I just recently found this site and thanks for all the great info that folks have put up here. Like I really needed something else to occupy more of my time /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif, but realize I have to spend some time catching up.
I have had several firsts this year that have me a little excited for Oct 1 to roll around. Bought 40 acres in SE Iowa, planted my first food plot, bought my first bow.
My first food plot was a little weedier than I would have liked. I sprayed it with RU, waited 2 weeks, disked it and planted a mix of soybeans and sorghum, with one small section of the plot in the PF BLizzard Buster mix. It is about a 3acre plot and I put down 50# 46-0-0 urea and 50# 13-13-13 per acre. I think I needed to go heavier on the Nitrogen as it never got that deep green color I would have liked. However, it was pretty wet.
The blizzard buster section is doing pretty good. The rest is dominated by foxtail and cocklebur. I can live with the foxtail at this point, but the cocklebur is really bugging me. The big group of cockleburs are located next to another 1 acre section that I have disked up and ready to plant a rye/wheat/oats mix. At this point in the game would you, leave the sorghum/bean/cockebur section alone, roundup the cocklebur just to get rid of them, or roundup/disk and extend the rye/wheat/oats section into where the sorghum/bean cocklebur section is, or other ideas.
Thanks
