In my experience with how they look, they are shot. Hope he carrys hail Insurance. They'll grow new leaves and look ok. But the damage is done..

My main food source on my farm is land locked all summer long. So machinery isnt an option. So I spray it down and scattered the Brassicas right before a rain. Its works good for me.

BucksnBears, Don't remember the kind of pumpkins picked them up in the local hardware store.(Thought I'd try it because I seen it on here) I planted 7 hills and had 5 hills make it. I hoed a spot clean and planted them. Then the vegetation grew up around them, as I had a farm accident and was...

NEIA here. And seeded some of my purple tops turnips and radishes today. Sprayed it down and scattered them. My pumpkins are struggling due to I haven't been able to care for them till now. Put a bucket over them and sprayed big circles around them. Hopefully they both do well. I always plant my...

I just completed a logging project on 25 acres and we took 175-200 big maples. In my opinion, if it is open underneath i would cut more and try to transform it to a nasty think bedding area. Your going to want to stay out. (In hindsight I'd wished we cut more. I plan to in the future) If you...

Watched Market to Market, the economist on there seemed to think Powell should be cutting rates right now, with the way the economy looks.(And hasn't because Trump told him to) I think Ag land has come down some but not enough to reflect the current commodity markets. I'm willing to bet Trump...

Now that does seem reasonable if the house is any good. If the house is good and doesn't need 100% gutting and start over that was a bargain.

You guys can have it all we re up to 12-13 inches since April 1st. Corns starting to look water stressed, tinting yellow on wet ground, and turning yellow between 40 foot tile lines. We need a dry couple weeks, and sunshine. Starting to be a little concerned about the nitrogen availability even...

You looked at a farm listing and or farm auction results tillable, timber etc. And said wow that doesn't seem terrible? I haven't come across one in a long time. Maybe I'm to conservative. The last one I seen I bought and that was 4 years ago.

No Product pimp here. idc how much money. I'd never be a peddler. I was a Peddler for a company for 7-8 years when I graduated school. When I hunt I want to be left alone, I'm sure the Red Checkered Flannel insulated coat I wear in the late Season wouldn't be approved by any of the companies...

They still move because people come out of the cities, with check books that don't need ROI. For their "dream" farm. Which is good for them if they can afford it. And it's good for landowners to, because they can ask ridiculous prices, not good for the fella trying to get started.

The thread below got me thinking about how every single persons path to land ownership is going to be different I'll start with my story and see if others want to share there's. My goal was to buy land and farm on my own.(Not necessarily hunting related land) Just out of school I started in a...

Everything skip listed is accurate, about working hard, sacrificing saving etc. The problem today is, Getting a standard job say of 50k in Iowa, the cost of living is stupid high currently, add that to current real estate prices and it's becoming very hard for the average person to save enough...

We planted 25 swamp white oaks. And 25 Black Walnuts in a predominant Silver maple river bottom.(I tried to be picky about where we planted the black walnuts higher ground) We logged 175-200 silver maples this winter. Also planted about 100+ Red Ossier Dog woods and various dogwood clippings. I...

I'll use my Dad's words, "He who has the gold makes the rules" In this case your Dad owns the land so let him do as he pleases. There will be a time in your life when you look back and would give anything to go on another hunt with your Dad. My Dad is the complete opposite if it doesn't put the...
