I was thinking he was wanting to stay at his new farm long term, or permanently since he was back closer to home? Otherwise, I agree. That valley makes access brutal. Everything watches you come and go..

In my experience, and on our MO farms, its pretty simple: - More does = more bucks. - More bucks = more good bucks. When the population gets too high, shoot does. The buck population will eventually follow your doe control efforts though. If not, mother nature will correct if it goes too...

With planting that much food, and the massive improvement of great habitat through his plantings, burns, etc. I think he knows the population will explode. He is also trying to buy a little time to let his plantings get established before a larger herd is "released" on them.. My thoughts...

I don't see any clover. I would nuke the CSG with gly, disc or till the field, broadcast rye, cultipack, broadcast clover seed and cultipack again. Tiny seed likes a prepared seedbed.

Perfect timing!

Since the "hunting industry" are a bunch of sellouts.. I wonder if any of them have been bought by special interest groups hellbent on reducing deer numbers? Nah.. That would never happen.

Muddy. Simple and works.

What variety of sunflowers are those?

Did you adjust for inflation? IE - If equal to $29,000 today, it would mean land was undervalued in 2000, and higher today. 1981 falls somewhere in between..

Patience grasshopper.. ;) You have some healthy looking milo plants in there. You should get some nice heads on those. FWIW, grasses don't seem to have the yield drag on milo like they do corn. Your mix is going to create some great fall, winter cover!

+1. Transport is also a PITA.

Ditch the oats and plant Rye instead. 3x the thatch amount easy ;)

That second photo looks like great cover.. buck paradise. The others look fairly open once the leaves fall. A mulcher head would be nice to create some trails and pockets of new growth. Decent amount of time if you want to remove all 8 acres though..

I'm assuming you're referring to UAN 32-0-0 (Ammonium Nitrate) in liquid form. I think you'd have to keep your application pretty light to prevent leaf burn (less than 20# N / acre?). A safer bet would be coated Urea or AMS right before a rain to prevent leaf burn. Sorghums/Corn tend to...

Haven't seen a single poult on camera yet. A few turkeys though here and there. Saw a single hen in our field yesterday, possible she had some tiny ones that I didn't see.

If you're shipping anything of much weight, it's going to be sky high. Personally, I buy my brassica mixes online, and then cereal grains, peas, etc locally. Can mix your own. This keeps the cost reasonable, since brassica # / acre are quite small. Albert Lea Seed, Merit Seed and...

July 28th, 2024 20" of rain later... and its chest high! :D Excellent deep green color - Very happy plants. Most in boot stage now, should have a great stand come this fall. Can tell where the drill misses spots here and there, a good row planter would do wonders for this crop. Still I...

Agree. Coated urea still has substantial losses if left out in the heat.

Non-volatile.. hmm. Tough for Nitrogen. Options (From most to least volatile) : - Coated Urea (46-0-0) - Granular broadcast - UAN (36-0-0) - liquid - AMS (22-0-0-26S) - Granular broadcast (fertilizer grade - Should have a gray color)

+1. Drag will help pull some of the thatch loose..
