    Everything is changing, But do we know it yet?

    A friend of mine is a salesman that works at a John Deere dealership. Was chatting with him and he said new equipment sales have come to a screeching halt, used machinery has slowed down a lot.

    Recent land Sales

    Is there somewhere online that I can find recent land sales private and public. There's a farm coming to market, and I've got a pretty good idea what stuff was bringing 6-12 months ago. Just curious if things have changed much recently.

    Disappointing Iowa Gun opener

    Hunted Saturday and Sunday with a small family group, 7 people. Pushed a mix of Public and Private lands and it sure seems that deer numbers are down significantly.
