Looking for some strategy input on planting switch to encourage bedding within my CRP. The open areas in the picture were planted to WSG's (switch, big and little blue) back in 2014. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to take and there is little evidence of WSG's at this time. Plenty of other...

I've been researching them and talked to one of RTP's distributors who was quite knowledgeable. They sell them of course but he doesn't work for RTP which gives me a bit more confidence than a factory guy shilling.. They have some nice features like the calibration tray and you can mix all...

I worked with my private land biologist on getting it set up in MO. We sold that farm so we didn't end up doing the project.

Missouri offers cost share for this type of project allowing the hiring of a skid loader to pile them up for a good weinie roasting bonfire. Maybe Iowa has a program?

Thanks guys, worth experimenting if I end up with a drill. However, I won't be getting a big drill so soil conditions will make all the difference.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I guess I'll have to experiment and report back......if I buy a drill.

I"m trying to justify a no till drill for smallish acreage of plots. I've heard of guys having success drilling radishes into clover that has been mowed super short or set back a bit with Gly. Has anyone had success drilling into pasture that has been hayed or mowed real short but not...

Thanks, good to hear it has worked for you Daver, especially considering how dry your area has been. Good feedback.

Great info Sligh. I'm trying to justify why I need to spend big money on a drill and I'm doing a pretty good job of it so far!! HA! Grant Woods claims he doesn't need as much or any fertizlizer with after a few years of his Buffalo System. Do you find the same type of improvents in your...

I agree, but damn are they spendy and I have a small tractor and limited acreage that I plant. That said, I'm trying to justify the cost as I type. Lot of money for these deers, LOL.

I was asking more about the effect on the soil between the two. Lots of talk about how working the soil is detrimental to it's health. Anyone having success with throw and mow in Southern IA/Norther MO? I like the concept but it's so damn dry down there it would likely be a recipe for failure.

I know the best case scenario is some kind of no-till planting but is there any real difference to soil health between running a disc versus tilling just the top couple inches of soil?

Interesting, I almost used exact same combo on my last buck but in the end went with OTS's wall pedestal.

Awesome deer and the mount looks great! What form is that?

I'm glad I read this info, thanks for posting! I believe the guy that is spraying for me is using Liberty and I was planning on brassicas 7-10 days after he sprays.

Shoot me a PM if you are willing to travel to Princeton.

Is there a down vote button on here, LOL!!!! There were NR Landowner tags when I bought in MO. Fees went from $75 for a bow tag to $225 when they shitcanned the NR tag and rifle went up the same. And most laughable is turkey went to $190. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

My take aways. 1. Weather was a battle for food plotting.......yet again. Grew some good brassicas but not enough acreage to get through to late seaosn. Fall plantings were a bust due to too much rain of all things. 2. Brother killed a nice early season buck that we passed up 7 or 8 times...
