    Congratulations, the adventures are just beginning. Our 1st just turned 1. Short on sleep will be an understatement the first 4-5 months. We learned to operate on sleep deprivation. Totally worth it.

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I've always been of the opinion be greedy when people are fearful and be fearful when people are greedy. Land is and has been a good investment for many people. But there are also people where it buried them financially. 80s farm crisis.(most of them are not around the community anymore to...

    2023 Farm Photos

    Year 5 of farming and year 2 of farming on my own. I farm with a bunch of antiques compared to most. But it works for me. My farms were all corn on corn this year, with the drought and hail storms yields were down compared to last year. But pretty thankful I has the crop I had. Best farm made...

    Cold Feet

    One time I was out hunting the late season in brutally cold temperatures and I think I got a hint of frost bite on my feet. Ever since then I have had trouble keeping my feet warm during the late season. I wear the thickest thinsulated boots I can buy. And have tried different combinations of...

    Disappointing Iowa Gun opener

    Hunted Saturday and Sunday with a small family group, 7 people. Pushed a mix of Public and Private lands and it sure seems that deer numbers are down significantly. Hunted morning to dusk and only filled 1 tag. Some of the poorest group hunting I've had in a long time. (Talked to 3 other groups...

    No Doe shooting for ME…. U guys down?

    I'm not sure the deer numbers are down on my farm. Had some good rut hunts this fall, also had a few hunts that were slow. That's normal. I will say Mature buck numbers seem to be down. As of right now, I can think of 1 buck that i would shoot. Which is pretty low for me. Normally have more...

    Late November Tactics

    This time of year I like to pull back a bit and give properties a break right or wrong, as that might be. Instead I like to do some scouting and glassing, I agree with those above, food is becoming a big priority again. Seen a nice buck, hogging down on some radishes a couple nights ago. Winter...

    "HERE" Lockdown has begun. Driving truck and around home, I'm seeing a lot of 3.5-4.5 or older bucks locked with Does out in fence lines, on road sides, big open ag fields. Places where the majority of deer are not. Trying to get away from pestering little bucks. Had a good hunt yesterday...

    Neighbor pressure and switchgrass ?

    Yes you are not the only one that has pressure problems, I have a neighboring property(to my farm) that most deer that move get shot, the good news about it is, they are well educated they hear the banging and know the pressure is tremendous. The best thing you can do is add as much cover to...

    Turning the corner in the real estate market?

    Personally I don't see a 40-50% hair cut to the prime land market coming. Here's why. Their are to many people with to much money waiting on the sidelines. 20k land currently isn't going to 8-10k it isn't going to happen. Will it sluff off? I think it will but not 50%. Now Rec land and land...
