I was a cooperative land owner in this study and got to know McRoberts and more closely the guy in charge of the northern Missouri part of the study. The traps and nets they used were pretty cool to watch. I have referenced the study a few times but one other valuable thing to me that came out...

That first pic looks like solid scericea lesdedeza!!! Kill it and keep after it!! Food plots and herbicide will kill it.

Couple things to note. Big difference from 1980 to now is fixed interest rates. If you have variable rates on land or houses then you missed a golden opportunity!! Some pain will be felt over the next 3 years as interest rates double 3.5 to 7 on variable rates. Lenders and producers are better...

Yep. So you know of the games that are being played. Same scenario can play out even within a county from farm to farm. And yes some farms where high dollar land is moving have 250+ yield history.

Relatively speaking we have saw above average yields for past three years. Crop insurance is based on up to 10 years of actual yields for an average yield at established spring and fall CBOT prices and then times a % percentage of coverage. So 170 yield at spring price of $5.90 at 80% coverage...

Guys your math is off. What you forget about is federally subsidized crop insurance with guarantees this year. Above $770/ac. I’m a lender and the cash is there to prop this thing up for AWHILE. Skip is right to some degree but PROFITS per acre were $300 to $500/ acre the last 2-3 years. And...

I’m in the ag lending field and interest rates don’t matter when the buyer writes a check and doesn’t need financing….. Until the farmers burn through the cash/profits and 1031 exchange money is used up land prices will not back up much. Less desirable tracts will be the first to soften.

And parvovirus is likely present in most areas already, along with mange, it just takes high populations and ideal conditions to work through the high coyote numbers. Just like distemper in coons and EHD in deer.

I think these two points are spot on. I hunt southern Iowa and northern Missouri. Both had enough rainfall but were on the verge of drought. Stress level IMO is a huge factor to antler growth or lack there of. Deer in general did not put on as many inches as they typically do this year. And I...

My quick google search looks like necked to me….

I think he is out looking for Mayorkas and Kamala because they are nowhere to be found…..

That is correct from what I have read and looked at. EHD survivors, typically not many survive, can have hoof issues. From long hooves, completely slugged off hooves etc. The information I have looked into suggest high fevers to be the cause of the hood issues. Pretty common in livestock that...

I edited the post. I originally heard northern Iowa then heard GC area.

Any truth to this? Harvested around Guthrie Center??

I was going to make a similar comment but didn’t know if it was PC. Since when did the deer herd become so liberal…..

Not sure where the deer are but they are not by me. Too windy?? Lockdown?? Several guys saying same thing. Few does and young bucks but mainly early am movement.

I wondered if there was a purpose for the pink….

That sunset is PRETTY!

Historically 11/7 is my best kill date. Does and fawns chased into bedding first hour after light then quiet since then.

Pretty slow yesterday. Had two 3 yo come through lat morning and bed up together by me. Just kind of feeding through. Last night deer moved but does and fawns catching back up to each other from getting chased I assume.
