Nice, how old are you plums and when did they start producing fruit? Do the deer/turkey feed on them? I planted 25 wild plum bareroot seedlings this spring. Most are already to the top of the 4ft tube i tubed them in.

Looks great

Follow up on my first attempt from this spring. Super happy with how my first ever attempt at a foodplot ever has turned out. This was broadcasted on 5/18. I was worried I was late in the spring to plant, Im sure frequent rains since have helped me. Turned out way better than I could have...

Went to check my first year switchgrass screenings. Not looking to great. I can see for sure some switch coming up, but its pretty sparse. Seems like most did not germinate. Im wondering if maybe I had to much thatch when i broadcasted seed and I didnt get good seed to soil contact. Some spots...

Think I will get down there this weekend to spray. Come back in a couple weeks to burn it and broadcast, maybe spry gly again on any new weeds or grass that have sprouted up. Hopefully all these rains keep coming as I'll be planting it a little big later than ideal timing, more towards back half...

I'd like to try my hand at broadcasting some brassicas. I have a quarter acre spot in mind for a first go round. I have gly and 24d to kill off the grass/weeds in the spot. My question is about getting it sprayed around rains. Say it is dry one day, but supposed to rain the next. Is that a bad...

Zero turns and slopes just are not a good mix. Can get dangerous quick

I have some dumby cams set out on a permission piece that there's been some issues. Ive been the only one with permission for 10+ years. Couple of times tree stands have popped up. I asked the landowner about it and confirmed I was the only one. I played nice and put a note on them explaining...

I like making mock scrapes. I just ziptie a grape vine about waist/bellybutton height. Clear out the ground below it and scrap up the dirt. Usually works really well. I've never tried adding any scents to them, never felt I needed to. I'll take a leak in the scrap, I think that does seem to...

I'd like to go, but will be on RAGBRAI

When you going to take me on a bear hunt?

Do you have a resource i can read up on this more? 1. So money in your IRA can be used to purchase land? If someone has say 100k in an IRA does that mean once they purchase the land with the IRA their IRA balance is now zero? 2. And then any income such as rented acres has to go straight back...

Well, relative to todays prices, I still seem some 40ish acre size pieces come up now and then that don't see to bad. I really think a 40 acreish size is pretty attainable for most people if they want it. Occasionally still will see something 70-80ish that doesnt seem bad. Anything bigger I...
