We got some really warm and wet weather this past week and the warm season grasses have really took off since my mid-season mowing. The leading stems are about 4 foot tall and the wild flowers are blooming like crazy.
Did a mid-season mowing per contract yesterday. The foxtail is bad in some spots but other areas look great and didn't even need it. I honestly can't identify the switch but the farm office guys said it looks good. I was surprised to see many of the Black Eyed Susan flowering. The Prairie flower...
So I'll be planting a CRP mix Friday with a Great Plains No-till drill. The drill has 3 seed boxes. Below you can see the various species and seeds. The recommended plan/practice is to lump seed types together (flowers with flowers and switch with conservation cover) but after looking at the...
That's a lot of info and it will take some research to digest it all.... thank you. This field will be coming off a 5 year crop rotation with it currently in corn. Do you see any issue with planting in corn stubble and do you feel I still need a fall burn down after they pick in late October? I...

Little late on this but a great idea…..I'll be planting something this spring and I'll try to get a double tree bought and hung in my dinning room like I've wanted for a long time!
I've been a member here a long time and it's funny to see guys I know making a post I didn't start. I went and saw this buck the night it was recovered. I've got the score sheet but IMO it's only a very ruff guess. Many points are off the beam at a slant....they could go typical or abnormals. 60...
Came across (what I think was a great deal) on a tractor the other day and my wife suggested I buy it. This should help food plotting and working around the farm tremendously. I did some mowing with it today and used the bucket to haul some yard debris. No more wheel barrel for this guy!

Good....I need some road screen bad! The bare ground on the roadway is killing me. I'm going to broadcast a little on the edges and roll it in with a roller. Its's extra seen, 3 years old so its worth a shot.
