I’m just going to make 15-18 plantable sticks out of what I have . I’ve got so much dogwood at my farm , it’s endless. This is going to be an experiment on Napier soils in Iowa ? See how it goes ? Dogwood (pic) in Minnesota.

Need to trim em a bit .. going in next Tuesday!

I’m going to try some Red Osier dogwood cuttings in Iowa … anyone had success ? I’ve only done it a few times, any tips would be appreciated.

I think Hackberry would do well in a re-plant with some shade . I’m a fan, some landowners do not like to plant hackberry ? I think they mix in nice with oak .

What a fun project ? You planted last year as well, which trees did the best ?

It depends on how much sun, but it won’t hurt to try . I’ve seen oak come up nice in a cut area .

I’m looking for an angel investment !! More land for hunting , I’ll pay you 5%! Win win !:)

You put a metal blade on the weed whip ? Is that what you are saying ?

I’d have to look. Mine is smaller, I would recommend a bigger model than I have . The 220 Stihl looks interesting.

I’ve definitely used loans (paid principal & interest) for several years in farms . In my case the income had paid a good portion of the payments. Not a full cash flow, but close. Meanwhile it has appreciated…

I checked the big board and my land says still valuable!!;)

Both sides in Minnesota

Unless he’s shooting the best genetic buck on the farm …I do not see a big issue .

The cold hard fact is the more buck tags available, the less likely a hunter/landowner will let others on his farm . There’s always a chance the buck tag gets filled, & the landowner says “yeah I’m done” you can hunt late season or second season? Just a thought that gets overlooked!

If I were to pick the best rules create the chance for bucks to survive & to make hunting accessible & successful for both gun & archery hunters … 1. The gun season would be after November 24 2. Two gun seasons-like Iowa-you choose one of the 2 seasons. This would help with access . 3. 1...

This market is odd. I’ve seen some farms sell very high, and then I’ve seen a few sit on the market and maybe even go below market ? There might be some buyers taking a break until they know what the future looks like with commodities/CRP/timber value etc…

I have to cage every pine I plant ! Spruce in most cases… . I left one 18 inch pine without a cage in Iowa and it was about 3/4 inch high by spring !
