Sounds like you are driving yourself and your pocketbook crazy trying to play God.
See, that's where I need to clarify and where we DIFFER!!!..... I LOVE DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am NOT driving myself crazy. I want to take my GOD GIVEN ABILITIES on biology, management, HARD WORK, planting & cultivating God's earth/soil/seeds & I want to make a piece of land the BEST IT CAN BE.
I am not ok with having a mediocre farm that the COWS DESTROY, the invasive tree species take over, the oak composition die out. Or a farm where the deer are starving, it's over its carrying capacity, the ratio is as UN-NATURAL as it can get AND the young bucks are being killed by people in droves. That's what really stresses me out and drives me nuts.
I likely wouldn't do the deer pellets, I was just curious what you thought. The rest is doing what I LOVE to do & I will be leaving my farm far better than when I found it. Every farm I've been on was SO UN-NATURAL and poor quality from the PAST OWNER- the oaks were destroyed through harvest & non-replanting, full of thorn trees, cows destroyed the timber and native grasses, no natives period, the deer ratio was out of whack, the amount of mature bucks was tiny, the deer got some much human pressure it was sad, etc, etc, etc.
This is NOT driving me crazy, I LOVE THIS!!!
