    Switchgrass

    2 weeks? Looks like closer to 4-6 weeks of growth. T_max, I broadcast RC Big Rock last March and cultipacked on moist soil and sprayed atrazine. Turned out great for a first year stand in most areas ~4' of growth. That's with a D4 drought in SW WI. I overseeded some thin areas but switch...

    Water hole question!

    All my tanks are buried and I plant a perennial clover/fescue mix around them so that I can keep it mowed. I don't think deer want a bunch of cover around when they drink, they feel pretty vulnerable (I believe).

    Everything Soybeans

    Skip do you have different beans in that planter? Are you just running different maturity dates or experimenting with the things you talk about in the video? On a side note, I've read where several people state that deer don't browse on the leaves of enlist beans as often as they do other...

    Quinclorac or duracore on miscathus

    I've had even second and third year switch turn a purple color from quinclorac but it still kept growing and eventually hit normal heights. Definitely not something I would try on first year switch but I'm also a chicken about this stuff.

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    Th Thanks, the co-op was telling me that status would be an option but that looks pretty expensive. My guess is I have a good month before I need to put something on at this point.

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    Conventional tilled to a field that was burned down a few weeks previously.

    Switchgrass

    May be worth cultipacking the area when soil is moist to push seeds down as much as possible?

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    So I planted my 2 acres of corn this weekend in between rains and was planning to put some pre-emergent down, while emptying my sprayer the nozzle to the tank cracked. So I'm DOA on the pre emergent (atrazine). I won't be back to the property for a few weeks most likely, is there something I can...

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    Sorry I meant for 2,4-D on corn

    Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

    For those of you putting down 2,4D for burn down, don't you worry about the plant back time or not? I'm kind of a chicken sh*t so I don't usually take any chances on that kind of stuff.

    Switchgrass

    Label rate of atrazine won't hurt, there's already some broadleafs in there.

    Best YouTube resources

    The best channel I know of for habitat junkies and how-to information is- "Purpose filled habitat" Hardwoods, softwoods, swamps, switchgrass, old field management, stand set up and strategy, invasive control, his channel has it all.

    Beans and corn together

    It sure sounded to me that he was planting them together so the deer didn't have browse lines.

    Beans and corn together

    Thanks Jake, I think a reduced overall yield is acceptable as long as the deer leave them alone during the summer months. Part of what Tony said that had me curious was he made it sound like the grain conference he went to in Louisville almost made it seem like he was getting higher yields, and...

    Beans and corn together

    I listened to this podcast a few weeks ago and walked away with more questions than answers. Some questions that came to mind after he said 70% beans, 30% corn...What rates? What fertilizer? What herbicide? I find the high oil corn pretty interesting too, I have heard Don Higgins talk about...

    When do deer use corn vs beans

    Snow and cold is always beans due to the higher protein percentage is what I've always figured. No snow and I've always seen them concentrate on the carbs with the corn.

    Starting The Release Process

    Might consider the groundhog radish or similar that will grow through that hard pan and loosen up your soil. Just a thought.

    Miscanthus x Gianteus

    This time of year is getting late for treating foxtail, it can be harder to control with quinclorac as it gets more mature. YMMV

    Switchgrass

    I've got the granular version of atrazine, all the information I can find states 1lb of granular is equal to 1 qt of the liquid version. Does anyone have experience with the granular? Farmer told me they use a lesser rate for their corn spraying but they don't have any experience spraying...
