Thank you Skip, I have prowl and s-metolachlor on hand already, I use that for my weed control in soybeans. Again, thank you. This year's planting looks like I planted velvet leaf in the tree/shrub rows. It is as thick as corn is in a corn field. I hand pulled and chopped all weeds in 2'...

Sligh, what do you use for preemerge on your shrubs?

In NE the state big game biologists have defended the Nov. 9 day season's timing as what most people want as it gets to cold in December to have enjoyable hunts, especially for the young and old. They also say most of the hunters want to see deer when hunting and pressures that be want as many...

The ivermectin dosage a vet told me to use is 10 cc mixed with a quart of water, spray that on 50#of feed, mix, let dry and put in feeder. He said do it for May and June and it'd be good to go for summer for the deer that eat it. I went through 500# of corn in this time frame. I bought it via...

I hunt small properties, a 55 and an 80. Basically I hunt the oldest one I got living in the area if he trips my trigger, otherwise I hope someone else hunting the farms get him. I get as much out of others getting their dream buck or doing habitat work as I would from actually getting my...

I have no doubt weather influences horn development/deer health. I look at habitat management as trying to give the does the best nutrition possible throughout the year via mineral, supplemental feeding from Jan- July( treated corn/mixed feed with ivermectin for tic infestations, they look like...

I sprayed 24d on my newly planted miscanthus when it was a foot tall this spring. It worked great on the broadleaves and the miscanthus looks great. It likes a lot of rain to get going and this dry start to the year didn't do it any favors for taking off. I have just shy of a half mile of...

Wow Skip, that is a thing of beauty. Love the story you gave your buddy. Your "Gramps" planter before the crash looked similar to the one we used. I took a couple pics of just the planter. I'll post them up in the near future. That new one your buddy got a hold of looks like a tank. Thanks...

My dad and I got the 1450 trees/shrubs in with the tree planter. It didn't go as smoothly as state forester said it would go. One of the packing wheels was rusted into place and we couldn't get it to move with break free applied as well as a lot of force. I didn't have a source of heat to try...

I did a trial test on some that after 3 years in tubes, after removing tubes, I placed 3 electric fence posts around the trunks of several and left several "naked", none of the trees with posts were rubbed but many of the others were. I will be putting electric fence posts around ones I for sure...

ouc Ouch but those willows will be a good quick fix and I'm sure you'll have cedar backing them no time.

My plan is to go with your suggestion of August hammer time(mow as short as possible, wait a couple weeks, gly bomb it, and drill.. I may do a light oust dusting in April and then in August do the above. I can only plant what the biologist says I can plant. alfalfa, red clover, and oats...

that'll be a good one.

There is also a logistics problem with the farm I'm doing this on being 3 hrs away. I can't just be there at the drop of a hat on days that are best for spraying ect. It has to fit into work schedule. With the crp I'm installing on my farms where I live I have my hands full until May 1st. I...

Thank you Skip. I will try to remember to take some pics. The plowed area for the crp tree planting is going into a corn field but the cedar and miscanthus screens are going into a clover plot edge. The plow broke the soil well but left the clover alive in the plow line. I'm going to 24d the...

Thank you Skip. I appreciate your thoughts. I was thinking the lowest rate as well. The reason I'm not doing it now is that is heavy with brome and nwsg. I don't believe I can get a good enough kill this spring to allow the clover and alfalfa to do well. The nrcs guy wants me to also wait...

I am planting 1450 trees and shrubs next week in a crp project. The nrcs office gave me instructions that I had to rototill the rows for planting to make a better planting bed. I rented one and tilled last November. In my opinion one can't get it deep enough to what it should be for best...

I am pondering if I can use oust xp to kill everything in the firebreak zone of my new crp and then plant in Sept with oats, clover, and alfalfa. I can't find anything on how long the residual is but did find on the label is says grasses can be planted 3 months after application. So, to me oats...

Deerdown, I think you have to own the land for a year before enrolling in crp but check for sure.

Thank you IBO83
