Well ....while it's cool and low humidity I am trying to knock out all those things that need/want to be done on the farm ...so the corn is up knee high (had to replant) and sprayed last week ...and held the beans until last week but they are all in and up and a follow up spraying completed ... and this year I am trying Milo on some of our ridge top thin soils since Milo is a deep root plant and will perform fairly well in low water conditions plus I am wanting to add organic matter to the soils on those ridges
Whoa Batman ....bush hogging and in general tidying up I have a couple of clover fields in their last year of production ....therefore some tall grasses and a few weeds needed topping in those clover fields ....so first pass on the first field edge clipping it about 18" tall I flushed twin fawns about 40 yards out into the field .....so I stopped a bit to watch their uncertain journey out of the field when I notice 6 or 7 little undulating trails of grass tops waving also away from me ...yup ...a turkey brood ...that old clover field must be doing it's job as I never sighted neither doe or hen
Guess I will clip the clover fields later ...hot later ...and likely high clip just half or less of each field
Have a great summer All
