Looking good. What grain drill is that?

1.3” in central MO and round 2 hail damage on my truck!

Indian Hemp / Dogbane. Perennial that's here and there in our fields as well. Related in the milkweed family. Has a milky poisonous substance on the inside. Can see when you cut, mow it. Not much eats it for this reason.

I think this drill is a great value. Only downside of the cultipacker is you may have a more inconsistent stand due to uniform packing wheel height. Individual packing wheels like the G series would allow it to follow the ground better. Should be less of an issue if predominantly...

I know this is an old thread but I hunted early season last year in a pair of gray Mountain Khaki pants. Comfortable and durable. Paired with the new Sitka Cover lightweight hoodie for the top and it worked quite well..

100% fall seed. Clover is a cool season plant. You're in the tail end of the cool season and at the start of the warm season, I would not plant any cool season plant right now. Shoot for mid-August and plant with a cereal grain. Can mix in annuals in like Crimson, Berseem into your...

As long as rye has made it to the boot stage (grain head inside flag leaf), mowing should pretty well terminate it. Emergence (before pollinating) will also mow kill.

I used winter wheat this time around. But you'll get a cleaner stand (a few less broadleaves) with cereal rye. It's allelopathic qualities are real, and IMO the result is a touch better. Rye also grows a larger root mass than wheat, which I also think helps weed suppression, and allow the...

Definitely. These fall droughts are getting old fast.. Will either leave as is, or integrate some form of no til (drill) or min till disturbance (Roll through with disc straight - 0 degrees) where I interseed a cereal and/or brassicas. Will see how it looks come August.

May 15th, 2025 It's almost cheating how good of a clover stand you get the following spring, after fall seeding with a cereal grain.. Also went back through and frost seeded in February. If it stays this good, may keep this field through the fall. Decisions..

Press charges on them all.

Looked at Deere 5075e / Case 75A / NH Workmaster 75. No Kubota (good brand ..but the orange is just too obnoxious). Already had a front grapple and 4,000 lb 48" forks in skid steer attachment from our 50 HP LS. Made the Deere cost too much trying to trade in all the front implements to...

Call your local Ag Services, see what they recommend (local farmers are using) for your area. Ex: Thistle is rare around me, but ragweed, foxtail are much more prevalent.

Ha thanks! That's funny, we traded in our 50 HP LS for this 75 HP New Holland. You're right, nothing this new one can't do! - Fert. Spreaders from Co-Op - Larger 7' - 10' drills / rentals - More weight, power to use larger ag sized implements.. - No more teetering or sliding around trying to...

Btw, is your drill a 3 point from what I recall? 6' Truax? Be curious how it handles it.

Thanks Dave! Good to hear. We traded in our smaller 5’ mower with our 50 HP, so need to get a 6’ or 7’ rotary quick to start mowing my clover again soon.

Now if only my neighbor will cave and buy that Genisis 8 I can borrow..

Should also be able to cut locust and apply tordon to the cut stump. I wouldn’t overspray however.

A fall planting Rye + clover, or some type of Dbltree mix is hard to beat. Agree with the above. Need soil test asap, likely low in lime and P, K. Sulfur is needed for clovers as well.

Too late to get a good stand of perennial clover without a massive weed war on your hands. Establish in the fall with cereal rye and have the best stand of clover in your life the following spring!
