Thinking about ordering some more chestnuts from Coldstream. Should I get American or Chinese (Southeast Iowa)?

Thank you all for the advice! Going to get some ordered now.

I am pretty sure this has been asked several times but didn't see it at a quick search. What is the "best" tree tube along with height for planting chestnut seed? Also, is there a place that has best pricing on them? I only need about 30 right now.

I love this idea. We could all learn a lot!

I would prefer to sell as a set for now but will keep your interest in mind. Thank you.

Excellent condition sitka fanatic jacket and bibs. These are two years old and have not been worn much. Both size large. Pickup in SE Iowa for $600 or $625 shipped to you. Can pay in person with cash or paypal F&F if shipped.

I tried one of those cone shaped three point spreaders once with lime and i had to shovel it back out by hand! Would not waste time with that. I have been looking for a narrow drop seeder to apply lime to remote plots.

I have met with the dnr wildlife biologist at the pasture who is a big deer hunter so thinks our way. I have met with fsa in their office. I have not met with nrcs yet in that county, but did talk with the nrcs rep that i have gotten to know in my county. I plan to get the wildlife biologist...

I read through the grassland program today. Continued grazing is a requirement for the program which i do not want to do. Looks like that program is off the table.

That is my fear, get a bunch of junk growing and then that junk goes to seed and have a real mess. I love this idea if it would work. Anxious to hear others input on this.

I really like this idea if there is a good native seed bank! Would be great to do this in select areas for diversity pockets. My fear is the seed bank may just be crap i dont want (thistles, etc). Have others had good success doing this?

We have done some initial checking with FSA office about grassland and were told that it isn’t really used in Iowa. Told it was used in the prairie states like kansas and nebraska. Have you seen or heard of it in Iowa?

I got some EQIP funding on the farm I own. It did a great job of covering the cost to do the spraying and seeding but no income/rent. That will be the backup plan if we cannot get into a program that has a rental payment.

Jbohn, thanks for the offer and would be great to hang out and catch up. I have a feeling that you have more work than you can handle on your farm when you get back to the area!

Nrharris, I've read your thread about your property transformation and about your dad harvesting a great deer! I actually thought about all of that when I wrote this. Daver, you bring up great points/questions. The family has talked about this and I've gotten about 90% approval to have free...

Thanks all for the replies and please keep them coming. CottonwoodCanyon is right that the eligibility isn't for current years, it is for years within an old window so it would be 8+ years before it would be eligible even if it could. Hardwood, I've not calculated how many acres could be...

Hello All. My grandfather/father own a cattle farm in SE Iowa and are going to be selling off the cattle soon to "retire". A portion of this farm is a square 160ac rolling hill pasture with small creek rolling through it. Typical hilly pasture with some flat ridges, ravines, etc. Not too...

I ordered some new cold weather gear so selling off some stuff. I need to figure out prices and take some pics but thought i would post it up right away in case anybody is looking. I am located in SE Iowa and would be easiest to meet up in person but we can discuss shipping if needed. Message...

Jbohn you need to use that drill for some beans! I personally do bean plots because they are much less expensive than corn and in my experience can handle some browse better. I have never fenced mine but always have rowcrops nearby to help with pressure. I have thought (but not sure) that...
