My big Ohio food plan was shot down by family so back to the drawing board. I have 6 acres of plantable in my main plot which I planted corn and greens in this year for year one, also put in a good 25 fruit trees and have more coming. Anyone have any luck with breaking up plots into smaller...

My farm is a high percentage of hard maple. I recall in Jim Braukers book a reference to deer liking hard maple. How would you all with maple reccomend doing cuts for bedding? Would you drop them or hinge or a combo? Also, do stump sprouts with hard maple get browsed?

Any ideas on what’s worked best in regards to your orchards? Does one big one do better than smaller strategic ones at say pinches or small kill plots? Is there a cap in your eyes for tree numbers or do you keep stacking them in? Anyone have any underground tree species that get the job done...

I hunt my farms in Southern Ohio and run a ton of cams. Love them!!! For what it’s worth, I live on the Mexico border with Arizona. We have had a trail cam ban for two years now. It’s kind of refreshing, I’d obviously run them if I could but it feels like 25 years ago before I started using...

I like those as well, im in same boat, lots of surveillance duties at work so I've always got one on. Just seeing if there's any out there I may not have discovered. I've prob listed to yours and Jake a half dozen times on putting together the new farm..

Anyone have recommendations for habitat podcasts? I feel like I know all the good ones but maybe I’m missing some….

I assume if you were to do a cut for hay you would do so in early spring?

My family 12 acre hayfield has long been late summer harvested for the neighbors cattle. Is there any benefits I could provide to cattle with switch if I were to do a spring cutting? My current plan was to plant app 3 acres of RC BR but I have a lot more ground and if there’s a livestock benefit...

Do you feel a mid June planting would work for RC if drilled?

Anyone planted RC yet and have a Rx for bedding pounds per acre on drill? After talking with MHCo. The range is 6-8, prob run 7# to play the middle. Anyone side with thinner is better?

I think that’s the plan of attack, already been in touch. Decided to add more beans and less SG in my setup. Still be over 2 acres Sg on this fieldknob and gradual decline. If they bed in SG in se Ohio this should be a perfect perch.

Wondering for those who have tried different types, what’s your best recommendation for seed type. I’m debating real world vs RC big rock for southern Ohio planting. I’ll have access to a drill. Curious for those that side by specific seed types “why” they run what the do?

When will you have it available? 6-8 lbs per acre seems like a big gap, what are you running yourself for cover purposes? If there is no SG in your area do you see it adding to potential bedding cover if it’s bordering food and woods?

The ponds will have heavy EW screen and Sg on the interior of it. Also yellow will be strip of sg/ew to compartmentalized sections of beans to break up sight lines

The black icons are proposed small bedding cuts or likely girdles I can most likely get away with

Update my plan to combat the neighbor pressure. In the pic, the blue section is going to be 3.5 acres of SG/rc bigrock. The lower section will be 3.5 to 4 acres of beans fenced with a late july broadcast of brassica blend in it. The upper small red rectangle section will be a west wind setup...

Looking into 2024, I am looking to run beans for the first time on the new property. I have 4 acres planned, a good portion will be going into this year's corn stubble. What do you guys reccomend, I know nothing, was thinking Real World? Does broadcast and pack work post till or should I use a...

Family property, I won't get the green light. It's likely I can do a couple micro locations, say against the plot edges but it will be very minimal. Family likes the pretty open canopy.

My reasoning for SG is that I cannot conduct tsi, if I can it's going to be bedroom sized pockets, nothing big

In the pic, the white was the proposed SG, if I am able to do a minor cut/girdle project in wooded section above, would you still go with proposed SG?
