once again I am not an expert but I would guess pauls response will look something like this. Quote: <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset" class=alt2> Plant...

I am no expert but your alice white choice is about the best. I dont know if adding another variety would "pull" more deer in. I think it is hard to beat white clovers.

I figured I would take some pictures and post up my switchgrass plantings this year. I am curious to see what I find out. I have 2 areas that I am seeding into switch this year. The first one is at my house along my driveway(north central iowa). It is about an acre and has always been cropped...

I would look into having somebody stock it that have high quality fish. Yes the fish from the DNR are free but they dont have the genetics that you can buy for fairly cheap if it is just 1/2 an acre. You are talking roughly $80 for bluegills $50 for bass and $50 for catfish. You could add in...

I am wondering how much snow is on the ground south of des moines? I wanted to get down and frost seed some switchgrass this weekend but didn't want to make the drive if there is too much snow

I couldn't help but notice your location, east central iowa. I live in central iowa and have had really good luck planting clovers turnips etc without fertilizing. I own a few farms in southern iowa and tried that there and have had horrible luck. I would soil sample at the very least and...

I would skip step 3 and be patient on step 5. I frost seeded and sprayed switch last year and had flowing fields of foxtail most the year. Now that the foxtail is knocked down I can see the switch all through out. This coming year should be great.

Sounds like par for the course. One plot of brassicas every couple years will get used just not heavily. I think that is why Paul preaches everything in 1 plot so the deer use it and you eventually adapt them to using that field. It makes perfect sense if there is food there 2 months a year...

Just thought I would let everyone know gurneys has winter rye on sale right now!!!!!! It is marked down to the special price of $14.99/lb and will cover an amazing 5,000 sq feet. Don't hesitate order today. I can't believe what some people will buy.

Has anyone ever frost seeded into corn stalks? I had a buddy asking me about it and I have never done it

Hey Tim, I converted a cool season crp field last year to nwsg. The nrcs office was more than willing to work with me and had no problem changing the seed plan. The only draw back to it was that they would only do cost share that was equal to the cost of the coolseason mix. I planted a mix that...

Hey guys just wondering if any of you got much for snow? We have got pry 4-5 inches and it is still snowing. Just wondering if the rye mix gets covered up how well the deer dig for it? I am adding it to my plot next year just wondering how well it attracts them after snow?

I pulled a card the other day and was kinda suprised to get this pic. I guess the weather can confuse the animals too.

I planted some rye in sept that never got rained on until mid nov it was a bare field until about half way through december. Now it is all sprouted and the whole field has a little green tint to it.

plant some winter rye mixed with some versa grass. The rye will green up fast and the grasses in the versa grass mix will soon follow establishing a permanent stand.

What did you get for a scope and rings? I have a dpms 308 I am still trying to set up. I have all kinds of gift cards now after christmas. Looking to buy them soon.

It is like you read my mind. I am sitting here today going through what to plant next year and when to plant it and at what rates. I have an 11 acre field that is gonna be my hotspot from now on. I was trying to decide how to break it down and then you post this:way:. This is what I am thinking...

Thanks guys
