Is the consensus still the Stihl 800 C-E? Don’t think they’re making anything bigger that I have found.

Skip, I’m sure you’re seeding brassicas, rye, ww etc. into your beans when they start to yellow…just want to confirm that Fierce XLT doesn’t work so well/long that it could hamper that?

Skip, is Fierce XLT a liquid or granular herbicide? I’m finding conflicting info on the Google machine. Found a jug on keystone pest solutions that is listed as $599.00 for “6 pounds” rather than listing the volume by gallons. The jug looks like it should be a liquid…but why is the jug labeled...

That’s interesting. I have not heard that podcast nor heard anyone else talk about it. My observations are purely my own, and anecdotal. Many years ago, when I planted my 1st bean plots, I honestly thought a bean was a bean. I was planting any free leftovers a farmer would give me. I got fancy...

Good feedback and much appreciated! What about brand/variety of beans that are best at shatter resistance? I have planted a couple of different VERY well known brands that are targeted at deer hunters/plotters in the past and they both shattered worse than any ag soybean I’ve ever planted…not...

If all goes according to plan, I’ll be planting my soybeans with a drill vs a planter this yr. I really think I want to go 7.5” rows for quicker canopy & weed suppression. Have a field that likes to grow pigweed & Waterhemp and I want to see if 7.5” rows will help. I’m thinking 200k population...

Lowers PH?

Here’s what I did…could be completely wrong or could be ok. We’ll see. Mixed these 4, 50 lb bags (Bronze loose cattle mineral, Trophy Deer mineral, Trace Mineral Salt, Dried Molasses) in a 1:1 ratio of all 4. I didn’t like that the deer min only had 7% phos, but did like the calcium content...

I’ve been buying my own clover from Welter and a couple others on occasion for the last 15 years or so. Everything from various reds, crimson, and a variety of whites. I’ve also planted WI extensively in the past. I’m a fan of the WI clover, but the single biggest reason I stopped using it is...

Nutrena brand, $19/bag at TSC. Kent brand, $41/bag at TSC. Formulations similar, but not exact. Is the Kent worth twice the price? Anyone have experience with either of these? Palatability/draw, etc.? If so, did you have to tweak with add’l salt or molasses to enhance?

Does it have a belt along the bottom that cycles the material into the spreader mechanism?

Ok, found it. “Synagro micro-lime” still looks like bulk ag type lime that requires large machinery and beater-type spreaders. Not a product for 1/2 to 1 acre timber plots.

Des Moines water works lime? Tell me more. I’ll do a Google search…

Found em. Plot Start is 10% calcium chloride brine. Plot Boost contains small amount of N, Boron, Manganese, Zinc

From what I can find, Plot Start is a liquid calcium application. I’m still searching to see if I can find the actual label with ingredient lists for both Start and Boost

Have any of you guys used Plot Start or Plot Boost by Deer Gro? I have to be honest, I’ve ignored it for years as it hit me as a bit gimmicky. I’ve dug in to a bit of research and it seems like it could be worth experimenting with. I’ve got a timber plot or two in particular that get a carpet of...

While I’m in 100% support and agreement of DOGE, defunding sanctuary cities, eliminating DEI 100%, getting boys and men out of girls locker rooms, etc. It looks like it could be a blade that cuts more than one way. If they should decide to eliminate my CRP pmts, a big part of me would want to...

Did a quick search on the Google machine… If this info is accurate, that freeze should be unfrozen. At least for now

80%+ still holding both sides in south central IA.

Damn. I’m in NOLA, or I’d go.
