I was thinking it was lodging, then broke off and was dying.

I have several large areas of mature Cave-N-Rock switch in Washington County that is basically laying over, and has been for several weeks. I'm 5'7" and can see across it easily.The blades also have a fair amount of brown dead areas on them. Wondering what could be the cause.

I was watching a video last night about drilling warm season grasses (everything other than switch). The man making the video explained that he no longer uses the warm season box on his drill and actually prefers using the large seed box calibrated to a mix of cracked corn and his seed mixture...

Can larger seeds like soybeans or corn be planted with it? I didn't see them in the manual.

Anyone using a Truax no-till drill? I'm looking at an 8' with all 3 boxes. I'm wanting to plant anything from warm season CRP to soybeans.

I made some baffles out of cardboard and duct tape for my cut down JD drill...problem solved. I'll probably eventually make some out of sheet metal and pop rivet them on.

I've been looking at various drills...mainly Haybusters and Woods, but open to others. My budget is around $10K. I have a 55 horse tractor with front assist and a loader (think front weight). I need to have the ability to plant anything from native grassed (mainly switch) to larger seeds like...

Is 2,4-DB the same, in that you can plant brassicas into a plot 7 days later after spraying? I hit my new alfalfa plots with it last week and plan on lightly spreading in some brassicas into the bare spots.

I was going to mow first, because some of the grasses are pretty mature. Thanks for the info!

Getting ready to spray a few "established " clover patches and a few alfalfa plots I just started this year. The Alfalfa is anywhere from 2-6" tall with oats as a cover crop. I'm seeing some weed pressure in the alfalfa, and the clover patches need some help too. I have a jug of Clethodim and...

The fanny pack style I received would have worked great, but for some reason, none of the manufacturers that I have looked at so far don't include straps that would go from the shoulder area down to the fanny pack so outer layers of clothes could be packed in. The search continues. I'm trying...

Bow Spider attached to my backpack.

I've had the same Rocky backpack for the last 25 years, but its about ready for the garbage can. I've been looking for a replacement, but the main problem I am having is finding one that has straps on the outside for packing in clothes....since I got most of my clothing on at the base of my...

Who's funding the lobbyists? Asking for a friend.

What seeding rate/acre is suggested? I have a few bare spots in my beans that I'm going to plant this weekend.
