I love all the stories. Very inspiring. Similar to most of the stories. I grew up middle class, worked at Grocery Stores, Construction, Machine Shops, and pinched pennies to support myself through college. Luckily had very good parents that taught me money management. Got my engineering degree...

Great suggestion. I have already spoke with them and looks like I have enough run off to support a roughly 1.5 acre pond.

Thanks to those that replied. This is what I had in mind prior to asking for advice. I was thinking to bulldoze the center ditch and turn it into a pond and then using switch for access concealment. Putting treestands on the green to grain transition set up for a NW wind, and a box blind out in...

Looking for a good rut set up as well as late season destination. Yes, up is north.

I would like your guy's input on how you would lay out this area from a food plot/access perspective. 7 total acres to work with. 90% of the deer enter the field on the orange arrows. My access is all from the South. Very high deer density and little agriculture in the immediate area compared to...

Tilled, Cultipack, Broadcast, Cultipack Again. Upland fairly flat 1 acre area.

Planted my brassicas on Sunday and since then have had close to 7 inches of rain here in SE Iowa. Will they be alright or should I expect to replant?

I am seeing such a big difference in size. Some poults are about 3/4 grown while others look like they just hatched. I have not seen this much size variation in the past. Are others seeing/noticing this?
