I ran hemp rope from Smokey’s with the wicked wicks scent this year, the scrape got hammered. A buddy put it up for me and I wasn’t overly happy with where he put it but it worked. I ended up ordering 50 ft of hemp rope and it’s airing out at the farm now, I’m going to run a handful of hemp and...

Have any of you planted soil builder mixes like Vitalize/Droptine/Green Cover? Anyone have any opinion on these? I like the idea, with limited acreage to plant 3 acres I worry beans won’t stand a chance especially with my recent census after cutting last falls corn. Anyone run these rotations...

Curious how everyones project scrapes did during 2023 season? I was browsing YouTube and ran by Skips mock using hedge, was that one a success? Anyone have any trial and error changes for this coming year? Is there a consensus that the pine limb with attached licking branch is a good dual...

Jake, so glad you roped him in. I know a couple guys who know a little bit of everyone in the game and have had them to their farms, out of all the guys out there the two who don’t know each other both say Tony’s approach works the best on their farms. Specifically breaking up sight lines...

I have a couple acres of corn seed left over from last year, would this be good seed still?

Listened to Tony Lapratt on the latest Exodus podcast. He was praising beans and corn planted together at 70/30 with a grain drill. Curious if anyone has tried this and seen success? He said deer won’t detassel the corn due to it not being planted in rows, rather random.

This is what I got, all my co op had currently that had the Phos @ 8%. This look decent????

Appreciate it!

Thoughts on Nutrena brand, no purina near me. As long as the Phos is at or very near 8% is this likely very similar to the ones you have referenced?

Can’t afford a no till. Doing a big grafting project and have another 15 pear on order. Are there any clover/s blends or brands you guys agree on or do yall use co op seed?

What do you all do in and around your fruit orchards for food sources? Should I establish clover and yearly refresh with a frost seeding? I’ve got a good 30 trees in and don’t want to get near them with a tiller? Just curious what you all do for best results?

I’m bouncing back and forth on my Ohio plans but I’d really like to try beans this spring. Total acreage would be 3 acres beans, 1 acre clover, and then a 3/4 acre fall mix in an interior woods plot. For those of you that have fenced your beans, what’s a good “budget” fencing company? Any...

I found the answer to the first question from skips original post…

My adhd is kicking in and I’m not seeing where you guys find your granulated garlic??? How much garlic and molasses are you putting in? What Lb rate of mineral are you putting out at a given location, how many on 100 acres would you run? Lick in the interior or out on plot edge for easy...

My family is keeping me pretty grounded with these projects but a couple small bedroom sized cuts on strategic sites will be done. If SG is 7 to 8 foot tall wouldn’t deer have issues seeing down into plots? I like the idea of miscanthus planting, any recommendations for where to buy other than...

Thanks! Daylight movement was somewhat limited this year after Oct 20. We have an old highway on the open face side of field just beyond the ponds and field has no hard edge other than ponds to block view and a sloppy neighbor who controls bedding. I’ll be dropping a few trees strategically...

Thanks for the insight. After messing with this I changed it up again but same general concept, just made single larger blocks instead of two and I'll compartmentalize them with EW for now for ease of planting. Perhaps all the broken up food will allow for an additional doe group to call home...

Stand/blind locations will be on outer edges of plots with solid access leaving interior sections completely to the deer. How would you guys reccomend me attack this? I’m absolutely open to criticism if this is insane!

For reference yellow would be switch, purple are established fruit trees. Larger chunk of switch in upper pic is on knob and approximately 1.5 acre block to assist with possible knob bedding.
