A lot are shedding now. Saw scrapes. I watch them & see their aggression change like a light switch. Bet some “good buddies” are breaking their bachelor groups up soon here. This is also a time that makes me nervous with midges & ehd with all the blood from shedding velvet. But…. Healthy...

All those are good & one critical addition is a mix of cool season grasses. U can order “water way mixes” & usually farm stores have them. Stuff like brome, fescue, etc. Great on holding soil. About the only time I’m ever planting cool seasons is to hold soil. Mix it in with oats, rye...

I am drilling. Causing soil to be slightly buried & packed tight. Clearly this is going to allow for best germination. A minimal till drill is a cheap way to accomplish this btw. Next method I’ll do is broadcast & run over with cultimulcher. Very close 2nd for germination & results. Last-...

Brassicas are one type of seeding where simple germination is the most important issue. Once they get going - they chase moisture down. IMO- they are extremely resilient at hanging on until the next rain. I’ve “NEVER” had a a brassic failure. My “fine print” is extremely important & probably...

What kinda oats u do & how late they generally last up there? Guessing that’s a burr oak. Seen acorns coming down this weekend!!!! Oh man, time is coming!!!

Been there. I’ve sold “killer farms” to get closer to home so that part I do agree with. As I get older- I want to drive less & actually hunt on fewer farms. It limits my success obviously but I know how age changes the goals. Closer is huge. Even my goals of what I own has changed…. I’d...

I love it!!!!! Did you use round up ready or did you use herbicides like treflan, etc etc? & ample nitrogen I assume? Ton of value in nutrition & tonnage right there!!!!

Drive in the middle of the right lane on 35-45mph high traffic areas. Folks LOVE that!!! When they see that decal- will drive folks to this site! ;). Looks good!

Had 2 on cam fighting last night. & saw multiple scrapes while doing farm chores. Testosterone is on the rise! :)

Good buys are happening. For sure more than 1-2 years ago. Wanted to make a quick point …. Actually 2…. 1) Agree on above: BUY YOUR FARM - PULL THE TRIGGER if u able! I’ll always say that for the right people though. Never too late. 2) MAIN POINT!!!!…. Right now in the AG side of it…...

Holy cow- lot of guys came to pick them up. I think all that I set out at my driveway got snagged. If anyone else needs any- I can set more out or tell u where to get them behind house. Not all will make it. Replant the ones that die!!! NEVER GIVE UP!!!! I will refund all your $ on the ones...

EVERY YEAR!!!!!! Little rain or ample rain. Little rain: more ehd & bigger outbreaks. This sucks but…. A little ehd is a “good thing”. Means virus is running through herd & immunity will be built over time. In 15 years- I don’t think I’ve seen one year where there was zero ehd around me...

Cooler temps. 100% imo. & any time it’s cooler- my hypothesis would be: the bell goes off in their head… summer is coming to end & they need to bulk up big time before fall/winter. Seeing Same thing. Watching 4-5 good bucks out my window right now :) Instant photo, live…. 7:36 cst This is...

Looks like last week vs last year!!! Wow. Sure looks like it. Angle and everything.

Deal!! I’m not far off that route. Shoot me a PM here & I’ll make sure I have em set out for u.

Wish. About a 2.5 hour drive. Why I sold over there ;). If I do- I’ll bring some with.

If a few members need any- I can set some out. Urbandale area. I have plenty ;). No charge. See what demand is like - I got homes for em but like helping folks out…. Lemme know & I’ll set some out u can grab at your convenience.

I see a lot of them in iowa. Dead on road & early hours in stand. Guessing they are more nocturnal but maybe I’m wrong. Big huge holes in some terraces too!

That’s a heck of a lot of work & amazing looking results!!!! Legit!!!!! So great when u say “done! Let’s hunt”. Congrats & u deserve all the luck a guy can get with that kinda effort, wow!!

this was my daily text from one place I sell grain to. $3.67 on corn & $9.16 on beans If it stays like this (not saying it will or won’t) or slides some more - sure looking like a big repeat of 2015-ish when prices got cut in half - much like this. Tillable around me softened a LOT...
