    Tree Tubes

    On the topic of tree tubes… what would chew off the top an Apple tree that is 12” below the top of a tree tube? We used a tree tube for the first time last week on a young apple tree. This spring it looks like it is doing well. Except that the top looks like it has been chewed off. The top of...

    Anyone know what plant this is?

    Buckbrush / Coralberry. Our timber is full of it. Not an invasive and is native to Iowa. Doesn’t hurt much, but have seen when we open up the timber or prescribed fire, other forbs will grow in it’s place.

    Alfalfa mix?

    Thanks, guys. I am going 25lb alfalfa and 5lb timothy for two of the acres (that we’ll use for my dad’s horses). Thicker stand for thinner stalks and better palatability. The other two acres will be 100% alfalfa. Will include some black oats as a nurse crop. Will see how it comes out. :-) Sent...

    Transplants

    Nice! We transplanted about 30 to a road screen 2 weeks ago. We weren’t able to pull them out as large as yours. Nice job! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Iowa Whitetail Potluck/ Fish Fry

    Sounds fun! How about Skip’s farm/cabin for the first one. Perhaps if it is an annual event, rotate various farms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No till drill, planting & details - video

    Question about soil prep… what’s your preferred herbicide cocktail? Has anyone “planted green”? When I’ve done a typical gly+2,4D burn down 2 weeks before a late July-mid August drilling, a dry Sept stunts growth so that the entire fall, the deer keep everything mowed down to the ground. The...

    MINERAL TO PUT OUT NOW…

    Per Skip’s guidance earlier in this thread, look for minimum 8% phosphorus. Personally, I wouldn’t do Nutrena at only 4%. I always add a bit of molasses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Farm Contract Recommendations

    I just downloaded a template from Iowa State and used it as a base: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/html/c2-16.html It’s worked for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Make Minnesota Iowa again?

    Agree. Throwing more money at education hasn’t helped. Removing DEI policies, reducing teachers union influence and crazy federal requirements to transfer the real decision making to the local school board would be moves in the right direction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multi Flora Removal

    We’ve been working to remove MFR in our timber with help from our EQIP program. Have tried lots of things: Foiler with Gly, basel spray with Tri+Deisel mix. (Sorry, I don’t have a good membory for how much it covered). My current favorite is to do a prescribed fire in Feb/March, and then come...
