I went with a Pioneer enlist soybean 3.7..For corn, I went with a standard Pioneer roundup ready variety. What do you guys like for a pre emergent on the corn and beans?

To me the hard part of buying land and not paying cash would be the amount you spend in interest payments. Even on a small parcel like 80 acres it's staggering what you pay in interest over a 20 year loan. It almost doubles the price you pay for the farm versus paying cash. Very poor investment...

As a landowner I agree with you. I will vote against almost everything that has the potential to decrease age structure, and I will vote for anything that has the potential to increase age structure. This floating tag definitely will decrease age structure. Unfortunately, almost everything that...

I think if they want to keep gun seasons from the first week of December thru the end of the season, some limits need to be applied. Like no scopes on muzzleloaders..These muzzleloaders that shoot 5-600 yards are ridiculous. Go to YouTube and pull up " the 45xml bullet to bore long range...

^^^^^. I think Alfalfa may be the single best food/draw for deer. They were hitting mine even when it turned brown last winter, and it greens up first. Not to mention the nutritional value of it.

I should have added that SF-422 is good, but the S-3055 amendment is bad.

Looks like the outfitters are trying to sneak NR party hunting back in this year. Go to the Iowa bowhunters association to get the email list on this. Let's stop it.

Agreed. I see more value in buying a small farm for cash than to have the money sitting in the bank. I recently bought a small tract that was a good hunting farm and got a below 6k price. I always figure if i don't like it, I'll just sell it.

The contrails you see at high altitudes are from the engine exhaust. Certain atmospheric conditions make them more visible and last longer. At low altitudes and high humidities, you can get the vapor trails that come off the wings. The ones at low altitude are more prevalent during high lift...

Do you think the contrails you are seeing is from the friction and differences between wing temp and air temp?

Are they trying to ban/change the chemicals in the jet fuel?

People on their phones and distracted.

Yes, the little punk said the landowners were setting up fake Facebook accounts to shame the trespassers. He lied, they didn't.

I've heard the same thing. The outfitters shot all the bucks and when that dried up, the moved to other areas. It's actually getting less pressure and the bucks are rebounding now.
