The Farm - Madison County, GA

I flew over Georgia yesterday and think I saw the burn at Triple C ranch!

Looks like it.

Starting a new little project---growing apple trees on my own rootstock. After the success I had with one in my yard here at home, I'm going to start some trees from seeds out of an Ambrosia apple and in three years graft scions from some of the trees I have at the farm onto them. Here is a picture of the seedlings just emerging. Depending on how they grow, I may pull them out of this pot and put in individual ones later in the summer---or, if they grow slower, wait until next winter to do that. We'll see. Should be fun regardless.

Tommy...If anybody can do this...you can. I thought after watching you graft on to my rootstock in 2016 that I could do it myself. Not a single graft took last year on the ones I attempted. Beginning to think I bought some bad rootstock cause you know it wasn't anything I did.

lak - I actually flew from ATL to Greensboro last Wednesday while my burn was in progress. Asked to speak to the captain before takeoff and told him I was burning my farm about 30 miles east of Athens. He shows me the flight path which was very close to the farm. I swapped seats with the passenger in the window seat and saw the burn from the air. Tracked our flight on my Motion X app and when we got parallel to the farm, there it was burning off the right side of the plane. Pretty cool.

That’s awesome!

I flew from Montgomery to Charlotte and thought it was probably right in the path!

I hope Greensboro NORTH CAROLINA, not Georgia?

Yep. NC.

Some pictures from this weekend. First, another MONSTER shed!

A fire I had Sunday night at camp, burning out an old pine stump. When I'm over there by myself, I like to burn stuff.

An active scrape, today, 4-1-19.

Found this old ladder stand that we put up way back in 2002 and forgot it was even there.

Fields look great but knock that stand down as soon as possible. A good buddy still has problems walking from fall from old wooden stand!

I'm the only one that could legally hunt out of it and there's no danger of that happening. My control burn coming up should take care of it.

Took a few spring pictures at the farm yesterday. With the weather finally warming up and drying out some, things are really taking off. My iPhone is getting to where it's pictures aren't the best but they're good enough I guess. Wish I would have took some of the wild azaleas and dogwoods cause they are really pretty this year. Maybe next time. Here is one of a fresh spike shed I found right under my Banks Feeder. Found several monster spikes this year. LOLOL. All my neighbors left. Unlike live deer, even the smallest shed is exciting.
