It ran pretty well as it was but I’m going to cut back tillage pretty heavily after this year so I’m going to add weight inside the tool bar and probably put some pesticide boxes on it with sand bags to do no til

It’s a white ladino from a local seed store

Figured I haven’t updated in awhile. Things are in full swing at the project farm. Clover has all been drilled in and last years is looking fantastic. Luckily had time to get all my corn and beans in last week before all the big rain. Just today we started planting some hybrid chestnut trees...

Went for a little walk today and found evidence of the past occupants. Nothing like elk sheds in Iowa

Just thought I would share my project from this year. Its been a super interesting process. My family bought a high fence hunting farm that is 500 acres, 4 miles of 10 foot fence. We intended to open it back up to be free range. To make a long complex story short after a few months of trigger...
