Wow, epic hunt and super cool picture of him in the beans. Congrats!!

Giant! Congratulations!!

Darn straight the weather will screw it up. I'm 6 hours away so timing is always an issue for our plots. I've got a guy to mow and spray so that helps a ton but he's busy and battles the weather like everyone else.

Great info, thank you. I was thinking of planting soybeans in the spring just so I could hit it multiple times with gly hoping it and the shade would kill the grass but it sounds like another failure in the making.

Thanks guys, great info. Sure sounds like a combo of thatch and live grass at time of my planting stifled me. Sounds like I can shelf my plant into cover crop and spray plan too which is ok. We will get back on our normal plan of spraying 2 weeks before planting. Learning curve for sure...

Maybe my expecations for no till are too high. I didn't feel the thatch was too thick and thought mulch was good as it keeps moisture and suppresses weeds. All part of the learning curve but I sure hope thatch was not my issue. My long term plan was to plant through my green cover crop then...

Rye, oats, radish, red clover. 1/2" would be Max depth it was planted. There is definitely evidence of all seed germinating but just not much growth. Far less germ where the carpet of wispy grass is. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Trying to figure why we had poor germination and growth. Lick Creek fall mix was drilled around 9/1, got a couple light rains the week after then 1" on 9/9. Plot was sprayed late July so some of the grasses greened back up at the time of plantting. Gly was sprayed right after planting...

I think they will be toast after yesterday's rain. Another 2" yesterday on top of 2.5" the 22nd and 23rd. I mud bogged a couple hundred pounds on yesterday hoping it wouldn't rain again so I wasted money on that. I hunted last night in a blind and watched a lake form in my brassicas before...

Is it worth spreading urea this late in the game? Looks like rain and I'm at my farm Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Paul called for 50 lbs rye/50 lbs oats/50 lbs winter peas/5 lbs radish/and red clover if broadcasted. Should any adjustments be made on the rye, oats, and peas if no tilled in?

I posted this on another habitat forum and it was suggested that spraying to kill the competition may well release the WSG that was planted in 2014. Sounds like a great plan to try first. I thought I could mow it in March then start spraying as things green up. I looked but wasn't able...

Thank Sligh, I took notes of your kill cocktail. Plan to mow it labor day then spray at the end of October to prep. I have got everything buy atrazine in my inventory, hopefully the simazine will suffice.

Very nice and I like the canal idea to tie the ponds together.

Looking for some strategy input on planting switch to encourage bedding within my CRP. The open areas in the picture were planted to WSG's (switch, big and little blue) back in 2014. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to take and there is little evidence of WSG's at this time. Plenty of other...
