Hard to say. 60 acres total. I’d say 30-35 acres are showing MR and AO but most still manageable. I’d also say about 10 acres scattered are heavy. One area being 5 acres that is too thick to get through. And, it seems to be always wet so I can’t get skid steer in it for fear of burying it. Like...

Skip, do I cut my losses and take a chance on damaging young trees? We logged 5 years ago. Several hundred oaks and walnut. Also, is it a good time of year to spray. Really easy to see it right now. Southern Illinois.

Following. I’m considering aerial spraying MR in clear cut areas but am concerned for young oaks that may be growing in there. It’s so thick though, I need to do something.

Skip, in southern Illinois, with fawns everywhere. You think wait to mow? Will thatch from tall grass/weeds suffocate clover?

I understand on brassicas. I should’ve clarified. I’m just looking for next step. I usually have them mowed by now. Thank you.

Due to lack of time and distance to farm, my plots are 3’ tall. Some weeds, lot of rye but clover looks really good. What are you guys doing at this point to get rid of rye and weeds, keep the clover and prep for 1/2 brassicas?

I just watched a video of a pretty well known habitat consultant seeding his access trails. Has anyone on here heard of that? I’m sure it’s rye grass and fescue. I’m in charge of 45 acres of turf grass at work. It’s extremely loud when you walk on it in winter/frozen times. I like the idea of...

Higgins $10k - base price Sturgis $4k I paid $1250 4 years ago. I love the plan. Work in progress of course but getting better every year.

Anyone ever use the stihl backpack fogger for spraying invasives? Just wondering about coverage and distance.

I’m cutting trails in and around my multiflora rose. I’m finding very little bush honeysuckle. Basically enhancing existing trails with the intention of coming back in June and spraying my tail off from whatever I can reach from that trail. I have to use a weedeater with a saw blade because...

Southern ish Illinois. Ground is about 110 miles straight south of Champaign on I-57

Anyone have any tips or tricks for tree id in winter? Maybe an app you like?

What blend with Grandpa Rays?

Anyone use John Komps clover blend with chicory? Any luck? Any idea what white clovers are in it? Thanks.

Skip, will you mow rye then or cleth?

I wish. Area is seemingly always wet-ish. If I get buried, I’m in trouble. Walk behind brush cutter and time.

We logged about 3 years ago. I did not have the knowledge or know how of what to expect from invasives. My ground is loaded with a combination of multiflora rose, bush honey suckle, blackberry briars and young oaks. (I was enhancing deer trails yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by all the...

I’ve talked to 3 farmers and will have as many transplants as I want. Free of charge. Just my labor.

I went with 20-40-40. What happens to brassica space the following spring? Are guys frost seeding clover in it? Or is it dead space for spring/summer?
