So early this winter we did a garage clean out/organization day and my wife put my tote of chemical in our outdoor storage area and I hadn't noticed until now. No protection from the temps. Will this affect their effectiveness, potency, etc? It was gly, 2-4-D, liquid AMS and surfactant...

Morse Hills sells "Nutra Pro" that is a slow release 16-8-8 fertilizer packet, and also a 3-10-11 BioRush "booster" mixable liquid. Blue Hill Wildlife sells 0-20-20 pellets. What has everyone had experience with? I'm getting ready to try my hand at pears and chestnuts in April and want to make...

Anyone have a recommendation for a forester to use in far SW IA or NW MO? It looks like Sarah Barney in Riverton is the closest DNR forester, anyone had good or bad experiences? What about a private option? We are about to close on a new piece that is mostly timber. Any thoughts on "first things...

I hope this link works. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AePw8AG73/?mibextid=wwXIfr "So you can hunt predators and hogs at night"...with a bow...

An interesting graphic I received in an email today. Water quality is as hot of a topic in this state as the deer population and big bucks are in this forum. There are some connections to the two. This map shows the decrease in CRP buffer strips in the DSM watershed. Almost 11,000 acres lost...

Hey all, this isn't exactly farm related but I thought some of the "land wiz kids" with more experience than me on here might have some input. I have the opportunity to buy a small chunk of land off market that has a small shop and small house. The land and shop is exactly what my wife and I are...

I'd like to hear from some people who have first-hand experience with self directed IRAs focused on farmland. What's your story? Pros and cons? Things you would do again, or wouldn't do again? Things you didn't know that you learned? I've done a bit of research and started discussions with my...

I'm adding a beautiful little 1ac clover field that would be perfect for adding a water hole, any tips and tricks? How big is too big? Has anyone used a pond liner like they have for landscaping instead of rubbermade troughs?

I've heard people swear by AMS, some don't use it. My question for those who are- what exactly do you use and what does your mixture look like in relation to gly/roundup? My project- I have 5 acres of native grass planting. It's been burned at the end of March and I'm getting ready to hit it...

Anyone have any details on this introduced bill? I'm being told it would be an amendment to the state constitution to remove IWILL completely. Subcommittee meeting tomorrow, Feb 19th at 11:30am. Room G15. I'm trying to move some stuff around to attend.

Calling all farm experts! We have a farm in Nebraska that we have always done a crop share situation with the neighboring farmer and it has worked out great but he is growing and wanting to move towards a cash rent situation for this next year. We've liked having a hand in the farm operation but...

Anyone heard about these bills? Sounds like it's a retooling of the anti-public land acquisition bills that always pop up. The way I read them, they're even worse than the wording on last sessions bill. I just got an email from BHA this morning and the subcommittee on SSB 3129 already happened...

I have a 3/4 acre field I'd like to try to fence this summer/early fall while the beans are growing. It'll be my first time trying this,, any tips? I've heard some people say it needs to be hot, some say it doesn't. Thoughts? Any tips on equipment/items needed?

I placed an order for two shirts but they must've been out of the sizes I needed. Skip was nice enough to refund my order besides shipping, and sent me two other shirts they had in stock, but neither of these will fit me or my wife. I can't just throw these away so I figured I'd pass Skip's...

I was having a discussion with a friend about his property and thought I'd ask the forum gurus. He has ~70 acres in south central IA that he recently purchased. Mostly timber but there are 3 small fields, about 4 acres each. They were clear cut at some point and turned into ag, but the soils are...
