Thank's Skip. Corn is done and beans would be but I ran out of seed last night. Will be done tomorrow! Earliest I've ever had them both done. One of my best investments; bought it with my crazy uncle Joe PPP money...

I am taking the seed bags to my local Nutrien guy and have him mix me up a cocktail this week...I have a buddy that's a farmer so I squeeze in under his license for any license needs. I have airbags on my planter so I go all no till for beans and corn. I was able to get everything burned off...

Anyone who took ag classes up until the 90's was preached to about soil health and erosion control. Something happened after that and now it is not even discussed openly anymore. Strange what PR and money can do...add in unqualified elected officials and we have the perfect storm of ignorance.

When do you hit your pre-emerge? Right after planting or before?

Thank you Skip. Will do it this weekend... On another note, I have been watching Ag Phd for a while now and they have some great content. They have been hitting on organic matter quite a bit this past year. They claim in order to build organic matter you have to keep tillage to minimum. Every...

2024 soil test. I did hit it hard with nutrients last year and ended up not planting anything.

looking for some corn and bean seed to plant for plots this year. Up until now I have begged and bought what ever I could from farmers but looking to do something more directed at plot grains. Anyone recommend a good fit that is readily accessible? I pretty much have to be able to spray for weed...

I couldn't believe what I was reading...what a puke...Defending criminals

I was reading some of the posts on FB from a little feller defending these guys, it was comedy gold.

Agree. The problem is they never look for efficiency only..."give me more!"

https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2025/01/14/indiana-general-assembly-bill-allows-illinois-counties-succeed-join-indiana/77696471007/ I could see more of this happening. These huge population centers are full of dimwitted clowns and they all need the $$.

I think the old "sick & weak" grade school and USFW talking points have pretty much been debunked. My take is that predators are just killers, it's how they're wired and that's what they do. I try to never let a yote or any kind of a cat walk. We never deny a serious trapper or a good coon...

Does anyone put out treated rub areas for deer similar to what we do for cattle? Permethrin treated rub areas around mineral sites?

Is anyone implementing strategies to try to minimize the effects EHD in 2025? Maybe we could start a thread sharing ideas?

Have a question on EHD deer and I don't want to start a new thread but... Is there any merit that scavenger animals will not touch EHD carcasses? Seems to be my observations but curious to know if this is a real thing?

It sure feels like more full time farmers are becoming avid deer hunters and are locking up the timber pieces for themselves and/or their families. Main reason I'd say is that hunting and farming have both become more efficient and more of both can be done with less time invested. And as you...

Might reach out to Brett Lowrey on Facebook, perhaps he could help.

I am elated that I was wrong. I am not ashamed to admit I was nearly in tears when Fox called Wisconsin. I woke up my wife and 16 year old daughter so they knew, the smiles on their faces told the story. I was very active politically in my younger years and I hope we all take time to understand...

Thanks guys! I rigged it up with wood lathe and duct tape. I don’t seem to have any torque issues so far.
