This. Objective material to educate listeners without pushing a certain agenda will go a long way. Looking forward to attending!

I've planted Real World switch when it was relatively new to the market and still very hyped. It eventually came up fine but not better than Cave-in-Rock or any other brand. Real World is over priced and over hyped for all their products. Even their soybeans and corn which is marketed as having...

Never bad idea. The other side of the farm is loaded with Cedars but this side isn't. Could help to thicken it up some. Thanks.

I have a 2 acre hay field I'm looking to transition into early successional growth for deer habitat next year. Within that I'm planning to plant a few trees, primarily for wildlife benefit. I was thinking 1) Chestnuts 2) Swamp White Oaks. Both fast growing and deer love them. I was also...

I have a farm in northern Missouri and it's definitely a pocket-by-pocket case. In many areas, you can't get away with planting 2 acres or less of a soybean food plot for it gets mowed down before December rolls around. On my farm, the neighboring farmer has historically let the Amish come in...

This exactly. If you think IC or Aimes is Liberal you may need to get out of Iowa a little more.

Interesting. I'm a Tactacam Reveal fan but I can see the case for have a ton of cameras on one or two farms being more cost effective for Cuddelinks. Just a high price tag compared to Tactacams $120.

I have full size Banks blind and am looking to mount it to a trailer to make it more mobile. I'm thinking of mounting it on 4ft 4x4s that angle slightly out from the base if the blind. Does anyone know what width of trailer I would need?

Can you pull that easily with a pickup truck?

This is all great info. I feel much more prepared now. Thanks all! Saving those turkeys one trash panda at a time.

That's what I was leaning towards. Would a package like this one be the most cost efficient option as opposed to buying them all separate? Comes with 3 traps and 3 cables. Not sure if need a ground stake or if most just cable the trap to a nearby tree...

New to trapping and looking to take out some coons to help with the turkey population. Any recommendations on what the best coon trapping starter kit would be? I assume having cables included would be smart? Also, any advice on what bait works best would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great comments, thank you! Yes, definitely thinking of involving a forester and exploring cost share options. I would be taking cattle out permanently as I would like to plant some NWSG on a few of the acres and let the area thicken up some. I love the idea of planting a large diverse mix of...

The timber on my farm (80 acre patch) has long been used for cattle and primarily consists of osage orange trees. I'll be taking the cattle out next year and wanted to understand what would be the best group of tree species to plant to provide the best whitetail habitat? I'm planning on clear...

Thanks, Sligh....very helpful

Yeah, here are the available mixes:

In Missouri. Highly Erodible Land Initiative (HELI) Continuous enrollment program.

Is anyone familiar with what is usually included as part of the 'forbes' in the CRP mixes?

My father is enrolling his highly erodible ground into a CRP program and we have to know what specific mix we're going to use by end of this week. To help with deer habitat i'm recommending a warm season mix of Big Blue, Switch, Virginia Wild Rye, and Forbes. All other warm season mixes have...

I saw the other day that Theisen's sells free form food plot seed. It's stored on large containers and you just pay for pure seed by the weight. Has anyone used this with success (of failure)? Figured this could be a less expensive option compared to buying name brand seed. Looking at planting...
