dbltree, is there any point in spraying a first year cir stand this late in the summer? I have a stand that looks very similar to sexy skips first picture. It has a little foxtail and some random broadleafs showing. I would say 80% switch and 20% weeds. Would I gain anything now or just...

thanks dbl, pretty sure ill use round up, let it dry out a week or two and then seed. Thanks for the help!!!

If you had a plot of say red clover or buckwheat or some other soil builder and you didnt have the tractor to disc it into the soil could you still get the benefit from it by hitting it with round up and then disc it in. Im having trouble with a red clover plot planted this spring, mowed once...

Just got back from checking my first year switch, and first ever planting. I am excited I have a great jump. Small plot compared to you guys, probably and acre and a half. But it is rocking. We have had colder temps so my switch is only about an inch tall but very little weed competition. I...

thanks for the help guys, thats what I thought just needed reassurance. My stand of first year switch is looking good right now, we'll see what the summer brings before I take any further action.

is CIR switch resistant to atrazine at all stages? Can I spray it now to kill other plants that have emerged by adding some crop oil. I did everything right and have tons of switch germinating and little weeds but just curious as it warms and more weeds grow if I can still spray atrazine??

ok maybe I'm getting lazy but the clover thread is getting a little long. Where is the best current online source for buying select2 herbicide. rainy dreary saturday here and I'm just planning ahead. Got about 2 1/2 acres I neglected last summer and wanna hit hard this year, coupled with...

thanks for the help dbltree. yes the deer by me LOVE brassicas. With rye, can you plant it earlier in the summer or are you saying dont seed anything till late summer.

roughly the size of a two stall garage. cleared a lot of overhanging limbs today. will get 70% sun all summer long. Soil is decent loam with a little sand. Has a few pines growing nearby, but I overlimed it today. Should be a pretty good growing canvas. I would prefer to start it with...

So I have a 3 acre sanctuary that we never set foot in except for a few days shed hunting and I am going to plant a small food plot in the middle of it strictly for deer nutrition not to hunt over. Since I want this to be a minimal intrusion plot what would you guys recommend planting in early...

you guys will think im crazy but I just got done spreading 1600 pounds of pelletized ag lime through a quad mounted spreader. And did some with a bag seeder that will only hold 20 lbs. I have five small food plots none bigger than 1/4 acre, some that are only accessible by foot. I throw down...

just a question on location. im in sw michigan a little ways further north than you guys. I have 2 acres killed and ready for frost seeding but still have over 18 inches of snow and no signs of much thawing very soon. Should I wait or get it out there fairly soon. Also, would atrazine and...

Re: NWSG Herbicide i have a 2 acre plot killed dead and dead over again in aug and sep and will frost seed straight cir in late feb, early march. My question is that dbltree mentioned thatch will absorb some of the atrazine. I have a somewhat heavy layer of that in spots so with my first shot...

one time through have a hard time shooting, second time...dead puppy no questions asked.

Congratulations man, my second is due saturday, but wife is feeling kinda funny tonight!!! Which is good with me since we cant hunt into january as a lot of states can. Children are quite a blessing and have changed the way I look at the world in a huge way, puts things into perspective!!

way to go master, knew youd come through this year. pig!!!!

i see no reason to pass, he aint gonna get much better, i'd put him at 150 right now.

Hey guys, heres a great topic stirring a lot of debate here in michigan lately. I've had a lot of hunters challenge me lately that my food plots are no different than their bait piles. Hah! I understand the HUGE difference here but most local hunters dont. To me it boils down to, what is...

way to go fellow michigander, I didnt know there were anything better than spikes up there. Great deer!!

wow you guys summed up my feelings as well, I have been getting grief for this recently. But living in SW Michigan, knowledgeable deer managers are few and far between. I personally have never heard of anybody harvesting "too many" does.
