Re: Plateau/Journey herbicide for NWSG great pics all. Pharmer, thats about the nicest natural picture I've seen...really nice. I had natives planted this June. Many weeds, but there appears to be big blue identifiable...a bit thin, but I'm hoping it will thicken up in coming years. I have 2...

I've heard that red clovers establish quickly and in not the greatest soils. would you consider that a better food plot alternative vs. rye? Due to my spreader-ineptness I'm sure I'll buy twice as much seed as I need, so if clovers work well on their own as firebreaks, maybe I'll go that route...

I'm going to be frost seeding firebreaks this winter...I've killed the firebreaks this september. I checked prices at Welter and was thinking of using a mix of red/white and a smaller percentage of perennial rye. Do you see a problem with that mix? My firebreaks(foodplots) are in a not too...

I've had a stand of CP25 put in this year. It looks OK, I see flowers and big bluestem for sure, but the others are too short for me to tell what else will come in. I just can't tell if it is IG or switchgrass. I was told to not burn next year, but the following year and then I'll start...

I concur with Pharmer - I'd contribute to the delinquency rate in SE Iowa because I too could buy alot of liquid currency for burn help. I've sent an email to a PF habitat specialist Friday but I haven't heard back yet....hope it works out.

Man, reading this stuff and seeing pictures is like crack cocaine to me. I shouldn't look at this at work on a Friday. Great pictures. I'd love to get a crew together to do this at my place. I have sent a note to one of the PF habitat folks hoping they could do a burn for me next year. I'd be...

I agree, and after what happened last year in Wisconsin, I know all I can do is watch trespassers/poachers if I'm in the woods...confrontation may not be worth it. I'm going to have a video camera in the woods this year and submit that to the CO if the same problems arise...hopefully I can keep...

yes, I believe that is the correct name. I just sent an email to woodriver@netins.net and he sent me the summer article and a subscription form. Are you doing TSI on the same ground? My disappointment with my TSI is they didn't cut any of the many small elms/ironwood I have that are pole sized...

I've been seeing and reading more and more (most recent in the Prairie & Woodlands Iowa Magazine...I recommend subscribing to this if you are into TSI and planting natives etc) on the benefits to burning in timber. It seems to reestablish native browse grasses and forbes, and fight back...

I'm in my first year of a CP25 mix being planted on my place...supposedly with a bit more switchgrass thrown in.. and it appears it is doing ok so I can't wait to see it next year. I've tried planting dogwood/wild plum and I've just had a hard time keeping the invading grass from smother...

I am in SE iowa as well and haven't had much success at all either. I have a ton of weeds growing in my native plantings that is going to cost me a ton and feel that was money down the drain...I've paid for 2 acres in the past for rye/clover from the same outfit and haven't had success...if you...

I've got plenty of time before a first burn. I'm looking for the firebreaks as a meandering food plot first, then safety later. The ground is farely bare right now in the breaks, but spotty weeds growing that I'll knock down the next two weeks. I have a small harrow and ATV so I'll drag that...

thanks! that sounds great. Are you saying a seeding at the end of August, preferably with rain in the near future? I've only read about frost seeding in the Feb/March timeframe, so thats why I ask. If it would take this fall, that would be great. I'm a bit hesitant to seeding on bare ground this...

I had native prairie put in 16 acres this June, but with the residual herbicide that was used to kill vegetation before the planting, firebreaks were not seeded by my contractor(thought it would kill the clover etc). This field is not easily accessible so I want firebreaks there for fire safety...

I'm going to try frost seeding clover this winter from Welters for a small food plot and for a fire break around some natives. I was going to go with a ladino/red mix. Do any of you know if it is a must to innoculate for a frost seeding? Any tips on how to innoculate(I've never done it)? I...

I've got a decent stand of timber - oaks and hickory - and I did TSI a few years back. Now I have a spreading prickly ash problem. Fairly dense in some areas. Small ones 4-6 ft tall and less than an inch around...in fact less than 1/2 inch mostly. Too many to cut by hand and treat stumps. Any...

interesting, I poked around and it seems that coyotes may not have an impact on turkey populations...I would have thought opposite. Just watching the two in my field this week made it look like they would have stalked and grabbed anything the way they were rooting around...

I live in the QC, and commute to land near Bonaparte. I haven't spent nearly as much time in the woods as I have wanted to since I bought the place in 2002, but since then I have never seen a coyote in the woods. The last 3 times I went down(every other weekend the last 6 weeks) I've seen...
