Keep us updated. I have about 10 acres of autumn olive that has gone mad. I wish my neighbor had a mulcher! It was cleared for an ag field a couple of years ago that was quickly abandoned due to rocky ground.....and hindsight suggests I should have been diligent with spraying the resprouts...

was the 20 acres used for bedding? will you replant or just kill off the autumn olive as it comes back?

What's the plan for the other 4.5 acres of the meadow?

+100 for the rye before rain even if it feels late. +1 herd ATV seeder. I don't love the rack mount.... do you have the hitch mount?

Great history! Nice work

With my OH buck season coming to an end I have all sorts of time to second guess changing anything! Fun hunt! Came in on a string to a single grunt call.

Updated image and plan: I planted about an acre with 40+ fruit trees this spring in the now labeled 2ac orchard. I'm leaning towards expanding that 1acre orchard to be the 2 acres shown with clover/rye/chicory and become the destination plot. Parking is now labeled in NE corner of property...

You can never overpay for land! (You just bought it early at future pricing :)

How did you decide where in Montana to consider purchase?

Amazing. Do you keep your persimmon orchard separate from other soft mass? Soft mass from hard?

Nice. How many chestnut trees on the property? Would you prefer more?

Amazing. What’s the distance to blind?

Does your desire to hunt deer outweigh your desire to cut back on the maintenance? I think it could hurt your deer hunting as the herd patterns will change next year and every year the crops are rotated. Is the best bedding nearby enough to the crop that you can predict their bed to food...

Great breakdown! Starting to lean hard this direction. I love the berm idea. Gotta do something with the dirt anyhow! Lots to learn!

Any update gjs4? Planting this spring? I too have about 12 acres of mostly invasives on strip mined "soil" that needs some rehab.
