    Herbicide Basics

    For corn, I put down 2pt Atrazine 4 weeks ago. 10 days ago, 2qt Gly + 1qt 2,4-D + 1/2 pint MSO. planted the corn today. I do have a BUNCH of volunteer soy beans that the farmer planted last year (and we didn’t harvest) still coming in. Must have been Gly resistant. Where we overlapped at the...

    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...

    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
