Ohio Farm Tours

[buckhunter10]

Well boys it was a fantastic weekend Midwest is getting outright slammed with rain. I was worried about tilling around but I was able to get it accomplished. Friday was a short work day for me and my cousin and I jumped on the tractor around 3pm, we tilled and let everything dry for a few hours. We came back and seeded around 2 acres of beans that afternoon.

Big Plot

One thing you notice is we overseed rye into our beans every year. I sprayed it with gly to kill it off. You can see some still standing, those other areas of the plots will be in a turnip/grain mix this fall.

Pine plot in clover/alfala/chicory coming in good! Planted about a month ago

We at some great food! Backstraps cooked perfect!

Finally the reason we all do what we do, to chase big bucks. This is by far the biggest buck I have had on camera this early in a season. This deer is going to be a STUD, this was around May 20th. Cant wait to chase this Ohio stud.

A lot more updates to come soon!

Not even June and he's as wide as his ears! That should be a stud of a buck this fall. Only thing I'd add to that back strap is a dose of horseradish to run those slices through. Love back strap and don't have any left.

Nice work Al. We are making a lot of people jealous with all of our tilling LOL Wow, what a buck!

Deer will prob keep alfalfa mowed for you in a small plot but if you have to mow to control weeds, do so at 1-2 feet and it will keep trash from smothering alfalfa. Anxious to see its results. Good looking land and buck.

eww! I never liked horseradish much, you sound like my grandpap, he always likes that stuff!

Thanks buddy! This is by far biggest buck I ever have had this early in the season. I think this deer will be a jaw dropper - maybe I am hyping him up too much but I don't think so

Thanks buddy! Ill mow it a few times a year for the next few years.

Well lets start with the UGLY. So as I mentioned I sprayed my trees with Bonide fruit tree spray several weeks ago. I always rinse my sprayers after each use and before the next use. I did clean it very well but the spray roasted some of my trees, to the point I am not sure they will make it.

What do you think? Should I just wait till next spring to see if they bounce back?

 

[buckhunter10]

The good news

The bean plots are coming in nicely this is after just two weeks of growth. We need some rain but I am very happy with the results. I will spray GLY on them after another 2 weeks.

The big project today, get some wood split. Although its warm now, it will be cold and deer season before we know it.

start:


Finish: (I stacked it all as well after this)

 

[buckhunter10]

I finished the day with a stroll and a evening groundhog hunt. Didn't see any whistle pigs but the scenery is just too beautiful to pass up.

One more quick update a couple nice bucks - super excited about what these will grow into!

Yea buddy! bucks are putting it on! Also this aint AL, we get some COLD winters up here!

All joking aside I split 3-5 cords a year typically. At the farm I like to have a solid cord+. At home I burn more often and I like to have 2+ cords. Plus I sell a little as well.

Wow it has been awhile! Between working and getting married at the end of July, I have been very busy! Anyhow, all at farm is good. I got the beans sprayed, bucks are growing, big news to come this post!

 

[buckhunter10]

Also if you are getting married and you have a bachelor party, where else does one have it but the cabin?

Me and my buddies enjoying beer, sunshine and great food!
