If the cool season's are late, will the warm season's be late as well and thus spraying gly now give simliar results to a typical shot of gly in early April. That's what I am hoping for as I applied gly and atrazine today. After being too wet and then finding my roller pump locked up on my...

What do you recommend for stakes for your tubes?

I voiced my support for this to Cedar Rapids Senator Rob Hogg who is on the Natural Resources Committee and received this reply: Thank you for your email. I appreciate hearing about your support for dove hunting. I am opposed to the dove hunting bill, and I believe the majority of my...

I got the Genesis for Christmas for my 7 and 9 year olds. They love it. I like the fact that it has no draw length as they can share it, even my wife can shoot it occasionally as well. So for $200 they all have a bow and are excited about getting into archery and getting to go shoot targets...

Thanks Tom Here in south east Iowa we are going to go from 10 inches of snow and have not seen anything above freezing since Thanksgiving straight to mid 40s and above freezing over night. I'm not sure that is going to allow me to get a tractor in once I see bare ground. I found a Vicon 3...

Truax Slinger With the snow starting to disappear I am getting ready to plant 7 acres of CP-25. I was going to drill it but now thinking I might just as well broadcast it if I can find the right tools. Can anyone lead me to a Truax slinger in SE Iowa that could be borrowed or rented? Also...

Has anyone tried the BSA red dot 3x9x40 scopes? I like the concept of combining the red dot with a powered scope, but not sure of BSA quality. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_99895_425001000_425000000_425001000_425-1-0

I hit a doe with a lumenok opening night. She took off running with it stuck in her side and it was lit up perfectly. She ran about 40 yards and went into some corn where I heard her drop. I came back about an hour later to retrieve her and could not find my arrow. I found it a couple of...

There has been some research/discussion on the retriever training boards questioning why some of the pheasant forever CRP mixes are including Canadian and Virginia Wild Rye. Stating that the seeds or awns are being injested or simply working into dogs skin and causing some pretty serious damage...

I am seeing the most activity at my farm right now in a late planted bean field in between a wetlands area and a timber that is not my property. I have a limited selection of trees on my property that borders the timber. The best I could do was to take the bottom 4 ft off a 16 foot ladder stand...

Wet Brassicas My place In Washington County received close to 12 inches of rain this past week. Hopefully it will drain fast or my brassicas are in trouble. It wont be a total loss, but the wettest spot is roughly 40 yards around my tree stand :mad:

To save even more money, I just picked up a 4 gallon backpack sprayer on sale for $40 at Thiesen's. It is a harvest King and works just like the Solo. I put 8 gallons through it yesterday and it worked great for me.

Mine has been finicky with memory cards from day 1. I have cards that this camera will not do a thing with but the cards work in other cameras or on my computer. Try a different card or test if it will save internally.

I have been planning on replacing about 7 acres of brome with cp-25 around the "high" areas of my wetlands. Unfortunately even my high areas have had trouble drying out in SE Iowa this year. To prepare for the CP-25, I have disked and planted beans where I could but I have several areas a...

Wet Spring I have plans to replace 7 acres of brome and weeds with CP-25 along the north edge of my wetlands. The area is typically high and dry but has wanted to stay wet all this Spring. I burned in early April and it was the 2nd week of May before I could get my tractor in to spray with...

Hey Sednerb, Looks like you need to clear some of you PMs. Getting an error that your mailbox is full. PM me when you are up and running. I was WASH40 and am still interested in your pack.

I have 2 sections that I plan on burning this year. The first is 10 acres of brome and timothy that I will let green back up and then hit with roundup and then lay down some new CP25. The second is a 6 acre switchgrass buffer strip along a creek. This is about a 6 year old planting that has...
