I want to say a big thanks for serving and defending our nation. I don't take freedom for granted

All three we have issues with. I have actually watched for the first time turkeys fly up and land into the corn wings wide open and knock down corn. I know how to tell the difference from deer and coon damage. Will add most of my damage is from deer

You struck a nerve on me. Last sentence in point no. 2 Kinda hard for farmers to tell the deer not to eat my crops, then I am getting compensated? Now to your point no. 3 You probably have never been in a combine before when it is harvesting. I invite you into my cab and let you look at my...

$3,000 probably in the ballpark for a new one. I pd $1,000 for this 10 years ago. Very heavy duty. Anyway here some pictures if it helps

And the blind squirrel found a nutt. Thanks Skip for all you do and that leads to everyone sharing information to make this forum what it is.

Congratulations Charlie. So fun to watch your kids or grandkids shoot these incredible animals. It even gets way more exciting when your with them at the moment. Love it when family is involved also.

Got some we were fortunate to see at a very young age

So here's a bit of bigger picture for me. There was, maybe still is i don't know but at tax credit of 26%. 1 More big part is I won't b raising hogs for ever when that day happens we probably won't have much of, if any of a power bill. I know this isn't totally "living off the grid" like...

Sorry Bad choice of words using (saved me $3,500). The $3,500 is what I got credit for. I actually produce more that stayed on the farm. My electric bill for April before solar was turned on was $751. Now after the solar was turned the April bill was $340. Falls right in line with what was...

So my power company charges me 9 cents a kwh plus 4 cents for distribution (maintenance fee). When I over produce from my solar and send back on the grid they give me 9 cents. I run as much stuff on sunny days as possible, such as the hammer mill for grinding corn for the hogs. That is 1 way to...

So we put up a 30 KW system in 2021 cost $50 K. We run r farm and house off these panels. If I would have added batteries the price would have doubled. At that time batteries were not the way to go way to expensive. First full year of being on solar I paid $5,000 for my electric bill, Solar...

So one time long ago went to one of my tree stands to find not only a hunter in it , but had his son up in the tree as well. I thought the situation over decided to take a different approach that I normally would have done. I wanted to give him the teachable moment to his son who was probably...

Very dry for us in Michigan. Started planting this spring and had NO rain to stop us. 2 rains totaling 3 tenths. We do have a very good stand but going to reach a point that rain will be needed soon.
