    Building my wall

    Last December had someone shoot a buck off my property from the road. Most of my property is already screened, just had this one little bit that I never worried too much about. So I attacked it with a vengeance this past week. Had some cedars that I planted too close to each other so I tree...

    Land value chart over time for iowa...

    Absolutely agree, you might have small fluctuations here and there but land will always be on the rise over time, they r not making any more of it. If a persons dream and goal is to own land, you will figure it out if you want it bad enough. Have patience, but when you find that piece that...

    Helping deer over winter.....

    Extremely good valuable point you make on the alfalfa and clover, if that ground freezes so hard and heaves it breaks the roots. The only stuff I've cleared so far is turnip, radishes and rutabagas. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

    We probably have way more snow than most anybody else being about 16 mi from lake Michigan. We get a lot of lake effect snow accumulation Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

    Helping deer over winter.....

    Winter can be brutal on deer especially when you get deep snow and the cold just hangs right in there, but they are Extremely tough animals and are survivalist. I really like the idea 2 of creating natural brows for them. Agree with your number 4 that's a absolute no no to start doing, you would...

    Looking to build a portable wagon blind.

    Started with just running gear, they are 6'x6' with a landing. I did something little different and made extendable outriggers that can be lifted up and then slid in for transportation. The step is hanging on the landing by a J piece of medal Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

    Liming farms

    6.8 is dead on... It also can have an effect on some herbicides if it gets to high. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

    Liming farms

    Yes was referring to variable rate. I really like your 2 1/2 acre grid samples. Gives you the ability to go back and sample the exact same location again each time. It also gives you the ability to not over applying lime, which saves you money, haveing some acres with to high pH isn't a good...

    Liming farms

    Just one comment. How many acres were put into 1 sample? Can your line b spread accordingly to those acres at the rate needed? If so maybe go to the farm that has the biggest area in need for lime. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

    WHY IS IOWA GREAT?

    Ok here's from Michigan..... We have had a family deer camp in the upper peninsula from when my great grandpa homesteaded there and I have hunted there every year since I was old enough to hunt. My Dad and uncle's did pretty dang good when they started. I got started in the '70s and it was...

    TIME is rewarding

    One thing I found out that helps me growing the chestnuts in the greenhouse is to wash them in a product called StorOx2.0 a broad spectrum bactericide/fungicide. I also do float mine but I do them before they go in the fridge.

    8 years is how old they were when they produced in 2019, I bought 2 year old trees in 2013 I believe it can be done sooner. I had mine little to close to a wood line. I am really working on fine tuning it with the ones going in this fall.

    TIME is rewarding

    Sometime seems like trees can take so looong to produce. My intention here is to pass on some of my learning experiences and also gather from others. When I started planting a bunch of stuff I didn't have or take time to cage them all. Ones I didn't cage seemed like they were stunted all the...
