Thanks Dbltree I have two other fields that I will be planting a rape/turnip mix in. Could I add red clover over the top of them also, to have a spring green up and adding N to the ground…

dbltree Couple questions. What would the seeding rate for AWP, Rye, Oats and Red Clover be per acre? Also, I am hoping to plant Buckwheat late June, prior to APW/Rye/Oat/Clover planting in early September. Is two months of BW enough time to help with weeds and soil? Thanks

I was able to disk up little field that I want to plant rye/rape/turnips in this fall. Thinking of broadcasting some red clover tomorrow and packing it. Would medium red fight off weeds well, help feed the wildlife and get nitogen into the soil for my fall planting? Thanks the the advice....

Thanks Thanks Dbltree. I'll see how my 1/2 alfalfa arce field looks like next week. Wife picked up 3 3lbs bag of Tecomate chicory for $7 each. Will likey add some to clover and alfalfa fields next week. I think I will try the falcata this fall. If I remember correctly it can also handle ph in...

Which Alfalfa..... Dbltree Is that the alfalfa from russia that is greening up already? If I remember correctly that alfalfa is a one cut and stays green well into winter. Kinda thinking of maybe a fall planting of an acre to see how it goes...

Oh Man Oh Man...strike two...Osenbaugh's is right by our farm. Planting CIR is on the list, but not at the top. With the $4:50 price it quickly went to the top. Now back to soil adjustments for planting fields and getting a different area ready for a CIR planting next winter. If anyone hears...

Fyi I just spoke to Mary of PF in NE. The price is not $4:50 a pound, but $10:95 per pound. So much for my 60 pound order. Is their someone else I need to talk too???

CIR Storage Will CIR seed last till next Feb? I plan on mowing/spraying this spring/summer/fall and planting next late winter. Is there a method for storage? Thanks

April 22, 2008 after almost 21 years and 8 days after “ your doing a great job, here’s a raise” I get the sorry we don’t need you anymore, over the phone. Now I don’t want to change this thread, but for any unemployed person out there, here’s my two cents… First the support of family and...

Re: Building a pond Wish I was there now watching the kids fish and the dogs swim...and maybe a nice cold Miller....

IowaQDM Possible, but unlikely....sell one house to build another...but I could have a second home in another state. The Iowa home would be the primary house, with all taxes, DL, etc show this. In my possible situation, I really wouldn't care about 30 or 180 days, as it could mean missing one...

Iowaqdm You seem to have a good grasp on this possible change. I'm hoping you could explain if there is any exception for a new resident to Iowa that travels outside of Iowa state lines within that 30/180 day period. I believe that the law states "physically reside for xx continuous days"... 30...

Shredder I feel your sorrow...I still get a lump in my throat as I type remembering past "hunting partners, watch dogs, protector of monsters under the bed…." They are never replaced and always remembered...

As some know I am currently a NR landowner. I understood the rules and lack of rights to hunt my land ever year with an either sex tag. Please understand I am not questioning this. Our family plan has been that once my wife completes nursing school, we would seriously look at building our home...

Thanks for the responses….just having that words “physically reside” was my concern… Dbltree Good point, will the time from 30 -180 days really make a difference. I have read Mark Drury is from St Louis area and claims resident status in Iowa to hunt his farm. I’m sure he is doing it by the...

Posted this is a different form with no response... Sorry everyone, just did some reading and I have questions. Over the last couple of years I have had three different conversations with the Iowa DNR on this subject, with three different answers. Here’s the main question, whether 30 days or...

In another thread there was discussion on Pheasant Forever and being a great place for free seed. I’m seriously thinking of becoming a member of the Southern Prairie chapter. The free seed is a great idea, but I’m hoping to get some insight on the purpose of the organization. I guess I need to...

FarmlandQDM/Dbltree I have heard that Pheasant Forever was a great place to get free seed. I contacted the Southern Prairie chapter last year, and I really needed to join. I will admit, something just doesn’t feel right though.. I don’t want to join an organization just to get stuff free….

Good Info Dbltree... The Ford only has one set of hydraulic fittings...the older ford 4 row didn't have row marks...I think I read, maybe even from you, of using a rod mounted on the frontend with chains hanging down as markers...just something to think about....

Pharmer I thought of EW, but I think tht I might have heard that it spreads, or my neighbor's might be happy because of spreading??? Not sure if it matter as I have cattle on the sides???
