You can log the reserve area but may not remove more than 1/5 of the trees in any one year not counting dead trees. The...

    Grain Wagon hunting blind.

    Ironwood: We use a vinyl window from Menards that measures 24" x 24". They used to be a 2 pane window with both panes sliding to one side the other. Now they only have one side that slides. It still gives you 24" x 24" viewing area but the shooting hole is about 12" x 24", with the 24"...

    JD Planter

    I have a 6 row 7000 that has wavy coulters, row cleaners and spaded closing wheels on it for no-till. I pull it with JD 3010 diesel with no real problems. The 3010 has about 55hp. Highly recommend the Martin row cleaners and spaded closing wheels. In a true no till situation they help you...

    Planting Trees from seed (HELP)

    I have planted quite a few swamp white oak over the years and agree that they are a great tree. They are quite fast growing and can produce acorns very early. They seem to be fairly consistent in acorn production but don't always produce very many acorns. I have several in my yard where they...

    Question on a rape turnip planting??

    We planted a combination of rape and turnips on August 5th last year and got excellent results. It got about 30" tall and had good bulbs on the turnips. Planning on doing the same thing this year. We had a 1/2" rain before the planting and several nice rains after which always helps. If...

    Transplanting trees

    That big of oak would be very difficult to successfully dig and replant by hand. I have transplanted a lot of trees with a tree spade and found that you are almost always better off choosing a smaller tree that you can effectively remove most of the root ball. A smaller tree will often surpass...

    Wheat to beans...

    If the winter wheat isn't so thick that it would interfere with the planting I would either spray and plant or plant and then spray asap. The common wisdom now is to keep roundup ready beans as weed free as possible asap since the weeds( wheat in this case) soon rewtrict growth and yield very...

    Food Plots 101

    Another option that you would have in planting your brassicas and clover would be to borrow a no-till prairie grass drill for the planting. Many Pheasants Forever chapters bought drills for their areas and loan them out at no cost or a reasonable cost for planting prairies. Most have a small...

    Persimmon Trees

    I have planted persimmon over the years here in Marion county and have had good luck getting them to survive the winters. You absolutely have to protect them from the deer and rabbits or you will never get them started. You may want to plant them in somewhat protected areas. They leaf out...

    Doe Harvest During the Rut

    For me it all depends on where I am hunting and what time of the day it is. If I am in an area where getting a doe out is fairly easy I will shoot one towards the end of a morning hunt or early in an evening hunt. I used to think that you would screw up the rest of a hunt by shooting a doe but...

    Field prep for NWSG?

    We had a similiar situation on a CP23 planting. I planted part of it as a frost seeding using a Truax drill directly into the corn stalks the same fall as the corn was removed, part in the spring directly in to the cornstalks, and the part around some wetlands that we developed in to disturbed...

I did a project for a friend where we converted existing bromegrass cover to tallgrass prairie,shrub planting and a combination of partridge pea,illinois bundleflower and clover. The existing brome had virtually no...

    Weed spray for legumes?

    Slay and Pursuit have the same active ingredient. I checked with the guy I buy most of my chemicals from and he quoted me a price of $15.48 per acre at a recommended rate of 1.44 ounces per acre for Pursuit. He looked up its use on Alfalfa. He said it was a very good product. I haven't used...
