Really glad I asked. Appreciate it guys!

I read somewhere that a guy takes manure and mixes it 50/50 with dirt from the hole to pack around the roots. I wonder if that would be a good route to go.

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...

For chestnuts, does anyone have any thoughts on Japanese vs Chinese vs hybrids? And planting- fall vs spring? Timing conditions?

That is WILD. Needed a GoPro on that rodeo...

Same story here. One site and before season I'll cover it with a pallet or two, then a tarp over top and secure it with a few stakes or big rocks.

In the last 4 days I've had 7 different 3-5 year olds and a couple two year olds on cam holding both sides still. Pretty wild.

This is an interesting conversation. Is "investor" turning into a bad word? What defines "investor"? Seems a lot of us fall into that category. I think there's a clear distinction from investment capitol groups buying up land (and single family home, for that matter) and someone using land as an...

Pretty sure the county rental rate average and CRP practice have more to do with the rate than CSR but I could be wrong.

Are the toxins alfalfa specific, or will they kill off any other plant too?

I'm going to be trying to revive a neglected alfalfa plot this spring. New farm so I don't have much backstory on it. It was RR alfalfa but it's super sparse and I believe it's pushing 5 years old at this point. I'm considering frost seeding some red clover, soil sampling, seeing what comes to...

I'm in the same boat on about 12 ac. Should never have been turned into ag field by the previous owner, way too sloped. I've called FSA on every signup the last two years and gotten the same response- nothing we can do until an updated Farm Bill. It's a constant reminder how useless our...

I posted about a mature buck that dropped back in December but since then I've noticed very few shed bucks and I'd say 90% of the 3+ y/o bucks I'm keeping an eye on or have been regular on camera are still holding and confirmed within the last week or so.

Sounds great. I will certainly be reaching out to Lindsay and go from there!

Thanks guys! We likely aren't looking to log anytime soon, the previous owners did a select cut before listing. It is what it is. I'm mainly looking at overall forest condition, species make up, tips on how to improve and maintain, maybe an EQIP contract next year for some TSI, cedar management...

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 do agree that something needs addressed. I've always been one of "less government intervention" but I do believe it's gotten out of hand. I hope to make it to the DNR meeting or two in my area and press for more COs and addressing drones and thermal/NV/IR. I think there's a lot to be said...

Last summer my buyer gave me $10/lb. Mostly fresh, medium sized, but some 1 year old.

Is there a variety of clover that works best for frost seeding or establishing a clover plot? I have 1 ac that was a super sparce brassica plot that I'd like to convert to clover. Soil should be perfect as far as prep. Red? Ladino? A mix?
