yeah its getting rain so that is good

How important is getting the seed packed done after broadcasting? This past weekend I broadcasted about a 1/2 acres worth, about 5-10 yard wide screens. About half of it was in an area I can't get anything to it to try and pack down, it was walked on to try and pack it I had a couple of helpers...

Closed on my first farm, an 80, at the end of 2021 at 32 years old. I knew I wanted to buy land when I was in college. I still remember sitting in the computer labs at ISU looking at whitetailpropeties.com all the time and dreaming. It was my #1 goal in life, to own my own farm. Whenever I...

Yesterday, 5/18, I broadcasted some clover seed. I know its late, but wanted to give it a try. Couple weeks ago I sprayed the areas with gly and 24d. Yesterday came back and burned them off and then raked them out a bit. Broadcasted clover. I know its late, but really wanted to try and get...

Awesome looking cabin

they are tubed, so that should protect from spraying?

What is recommended to spray?

My first tree planting this spring is doing really well. Yesterday after turkey hunting I checked on most of my seedlings. 75 swamp white oak, 25 plum, and 25 white pine. Nearly everything is doing well, just one plum not leafed out and although I didnt check every oak I'd bet 95% + are leafing...

No worries, appreciate the offer. I got them all planted and tubed a few weeks ago. I borrowed a dibble from a fellow Iowawhitetailer, worked great. I checked most of my plantings just yesterday after turkey hunting, 90% + are doing well and leafing out!

14 steps, that had to be a rush , and to fill the tag so early in the morning! Congrats

Coralberry/buckbrush. Lots of it on my farm. Forester said to leave it. Native and is a good foodsource/cover for wildlife. I have seen deer browse on it many times. Good cover, its about waist high when full grown.

I was fortunate enough to fill my 3rd season tag Sunday morning. I had gone out Saturday morning on a different farm that I've fill a tag the past two seasons. It was good morning of hearing a few gobbles, seeing a dozen or so deer, and watching a coyote chase deer around in timber. I did have...

I'd say turkey hunting is more enjoyable to me. The weather is more comfortable, dont have to worry about the wind/your scent, they handle hunting pressure better, you can come & go a lot easier. Throw up a blind to bowhunt out of in the middle of a field and they dont care. Hearing gobbles in...

I dont know much, but I just planted/tubed/staked 125 seedlings this past weekend. About 35 swamp white oaks were interplanted in about a 2 acre section of the timber. Winter 2024 I cut and treated all the honeysuckle and multiflora in that section. A lot more sun is getting to the floor now...

My farm has a really good population fall and into winter. Come March it seems they largely transition elsewhere. I'd love to trap if I was closer, daily trap checks are not feasible for me. Overall though driving around the hotspots where I could count on seeing large flocks of birds has...

It might drop rec land prices some. My down payment was largely money I had invested in an individual brokerage account. For some that may have been socking money away into an account to use as a down payment on a farm and were getting close to maybe buying something this spring or this year...
