Mineral (and any trace of it), for the purposes of the law, are considered identically to feed. So you cant over it, near it, or influence deer movement with it for hunting purposes. If you are not using it for hunting, you can feed or mineral 365 days a year. (super grey area that needs...

>50% still holding as far as I can estimate on cameras.

I've been on more than one farm that had a Higgens consultation (don't think it was Don himself). There are some things I don't agree with in their philosophy, particularly on a bigger farm. Certainly more than one way to skin a cat and differing opinions arnt necessarily wrong. As OP alluded...

Yes but they no longer cost share mandated mid contract maintenance

Gotten lots of calls and texts in last 2 days about low rates from folks faced with reenrollment. Dynamics arnt great. CRP will be losing acres. And commodity prices dont need more production acres online. Need a new farm bill that makes CRP competitive. Fast.

Working on projects on two different farms right now. Mulching rose & honeysuckle amongst burr oaks on one and mostly 6-8" cedars on the other. The advantages of mulcher in these scenarios: 1. Finesse- Can mulch a honey suckle 1" from a desirable oak as example. 2. don't get into the root...

I assume you are talking cropping history years?

Not near enough crop diversity here in Iowa. Its nearly exclusively Corn and beans unless very small boutique type set ups. New crops and markets would be great. Hemp is one for sure. Growing up I remember a lot of the farmers double cropped wheat ahead of beans. Not sure I've ever seen a wheat...

Thanks! Any changes to rental calculations or program in general?

What are your thoughts? Sustained Low prices Steady or rising input costs Not a half glass empty person but the near term outlook does not look good at all to me.

I can get any seed in north America. Just message me. Banner is at top of page. ;)

Frost seeding into bean stubble works really well

What are the goals and projects involved. You'd want a private forester if there is a logging aspect. If not, Lindsay Barney is a great resource.

What I meant in broad terms as hunting over it. I dont beleive the 10 day things is in the regs tho. Eliminating any in season feeding cleans up the gigantic Grey area and would make it much easier to enforce. Much needed imo.

IR is casting a light. NV doesn't work without an IR light.

Depends on what you are doing. Mulching has advantages too. Way less erosion, ready to plant trees, smooth when done, more finesse (leaving desirable trees and not getting into their root system, less compaction, etc. Situational. Mulching large cedars is just not practical cuz of speed and...

In that scenario is really just depends on how big the cedar trees are. Once they get too big a dozer is way faster and cheaper than a skid/mulcher. Post up pics

This!!!! I actually have an email response from a senator when I was emailing them about straight walls... they stated these calibers wouldnt be legal. I kept explaining how they would be. When it passed I sent a follow up email... Basically an I told you so email. The legislatures dont...

Small seed box on most any drill. Main seed box on RTP works great as well.
