Ok let’s see what I can do: 1) 2019 spring application: 2) I used local coop for testing in fall of 2018 and no micros were recommended at that time. Fertility was low and we spread a lot of P&K spring of 2019 at planting and then again last summer after 2nd cutting. Rates applied at soil...

I’m having trouble with my Alfalfa after 2nd cutting, it just seems to Peter out and run outta gas. Takes off great in the spring and we got 2 good cuttings last year. Have done the soil tests and PH and Fertilizer. I think it may be the variety I planted. I planted a different brand and variety...

I think you have a great idea. This is a good place for me to say that this forum has been the best source of information for me that’s helped along my journey. Habitat work is my true joy in life, second to my family. The big buck hunt sure is exciting but for me it is simply the reward for all...

Bummer, any idea what was wrong with him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m familiar with anti seep collars and have been studying Dam Construction for a while now, I have not run across a drawdown pipe below the Dam before, that’s the highest pressure point in the dam. I have a project coming up that this would work perfect for but I didn’t think it was possible...

I’ll throw in what I’ve observed. Panic vs Getting out of the way: tractors, deer not scared at all simply move out of the way then return to what they were doing. ATV or truck: slightly more elevated anxiety-jog to slow run out of sight-then they hide and observe what you are up to. Person on...

What prevents seepage along the drawdown pipe? I assume this is buried below the dam? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Set the mower to cut near the top of the clover, this time of the year clover grows really good and will look great a week after mowing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I’ll bite, I would like to know more about this seed coat. I looked at the website and info seems limited. Have you tried it side by side with non-coated to prove it makes a difference? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is the target date to plant pumpkins? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leupold makes a 2x7 for muzzy, I find this is quite adequate and can’t beat the lifetime warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I would try to set the mower just above or clip the tops of the brassicas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe that is called pigweed. Unfortunately I don’t know if a good way to handle that with the brassicas underneath it. Maybe mow and cross fingers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fertility thing is a must have, I bought a farm that had been mined, I almost fell down when I found out what it was gonna cost to bring it back, we are talking 4 years of rent payments to cover the bill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I started with a VanBrunt (Same as deer) trip lever grain drill. It’s pretty easy to cut one in half, I made a 6 ft out of a 12 ft grain drill. These can be pulled with a ATV or UTV easily. These were bringing about $600 at the time on craigslist. It did a great job for me. Look for one with the...

The entire Midwest is full of food that would not be naturally growing if we did not plant it, using your argument everyone in the Midwest is hunting unfairly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I noticed a lot fewer deer in the beans last week, I’m sure with the freshly blown over trees and acorns there’s plenty to eat without coming outside right now. I’ve blamed acorns for the so called October Lull, will be interesting to see if we notice a difference come fall. Sent from my...

Sligh your alfalfa looks great! I planted Alfalfa for the first time last year and got a successful stand of 20 acres. I’m adding 10 acres to that this year. Last fall I watched every deer walk across the clover, wheat, and anything else around to get to the alfalfa. So I just killed the clover...

All you need is soil contact and then the ability for the new tiny plant to get sunlight. Sligh is spot on about the thatch not being to thick for both to happen. I think the rule of thumb 2.5 times the seed size is max planting depth for small seeds, the seed has to have enough energy to push...

Great looking drill! I’ve had a great time with mine and wouldn’t trade it for anything....except maybe a 812? My plots keep getting bigger somehow? I’ve had pretty good luck with soybeans as long as the moisture is available shallow using the same depth bands I use for small seeds. I will...
