You will have to keep the foxtail mowed about every 3-5 days to keep it from going to seed unless things really get dry. It will just keep producing seed heads, lower and lower. Ill try and snap some pictures the next time I am at the farm. My problem now is, I think the switch is too thick that...

I wouldn’t waste my time or money. Ran into this exact scenario 6-7 years ago. Talked to Paul, and he said don’t worry about it. It won’t be a problem the next year. He was exactly right. I had 14 acres of foxtail the first year and very little switch. I mowed it a few times and let it go. The...

Have you used them? Do they pack well into a bag?

My 5 year old reconyx hyperfire started having some problems this past fall/winter. Wouldn’t turn on and wouldn’t always save the images to the SD card. I contacted the company, saying that I have updated the firmware and even purchased new sd cards. They told me to send it in and gave me an...

I’m not sure but they don’t or can’t test fawns in MN. I don’t think it’s detectable in deer younger than 9 months old.

I just read the Treflan label, maybe I’m overalls cautious but it doesn’t say it will work with turnips/radish. Says it will work to prevent wild radish and wild turnips from germinating. We no till everything. So organic matter is pretty heavy. Sounds like this product doesn’t so well with OM...

Has anyone tried using a pre emergent this late in the summer for a brassica food plot? Ideally it would have been done 2 months ago.

I agree with this. If you feel like beating your head into a wall. You should listen to what the big game coordinators in MN have to say about deer management. Throw in CWD and bad management turns into a whole new level of bad management. If Iowa increases NR tags in CWD zones it’s gonna get...

That looks awesome, how old is that? Have you ever experienced winter kill?

Fortunately I can’t blame it on a lack of moisture. It grew well last year during its first season. I have no clue but I’m guessing winter kill? About half of the plants that were alive last fall, are growing this spring. A real bummer.

Went and checked the miscanthus that I planted last spring over the weekend. I can see where I planted them from last year as I can see the stalks. From the looks of it, I would say less than 50% has any new growth in the second growing season. Anyone else experience this in th first few growing...

What would you use for pre emergent, or maybe you have if you were no tilling beans in the spring and possibly convert some of the heavily browsed areas to brassicas later in the summer.

Has anyone planted radishes after using Prowl. Been doing some reading on it but couldn’t find if it was safe to use before planting radishes. Sounds like turnips are safe to use.

Where I hunt in MN feeding/mineral licks are now prohibited. CWD is all around, and one was detected on our farm. I had 4-5 pretty good sized mineral licks 2-3’ feet deep in the ground. I cut down a bunch of junk trees around the licks, completely filled them in with limbs/branches. Then dropped...

Trust me on this. I would rather pay off the house this year than invest in a money pit. I mean camper. But the wife makes a lot more money than me so... there’s that. At least it will be a lot closer to my dads farm so I will be able to spend more time there. We are looking at a bumper hitch...

We put our name on a permanent camping waiting list last fall. Usually it takes 3-5 years to get a spot. Well they called, and we have a spot for this season. Currently we do not own a camper. Any advice on brands, what to look for when purchasing? What to stay away from? We are wanting a...

I should rephrase my comments. That was all directed to summer time feeding. Beans in the winter would not last around here.

Agree 100%. From everything I have seen in SE Minnesota, in the past 10-15 years the deer definitely do not hit the beans like the use to. Not even close. Back in the day in the day if you had beans in the right location every buck in the area would be there. 10-20 wasn’t out of the question. It...

Unfortunately I’ve tried the 2-4d liberty route as well with the same kind of results. Keep in mind for every using liberty for the first time. Read directions and make sure your sprayer is setup accordingly. Pig weed is bad. It’s so bad that after my last cutting on My clover the pigweed with...

I am having the same problem. Once you have pigweed good luck getting rid of it. Was talking with an agronomists last winter. He was talking about using Dual. He was gonna do some more research and get back to me. Last year I planted beans so I was able to hit the pigweed pretty hard with gly a...
