybeans before at 50 pds acre and they only get 6”-8” tall with a few pods. I‘m thinking of planting at a rate of 75-100 pds acre. Will a higher rate be worth it with high deer density area? Looking for pod production.

Mineral deficiency?
