Cattle have been keeping succession from taking place in those open areas. When you take that grazing disturbance away, the cycle begins and if left alone, those areas will generally blow up with woody species that are hanging on in the seed bank. Often your locust, piss elm, hackberry...

Has there always been cattle on this piece, or is there crop history? I ask because I have dealt with similar situations many many times and SOMETIMES, no seed is required. A few late spring burns OR a mow, spray, burn might encourage some good stuff that is hanging on. That being said, I can...

With 60 acres you can plant a little bit of everything. Trees on the ridgetops, shrubs along drainages or gullys, plant some blocks of switchgrass for dense cover and plant a diverse native mix everywhere else. You could legitimately expect to kill deer, turkeys, waterfowl and upland birds on a...

Francis, don't overlook the "little" spots. Hidden gems, oft ignored because everyone gets a hard on for the big pieces. I would scout for any buck sign while shed hunting and not worry much if you don't see deer or find antlers. I am a resident with access to some good private land, and still...

It is upsetting that you even had to defend your decision. I say congrats. Some folks high horses are many hands tall. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

You're short of the legal orange! I get a vest or coat might get weird in the hot tub but the law is the law! Maybe turn up the heat. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Nice buck, Brent. You and late Nov. go together like PB&J. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Nice buck! Only way that buck makes it past me is if I miss! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

A friends dad took one over to the Ridgeport Locker by Boone to have one done last year. Seemed cheap and they did a good job. Not sure the setup - if it is the locker or a taxidermist connected with them. Would be worth a call. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Congrats fellas. Will be letting my own 11 year old read this. Great inspiration. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Most of these programs have ownership restrictions. You can't simply purchase and "flip" into an easement - at least not with WRP. CREP I am not as sure about. They have to be owned for several years before eliguble. We would have even larger voids in public land in Iowa without this structure...

https://www.fsmfg.com/atv-utv-sprayers/ I got one of the 100 gal utv sprayers with 12 ft booms about 5 years ago and it has been indestructible. It's had some mods over the years including adding a retractable reel and sizing up all hoses and fittings. They have centrifugal pumps and Honda...

Cultimunchers are awesome both before and after seeding. Like skip said, can remove heavy thatch, almost like adding a landscape rake to a packer. We use in tandem with a disc or tiller to prepare seedbeds and I think that is where they really shine, as they pack loose stuff firm but leave a...

Don't you run the risk of the rye using up nitrogen rather than fixing it if seed reaches maturity? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I would not trust this seller. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Any of you ever worry about residual effect of 24d when following up a spray application with a seeding? I have always worried it would hurt germination therefore avoid its use, at times, when my windows are tight. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Switch has hard seed coats that really soften up with freeze/thaw. That is a likely culprit for such slow germination in your potted plants. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Jordan, any advice on the crotch angle training? I have a few pears and plums that need to start branching 'out' vs. straight up. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I have always wanted to try virginia wild rye in a scenario like this. I know of a few remnant populations of vwr growing amongst old oaks, ash, walnuts etc., and the deer hammer it in the spring/fall. Does all hide their fawns in it too. Grows new leaves after it seeds out and stays green late...
