The issue with this is with the "new" switch varieties like Big Rock. Its quite a bit more vigorous and seems to "wake up" a bit earlier than other varieties previously did. I would say burning No later than the 1st in Iowa.

No...late burn as in late spring right before the switch germinates.

I would like to hear from the others that planted Milo this past year on the deer usage?

This is a quick version. Light green=Clover Dark green= Brassicas/dbl tree mix(rotate) Yellow= Grain Orange=Screen(egyptian wheat) Red= Stands/Blinds Purple=Access The reason I would do the southern two legs into clover is because they will be very easy to access during bow season but also the...

I think one thing to note with Skips aerials are that he has "all" the food in one spot. Clover, brassicas, rye mix and grains. I think this is something that is so important. Deer are natural grazers. They are going to eat on all of it at any given time. Granted there could be times where they...

I just looked at the new Stihl catalog....The BR 800x is nearly 3lbs lighter than the C-E. Stihl is diving hard into the electric world. They have a new BRA 600. BRA 600- Electric Run Time- 17 mins at full boost mode Blowing Force- 35 newtons BR 800 x- Gas Run time- Until tank is empty 67.6...

Sure. Screening plots is such an under-utilized tactic. My maps were just suggestions as well. The key point is pouring the food to that place. BUT the one thing to remember, in a bait state no magic food plot will ever beat a corn pile so you will need to incorporate that as well, especially if...

I am pretty sure the guy in WDM is a bit older. But I do know you can specifically call and ask for the lead bow tech

This is not a "knock" on Scheels WDM by any means. I have always had very good success with them on all my purchases(never a bow). I think there is only person there that can deal with an issue if it arises. Such as swapping top hats or some other high level technical issue. I would call them...

The 800 is a bad piece of equipment. It will blow all your leaves into your neighbors yard, down the road, in the next county....on a side note when doing burns I would highly recommend also having a backpack sprayer, seems to work a lot better at putting the embers and flames out quickly. Also...

Can you speak to anything to do with color as mentioned earlier? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I honestly believe this is an untapped subject matter. I can tell you that I will never plant an enlist bean again as I believe they are not as palatable as other varieties. Its interesting that you bring this up because just this morning I was listening to a podcast , long story short Mark...

Population does not exactly apply to row spacing. But I can tell you from the AG world that lower populations are pretty popular right now. Planting 130-145k is what a lot of producers are currently doing. I would say that if you are fencing your beans then browse pressure is a non-issue so I...

I would only put the cedars in the area you are screening from the road. On the areas you plan to hinge/tsi, just let whatever successional growth come that's there.

I think you are thinking a bit too hard about this. I would take 2 things this year and implement them. Concentrate on them and then see what changes on the farm this year and then move onto something else. For instance, just quickly looking at your maps and hearing what you're saying what I...
