In MN (1 buck state) you can get an extra doe permit if you own over (I think) 80 acres. That also comes with the caveat that you're supposed to allow the public to hunt your land if they ask. Absolute insanity.
MN is a one buck state with a gun season during the middle of the rut. As long as ya'll aren't dumb enough to implement those regulations, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Spring planted clover for me has worked best to use oats as a cover crop, then mow the oats right after they form a seed head.
Method I've used is to till the ground to break up sod layer, broadcast oats, cultipack oats into the soil, then broadcast clover. Works every time with spring rains...
I bought mine last spring from Albert Lea seed. They were one of very few suppliers that had any available at the time. I want to say it was $16 or $17/pound
Non-resident here who has never hunted Iowa. I have land across the river in WI and to the north in MN. For those reasons i didn’t participate in the poll.
I have a few questions -
What is a "celeb" tag?
Are the landowner tags restricted to residents only or can a NR land owner get a tag...
Here is some RC BigRock in 1st year establishment last year. Planted on June 18 along with the adjacent pollinators mixes. In the background you can see 3rd year CIR switch.
Due to habit, I mowed the Big Rock twice in year one, but it was a vigorous grower and I easily cut a foot or more off...
The most important time for chemical use is before the planting. A clean seed bed is critical. My guess is based on what you've stated, the stuff you planted in the first year after discing likely all got shaded out and died. It sounds like you did a better job of keeping it short last year with...
I would mow the switch to the dirt or close to it some time in April. This will allow you to carve out the area of switch exactly the way you desire for your bean planting. Then when the switch starts to germinate, hit it with gly. This should burn down and allow you to disc/till and plant beans...
I would leave the furthest outside ones standing as they are the likeliest to have cover. I'm sure the interior cedars with no sunlight have cast all their lower needles.
If broadcasting seed, I believe it is recommended to seed at 1.5 times the normal rate. I would personally explore all options before deciding to broadcast.
If you decide broadcasting is the only route, I would at a minimum cultipack it when the ground is thawed for better seed to soil contact.
