Selling my 2018 Massey Ferguson 4710 with a 931X loader. This tractor has been very well cared for and used mainly as a food plot and acreage tractor. It currently has 560 hours (may go up slightly with use). Selling because I just want to get a smaller cab tractor that fits my trailer...

Took a soil sample of field that I rotate corn and beans in last week, took my results to the co op expecting to need a bit of lime after my test said my PH 5.9. After showing the agronomist the results he said he would add any lime because my buffer PH is 7.74. Never had seen it heard this...

I discovered the quickest and easiest way to open up your canopy and make a nice open oak ridge thicker and 100 percent better for bedding and cover. Drumroll . . . . . Just have one of these guys drive around it for a week or so haha. In all seriousness just finished up timber sales on my 2...

Had a rough day working on the farm this week. Found 2 bucks that got locked up and died. Turns out one was my number 1 target for this past year and the other was my best up and coming 3 year old. Always a chance it happens and sucks when it does. I passed the big guy a couple times last year...

I have noticed the last couple years u have a couple bucks that have the same antler deformation. Some bucks every year and some bucks look fine one year and then have it the next. It basically looks like they still have velvet on the ends of some points and usually the end of their beam. And...

I don’t know if many of you have seen my previous post about my project farm the last couple years. I emptied a high fence farm and am restoring it to its natural habitat. Starting with zero deer. I was able to harvest my first good buck off of it today after a few years of hard work. Including...

Hey everyone looking to see if anyone on here has a drone in SE Iowa or knows someone who may to overseed corn and beans this fall. I have a 10 acre plot looking to try this on to maximize my food acres.

This year I decided to use Non GMO corn from real world wildlife by Don Higgins. Now I don’t usually like to just follow and use what a hunting industry professional is selling but I’ve been super impressed by some of the products in the past. I did my one pass with RU and Resicore a couple...

Anyone done a deep dive into humic acid? I’ve seen Don Higgins is now using it and talking about it some. The videos linked to his website are deer farmers using it as a supplement in feed and they claim they see health benefits. I bought some of his PH balancer some some small plots because it...

My property has small lowland spot that seems like someone tried to make a duck pond once. It’s usually looks as pictured and very rarely fills but doesn’t hold water long. Usually just a mud pit. Looking for some ideas to fix it. Was wondering if there is something I can put in it that will...

It’s been a busy winter at the farm. Had a big CSP project start with about 150 acres of TSI this year. Some burning started with a big timber burn hopefully in the next week. Came across a few sheds too. But getting really excited to put the saw down for some spring planting and tractor time.

At what point are you removing your electric fence? Specifically on brassicas? I have some pretty good growth now about a foot tall.

I’ve been thinking about doe harvest a lot recently. To me it’s not making sense shooting does for “management” I get if we were heavy CWD state in Iowa, but I feel Iowa does not need to be harvesting massive amounts of does. Especially late season. I hear all the time people saying “deer...

Had my biggest year of food plots! Planted roughly 30 acres of plots over my 2 farms, along with 30 acres of CRP. Lots of clover/corn/beans/brassicas. Tried about every method there is for planting and learned a lot. May spread some rye in thin spots of beans and brassicas but I’d consider...

Found 2 bucks this week. The last one has looked healthy on camera consistently all summer and just found dead. Getting it tested by DNR biologists thought maybe we’d be okay this year with all the moisture.

Finished up my corn plot today! Just wondering if anyone here has interseeded annual clover when the corn reaches V4- V6. Any tips or suggestions for success?

Just thought I would share my project from this year. Its been a super interesting process. My family bought a high fence hunting farm that is 500 acres, 4 miles of 10 foot fence. We intended to open it back up to be free range. To make a long complex story short after a few months of trigger...
