How are Banks at containing scent with the windows closed? I have a couple of Rednecks that I'm able to hunt when the wind is 100% wrong but thought I may try a Banks if they are equally as good at scent containment.

So my plan to frost drill switch went pear shaped when a foot of snow melted and created mud in a 10 day period. Planting into a a field that was beans last year and have been stratifying my switch via the freezer. Is planting now a reasonable plan if I have it hit with gly/atrazine at...

Interesting article. I'd say we are firmly in the explosive phase on rec ground, at least in the midwest. Many don't even get listed before they are sold. The question is how will rec farms be affected during the recession stage? They did not go down in North MO when everything went pear...

I'm planting into bottom field that was in beans last year so it will be quite muddy with the melting snow. Would you guys "frost" seed now or wait until the field dries and drill switch in late April or May? I'm leaning towards plan B so I can meter out the seed better. Either way I'll be...

The fighting they refer to is likely the non-resident landowner tag discussions........

FSA told me that rates will likely go up next year. We debated on waiting a year but decided not to roll the dice. My county has the lowest rates in Northern MO. I have a contract expiring in 2024 in another county so hopefully they will up signifcanlty by then.

With that size pond I'd add some muskies, just for fun.

I didn't think so either but the customer service person said it was grown in PA.

What are the thoughts between seed grown in same regional ecotype of the planting versus seed grown out east? A few of the locals have limited inventory and I'd have to confirm where they source. Ernst out east has both CIR and Shawnee.....1/2 the price as well, but no Kanlow. I'm...

A mix is a good idea. Thanks gents.

Has anyone planted Shawnee Switchgrass? Cave in Rock seems like the standard in the midwest but I recently saw some youtube videos touting Shawnee. I'm going to plant some switch this spring in North MO in an area that can be wet in the spring. Ernst recommended Shawnee over Cave in Rock for...

Sounds great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She mentioned something about additional points being added which must have been the cost points you mentioned. Is the $124.00 rate you reference the rate at which new contracts would be signed up for? If so your area of MO pays a lot higher than mine!

I just talked to the FSA. We have a total of 55 acres expiring of typical North MO ground that shouldn't be farmed. Options: we could add 5.5 acres (10% of our acreage) in CP43 in the general program which would add 15 points to our EBI score. I don't believe adding more than 10% increases...

I asked about continuous and she indicated they aren't a good fit on this farm.

We are at 173 points. Thoughts on whether this will get us in? I'd hate to offer a lower rate since we are already taking a 15% haircut on that and lost some acres due to brush creep.

Grim! Are you in SEMN?

I was told we won't get cost share if reseed into the same seed point mix as the contract that is expiring. Did you the the same guidance?

Great season for me but didn't shoot a buck. Learned some new areas and reinforced the need to get off plots when the does really start getting harassed. Most important goal for 2021 is getting neighbors on board with putting some high potential bucks on the do not kill list, especially 3...

Do you think our EBI 20 point standing WSG mix as is will get er done?
