I have found zero but I’ve yet to have a single year in 15 or so years without finding some. I had one big buck drop off the cams about 4 weeks ago… I’d lay a nickel he’s dead & it’s ehd. Over time - it’ll lessen as resistance and antibodies produced. The big wild card is IF/WHEN a new...

I could hardly afford a harrow when I started!!! If u patient - u might find a good old used one at auction or something. I got a 5’ tye drill for like $500 a while back. Bet u find good old used one for few grand if u took time to shop. Not sure on above & look forward to feedback as well...

Very few. Here’s difference…. Iowa is/was about 10-20 years behind other states. Plots, leasing, access to land, OWNING LAND SO U CAN HUNT, u name it!!! In 1990’s in MI…. “Most guys” who owned a farm for hunting (and a lot did back then in MI !!! Not so much in iowa) ….. I’d say most had...

1995…. I was 15-ish (my mom had to drive me around)…. Bag of sugar beet seed & a rake. Went to the middle of the forest & spent day scratching soil & putting SB seed down. Don’t recall seeing even a sprouting plant. ;). Everyone thinks the food plot stuff is super recent. It was pretty big...

few days after a rain- u will know how u are setting for success/failure. It’s a pain in rear but if folks do have failure- can still get in dbltree mix. Worth it big time. Or at least spread rye in bare areas. If they on decent soil & don’t die of course- bet they bounce back. & yes-...

SE one for sure. I’d ask for legal fine print on acceptance of this deal here…. Has to be a statute of limitations to this offer - when that expired- I’d buy the other 3 parcels. ;) Reason- barometric pressure rising & lowering temps usually come with n to west winds. Se is clearly better for...

My favs are anything with jake. I like all the habitat podcasts too - there’s like 3-4 main ones & they all have a really nice spin to things & great ideas. Nine finger chronicles. Whitetail legacy, etc etc. Of course I like MW. The Prairie farm podcast- really good…. Listen to last weeks...

Fire back on how it goes. I’ve never had much luck with imox but i know others have. If it fails- use Butyrac. Curious how it goes.

Can u post some pics up? Take some soil samples too. we’ve done alfalfa but it was after they “put top soil back” to some degree. If it’s junk rock - much harder. I don’t think you will find a farmer - unless you rent it for free. Depends how rough. Could seed down to some natives &...

July- kill. Seed very late July or early August. Goals, weather & zone dependent.

I used to buy those huge “nails” from Menards. This was like 25-30 years ago. Not super safe & they stay in tree but kinda funny what a broke kid will do to save some $. Your idea is far better!!!!

Debate is a nothing-burger. No matter who u liked…. We all know Trump & we’ve got 3.5 years of Harris. This election is gonna boil down simple IMHO: his 4 years vs her 4 years. Period. Which u want more of? The problem bills in the state of iowa ARE brought by a handful of bad R’s...

Plant em!!!!!! Having some is great!!! It’s kinda like “cedar” …. Too many can be out of control but I’d never go without them. Hardy tree. Takes a lot to kill one. Feeds the deer. Crazy good cover. Get after it for sure!!!!

Really good ?!!!!!!! 1) they are not complex. A planter is much harder to work on. Drills are for sure more basic…. Chain drive system that just meters seed out as u go. Few big metal boxes, some tubes, etc. Changing clutches, chains, bearings & OPENERS is main things & it’s pretty rare I’m...

Holy cow!!!! Jackpot!!!!!! U hit a key point…. He has problems with coyotes & badgers…. YOU took the time to help his problem. Which to him is work & u show up to solve it. Makes it way easier for him to say yes to hunting. You know this but the more the general public figures it out- they...

Hopefully some of this helps some folks. Tried to hit the most common ?’s or thoughts around no till. Drills, why, how, what to plant, etc etc etc. FYI.

DITTO!!!! ^^^^^BUCK ROAR!!!!

Very loosely off the cuff…. Farms in iowa with say half timber & half ag (which is not majority of state!!!) …. the land can hold for ONLY health of herd…. Per square mile Very low: 5-25 Medium: 26-50 High: 50-75 “Too high”: 100+ Few points…. 1) is a dude leaving tons of standing food & tons...

Anyone around Putnam county MO? Buddy has a water hole he needs filled. If anyone has a tank or way to fill it- I told him I’d reach out to see if anyone wants to make some $. It’s 200 yards off road- easy to fill. “I’ll pay well” he said ;). Anyone around that area - fire back. Easy $.

Yep. Be just fine!!
