Just put winter rye, oats, peas and clover in one of my small plots that ended up in grass & weeds after two months of rain & not being able to get to it so pretty similar mix. It’s what I had on hand, will see…

Exactly what I did yesterday. So much rain so often this year my small plots got away from me. A couple spots I’ll have to do over…

Nice!

Zero turn mowers can flip over. If you know anyone that is using one without the ROPS or not using the ROPS, please talk to them. Mowing around ponds is inherently and especially dangerous. I apologize if I am preaching to the choir. Looks like there are some better options…

Do you just leave the rye or terminate at some point? I threw some rye into some grazing alfalfa that didn’t do much for a year. With the rye and more fertilizer it REALLY took off…interesting…

Bucks seem to cover an awful lot of ground in the breeding season. Apart from screening your personal property, my thought would be to encourage as many neighbors as possible to help patrol. Thank you for sharing your experiences on this topic. I’m absolutely convinced poaching is a FAR worse...

Speaking of packing, when the ground is dry my ATV pull behind cultipacker does compress fully into the soil, it rides on the ribs. Do the CAT 1 & 3 pt hitch style fully compress to the flats easily? If so, I’m interested.

Would broadcast & cultipack yield results as good as drilling right now. Spray roundup before seeding?

Congrats

Congrats

Nice, I might be looking for same drill this fall…

What does the cost per acre work out to be?

Congrats to Dakota!

Just finished up doing a lot of girdling & cutting smaller trees (1-3” dia.) for one of my 2025 projects. Thought I’d mention this saw since I use it a lot also & it’s quite a bit more affordable than my Stihl professionals… Echo CS-271t, 27cc @ 6.6 pounds, runs great with a sharp 12” blade.

Congrats!

Congrats to Luke!

Portions of our farm were mulched for autumn olive and the regrowth was not sprayed. Autumn olive will come back with a vengeance. Big mistake.

Interesting observation regarding the declining insect population. I remember as a child not going barefoot in the yard for fear of getting stung by honey bees and catching grass hoppers by the hundreds in a single day. I’m hoping to get a pollinator plot established this year to try to do my part.

I have degenerative disc disease. A pound or two matters…

Stihl 201 T-CM for smaller stuff & Stihl 261 C-M for medium stuff… They are both awesome saws!!! I’ll edit to add if you’re looking for a lightweight saw, the 201 is a much better choice. I love the top handle. It’s very lightweight, it cuts like an animal and you’d swear it’s a bigger saw .
