Planted my Brassicas and GHR last Sunday and have not had any rain on them yet. Plot was just bare dust yet today when I checked it. At least all of my other plots look great, the clay holds the moisture pretty good.

As far as the bare ground that you are going to put switch in, I would throw some oats in now to keep the weeds down the rest of the year and they will die off this winter. Then in march frost seed your switch. First green up before the switch is growing spray everything (including your...

I wish I would have gotten my turnips and GHR planted planted this week, just shy of 3" last night. At least my other plots and nwsg's will benefit.

This is money making weather for me working on a/c's, but I still hate the heat. Bring on the snow!

We had 6 tenths on monday and 5 on tuesday and I was darn glad to get it.

Sounds like Clinton co. They could care less about any wildlife programs. Hard to get anything done here.

I watered my fruit trees, washed my truck and left some clothes on the line.......... its gotta rain, food plots need a drink.

I've gone through 2 fimcos in 2 years. Pretty much replaced everything but the tank. This year new pump, on/off switch, manifold and recirculate line. spend more time working on it than using it. Last year it was all the little valves leaking. Fimco said they had a bad batch of them and sent me...

My Natives are starting to take off now too, I was gettiny a little worried. I drilled them in April and planned on getting them sprayed right away but the weather didn't allow it till may. By the time they were able to spray, the weeds were starting to come so I had them put some gly with the...

I'm putting up a 50x88 building right now in eastern ia. Flatwork for 5" with rebar is running me about 3.40 a sq. ft. I'm putting 8' walls around storage end and 4' walls around 50x32 shop end with flatwork and drains for $27,000.

http://www.truaxcomp.com/grassdrill.html Looks like you might be pushing it with the smaller tractor, I would drop down to a 6ft. I hate being under powered, especially in the hills. I've used both brands and really have no preference.

I'm guessing the house has an 80% furnace in it and I would replace it with just an 80%. They are a little cheaper and have fewer things to go wrong with them. A high efficient furnace condensates in the secondary heat exchanger, I have seen people have them in there shop or some where they...

Just have to wait and see. I always frost seed my clover and have never not have it come up. I did a couple acres last week and have a couple more to go.

I ended up getting her a can am 400xt. We took it out yesterday to the farm playing in what is left of the snow. After about 15 min I asked her if she could tell the better ride with the independant suspension, she wasn't sure. I made her hop on my vinson and after a couple hundred yards she...

My 8 year old lab (Harley) has bone cancer in his right frony leg. He has been getting around pretty good but I know I will have to put him down soon. He has been the best family dog and great bird hunter, I hate even thinking about trying to replace him. I was fortunate enough to be able to...

I seeded some clover on wednesday and hope to do a little more this weekend.

http://dubuque.craigslist.org/grd/2246312033.html These look a little rough but who knows. I know guy in DeWitt that has a 2 row 7000 he was looking to sell not sure on price, but I can check for you, He just rebuilt it this winter.Aj

I love the old Hondas. I actually have an 86 200x and an 86 250sx (best three wheeler ever made) that I ride around the farm. They're just not as practical when hauling or having one of the kids with you, but I ride them every chance I get. I think I might be going to look at a Can Am 400 for...

Thanks for all the replies. I was kind of leaning towards the grizzly but was wanting to stay in the 3-5k range and everything I am seeing for that price has a couple k miles. I didn't realize the seat was a little smaller though, i'll have to check that out. My daughter usually rides with my...

http://ottumwa.craigslist.org/grd/2242082642.html Looks about like what you need. Price doesn't look too bad. I'm more of a green paint person myself but you would have to add about 10k to that price. I know nothing of the tractor, just seen it posted. Aj
