I’ve had 2 show up in the last 48 hours with strips of velvet hanging off their horns. Northeast mo

What pre emerge do you guys use with enlist beans?

I’ve gone thru 2 of the soft bag chapin seeders now. They’re great for tiny seed like clover, ok for seed like wheat, terrible for heavier corn and bean seed. Anyone have good experience with another brand that is not plastic crap? I’ve got a pto spreader but that’s way overkill most of the time...

Burn down and plant is my goal so I can stop this tilling crap. But that’s what I’ve got for the time being. Appreciate the response. That’s what I was looking for

What would your recommendation be if I were no till? As stated I’m not there yet but hope to be in the next couple years. Learning now may lessen the curve later

No I don’t yet have that ability. There are various farmers nearby that could but getting them to spend a few minutes in my 2 acre plot is next to impossible. I hope to have that ability sooner rather than later. It would eliminate a lot of headache

Sprayed my plot last week with gly and 24d. Got a decent kill but there’s one woodier type broadleaf plant that seems to have survived. Got burnt a little but certainly not nuked like I’d hoped. Anyone know of another good broadleaf killer that I could try? Also what is a good broadleaf...

Dumping some dye in seems like a pretty easy fix. Is it just so worthless it can’t be seen at all?

Those sound like cucumber beetles. They can have either spots or stripes. Squash bug and stink bugs are pretty similar. Slightly smaller than a dime. Gray colored. Stink to high heaven when you kill one with your fingers. Sevin is toxic to bees so I always spray my pumpkins in the day time...

Anyone ever use this? If so does it work? If I’m spraying I usually procrastinate enough I can follow my progress by watching the tire tracks in the weeds. To be safe though I overlap and have often wondered how much spray I waste doing that. Thought about trying the dye if it works and doesn’t...

I’m jelly. They’re a constant fight for me every year I plant pumpkins. Sevin does nothing for mine either. Have to mix up permethrin and be vigilant with spraying just to keep up with them. Sevin does work on cucumber beetles tho for me

I don’t know how it is in Iowa but here in mo I stopped mulching around pumpkins in my garden. Gives the nasties a place to hide and avoid the insecticide. Squash bugs are especially bad about doing that

Cleth burns clover? Thought that was grass specific. Learned something today

I’ve never known God to be wrong. Just a matter of if we’re willing to see what He sees. I’ve found it wise to endeavor to do that as much as possible. My problem is I often fail in that endeavor and choose to see the right now vs the tomorrows. Good on ya for recognizing the opportunity

Did you do any spraying before or after mowing? The wheat maturing doesn’t upset me. This plot has a bad marestail problem and the fast growing wheat seems to have slowed it down a good bit. I like that greatly. Still a few growing in it along with some thistle but the weed count in this little...

My big plot is about 2 acres. Last fall I squared off maybe 1/4 acre and broadcast cc and ladino clovers with ww as a nurse crop. This spring I frost seeded a little extra ladino into it. My plan was to terminate the ww this spring to provide a cover of sorts to aid in water retention and weed...

I’ve got a 60 gallon fimco sprayer with the retractable booms. It works well but the dumb thing has no drain plug. Has anyone installed a drain plug in one or something similar that has worked? If so how’d you do it?

How do you guys roll up and/or remove your wire at end of season? I used poly tape one year and while it was relatively easy to remove I wasn’t particularly impressed with its effectiveness. I’m thinking about using just regular old steel wire this year but am concerned with how much of a pain...

I planted 2 acres of rw beans. They did hold up well to browse. I had them fenced but I don’t really know how much of a deterrent it was once the plants got big. If they are shatter resistant I’d hate to see what they’d do if they weren’t. I was walking around my fence late season on a day with...

Darn good firewood
