    Wow Just Wow....... Land Prices

    good post & data. Read through it all & appreciate the perspective. 2 other quick points…. 1) look at the trade deficit with China (this is from Harvard business review) ….. look at the trend & then when trade war started. (& side note- based on that trend & the BS China pulled with...

    Wow Just Wow....... Land Prices

    We got paid on that!!! The tariffs on China were paid directly to farmers, by bushel, on soybeans. I made more on soybeans from Trump than Obama. We reduced trade deficits with China & took in massive tariff income & farmers got paid. Soybeans are way lower now than 3 years ago as well...

    What's next for Republicans?

    This is the media brainwashing taking hold. They tell u everyday he’s horrible & racist, colluding with Russia, should be impeached. The media coverage from DAY 1 was literally over 90% negative. Dems get protected from the media - the media & democrats are one in same. The ESTABLISHMENT of...

    Reality of Land Buying 2000 vs Today

    I say this to people ALL THE TIME!!!!! When it was $______ …. Any price u can point to in past- “too expensive”. “I dont dare pull the trigger”. “Not enough ROI”. Folks said EXACTLY the same thing 24 years ago when prices were possibly the most attractive. & back then- I remember some land...

    Crownvetch again

    Deer will eat but ya- I’d agree I’d pry get rid of it and convert to clovers or alfalfa. I guess I haven’t seen it get out of hand my self. Curious what deer activity is like if u get to observe it.

    Wow Just Wow....... Land Prices

    It’s SLOWING!!!!!! Softening. “What would u offer me on this” is far more frequent from sellers. It’s still tight when multiple neighbors want it and have cash. U watch though…. Status quo…. It’s slowing & price reductions are happening. Theres a pile of dudes I know paying huge cash...

    Reality of Land Buying 2000 vs Today

    “Acres That Can be Purchased 2000: 469 2023: 112 1981: 139” This data set is interesting. 2000 was clearly a very unique & good time to buy. 42 years after 1981 & the amount of acres is not that far off or different. IMO- Cycles in the land have always existed & will continue. One good...

    20 Years of Non Resident Hunting Iowa, My 5th Tag This Year, I'm Psyched!

    Congrats!!!! Hunting in iowa was 100% better 20 years ago IMO. The pressure, lack of access, ehd, everyone “I gotta shoot a buck”, technology, longer seasons & better weapons, etc etc …. no doubt about it - it’s hurt the average farms big league. Ur in a good area & no matter today or 20 years...

    Swamp Bur Oak Hybrid

    Looks great!! So many folks think oaks “take forever” to grow and produce. Not the case!!!! Even the white oak (slowest) can surprise me from time to time how fast they go if they get sun & clearly don’t get messed with.

    Sprayer Recommendations

    Whatever u get… learn how to work on them …. It’s basic plumbing 101 & common sense. Have tons of extra valves, extra hoses, hose clamps, hose connectors, all parts including nozzles, strainers, hose adapters, wiring & even an extra pump around. Anything plastic… it’ll break. When something...

    What's next for Republicans?

    ^^^^. I hear you. Trump isn’t perfect but this is not a big deal IMO. I know R’s are gonna be nervous. The media is getting in folks heads. They are the Democrat party. They are doing what we all know they would do… trying to put lipstick on a pig. For the next 60 days they are going to...

    Anonymous pic thread - "bucks from Saskatchewan" wink, wink.

    Keep em coming. Great!!! How many bucks u usually have to chase on average up there? Are you covering a massive area or how big an area u hunt? So wild to think of the vastness of SK! Some dudes here might be hunting 40 acres while guys up there??? 4000 or 40000?!?!? Or unlimited with...

    What's next for Republicans?

    Totally agree. R’s need to overwhelmingly win so we can get to paper only, day of ballots. Absentee if u can’t vote. What both sides used to agree on…. The way fraud is minimized. Mail in & ballot harvesting - both sides have historically known that’s where fraud happens & elections stolen...

    What's next for Republicans?

    Have 2 ideas I’ve spent some tractor time thinking about…. For Trump campaign… 1) folks who want to do stuff that are from deep red states like iowa (or OH, FL, TX, etc)…. Needs to be a “recruiting system” put in place where they can go help in surrounding swing states. For example…. WI, MN...

    Switchgrass

    I agree. I like it in strips and I do like it for thermal cover, other animals like birds, etc. More bucks or deer use it than I would have guessed though. I combined seed heads several times on solid switch. “No beds” & “no deer in it”. Until I drove the combine right to a deer…. Busted up...

    Land Clearing

    Ahhh. A little thicker & bigger than I imagined ;). Ya- that’s gonna take a while! Hopefully u find someone to give u a bid. I personally would be ok with “by the hour” if I found trusted good operator but doesn’t mean u can get what u want. Fire back on how much this costs. Now my wild...

    Land Clearing

    Do u wanna row crop it? Or re-enroll? Either way- that’s super easy. Ur best options are a dozer guy who is super careful & puts top soil back in place OR a mulcher on a skid steer. Small stuff with dozer hardly touches top soil but I’d still get it back on. If it’s re-enrolled CRP...
