Well, I let the Liberty rip yesterday so we'll see.

I've got some yellow nutsedge along with grasses so I'd like to use gly/Liberty to burn down before putting in a new clover plot. Plan is to spray this weekend and plant clover/chicory along with rye Labor Day weekend. I'm seeing conflicting information on Liberty plant back. Can anyone...

What I'd like to know is how Don's farm is able to hold and keep so many older age class bucks on such small acreage. He talks about having 3-4 high potential four year olds along with his older target and management bucks,. I would think the four years olds would seek out their own turf but...

Well that was a Grim read!!

Is it really that bad in the well known counties in Iowa? I figured not having the gun season during the rut would offset the high grading to a large extent. Hunters have become too effective if at least a few high potential bucks can't slip through the gauntlet even in Iowa.

Cub Cadet makes a ZT with a steering wheel that is supposed to good on hills. However, Cub Cadet quality appears to be suspect.

12 oz gly?

New farm with mid contract maintenance due this year on 4 acres of it, so my goal for this year is to remain in compliance. I like Skip's idea but the spraying has to be done by Sept 30. NRCS suggested mowing it so I'll probably do that and then spray either gly or Cleth.

Oddly, the NRCS doesn't provide much guidance but suggested Clethidem at the lowest rate for mid contract maintenance. A light rate of gly was the ticket for contracts in Missouri. What are you guys spraying in Iowa? Burning isn't an option for this year. Thanks

I slung some older seed into the yard at my hunting shack on the North MO/IA border that contained some forage collard seed. A few popped up and are now in their 3rd growing season. I've mowed them down a dozen times and they keep coming back which got me thinking about putting them in a...

I voted strongly opposed to all of it. IMO the only two things that would improve the quality of mature bucks would be moving the gun season back and limiting NR. Moving the gun season will never happen and I bought farms in MO rather than Iowa because I could hunt every year. Selfishly, I...

Interesting conversation, human nature at it's finest. We are all for others making sacrafices for the greater good, but boy does is suck when things hit home. DOGE uncovered $20 million for Sesame Street in Iraq. Those kids are going to feel like they lost a landowner tag.

I'm not sure. I only needed one bag and planted so I could rage on mares tale in that spot. Picked them up from MFA.

I agree, there is something about Enlist beans they don't like. We can get a good stand on a 1/2 acre plot and there were still beans avaiable 2 weeks ago.

A significant population increase would negate the necessity of any major changes to regulations. Easy say, hard do! The politicians won't help and the DNR can't at this point. Trigger restraint is the answer. The question is how do you educate the masses? Can a list of all the residents...
