Thanks for the response Paul...appreciate it.

Anyone??...pics??

Can someone clue me in as to why I can't see the pics?? (I'm logged in)

We literally have thousands of cottonwoods in our river bottom and would like to try hinge cutting in some areas to make some spots a little less visible to truck hunters...I'm hoping cottonwoods would be an acceptable species for this? Have blackberries growing in the backyard and thought...

Thanks guys, Kind of what I thought. We're planting some additional Cave in Rock SW. this year. in some land that's already in round up beans. I'd really like to try broadcast frost seeding as we bought plenty of seed. Unfortunately the river may over run the bank and I'm worried the seed will...

First Question for ya'all. Cedars...in the flood plain river bottom wide open brome area now but they flood pretty routinely in the spring...how long can cedars handle flooded conditions before perishing? Second question....Areas of brome grass...brother would like to run the plow through then...

If you were going to plant switch in an area where a small river will most def. overrun it's banks, how would you go about seeding it?? I'd like to drill it in over the RRbeans in the fall, but I don't want to waste a lot of money on seed that will just wash downstream.

Perfect. :way: good that's what I was thinking.

Well, right now ten acres is in rr Beans. We're going with this mixture Cave-In-Rock Switchgrass – 4 PLS lbs/ac Forestburg Switchgrass – 1 PLS lb/ac Dacotah Switchgrass – 1 PLS lb/ac Purple Prairie Clover – 1 PLS lb/ac I guess we're going to be using plateau and approx. 2oz./acre...

Do you think that we'd be better off drilling in May in a floodplain, or broadcasting as soon as flood waters recede?? I'd really like to try frost seeding but can't risk thousands of dollars worth of seed floating downriver. So how much of a cold stratification does switch need? as in ...would...

Forestburg and Dakotah are two varieties I've seen adapted to South Dakota...anyone know which I might have better luck with as far as thickness...height...BETTER TO HIDE OUR DEER!

Here's my situation... 1. approx. twelve acres ws planted in RR Soybeans last spring. Ground looks good...weed free..very little thatch. Beans WILL NOT be harvested. 2. Would like to plant Cave-in-Rock Switchgrass...BUT...I need something slightly more economical. I read about the other...

Were in a high deer density area (along with plenty of girdling rabbits). Looking for a thick bedding area shrub to compliment the red cedar. Must be a "native" species as per WRP contract. Considered Redosier Dogwood and Nannyberry.........but I'm afraid they'll be eaten before they can get...

Nannyberry & red cedar..........and briefly considering white cedar. Not sure if the white cedar is as hardy for my area as the red cedar. These will be planted in eastern so. dakota. Mostly in the flood plain, there's still a fair amount of higher ground so yearly flooding hasn't been an issue...

Here's the game plan.......we'll start by plowing the area and turning over the soil, then come back later that same day (time constraints) and disc it down. I'm planning on planting my cedars into this area and I'm wondering about the strategy and is there a pre-emergent that would work to put...
