    Todays prep work

    I completely forgot about my pumpkins this year.....crap....not that I've had much luck the past 2 years with them, I haven't, but if I get to the farm next week, I'll throw some in the ground after I spray...... Have you looked for artifacts around the Indian camp?

    Iowa Whitetail Potluck/ Fish Fry

    A friend of mine has bees. 2 Years ago I planted a Bee Keeper clover mix and it was always full of bees. in fact, there was so many you'd walk into that clover field and it was just humming, first time I walked into it I was wondering what the noise was. She planted it this year in her food...

    Future of CRP

    Definitely will be if history is any indication. But also could be the difference between getting something as opposed to nothing if they change crp significantly in future years. I've lost a few acres over the years due to crp changes.

    Custom farming

    I appreciate the advice, sounds like a better way for me to approach it than what I was thinking. For the acres I wanted to start with, I'm sure I'd be paying a premium in custom fees. Thanks for suggesting a different way to get involved/educated, which is really my goal. I am now thinking I...

    Custom farming

    I've been considering hiring out to custom farm some ground I have. Who else custom farms their ground and what tips can you give someone who wants to do the same? Why did you decide to custom farm as opposed to cash rent the ground? What should I prepare myself for on this journey? Tia

    Things that make me go Hmmmmm....Land Prices

    Good post. Too much of the wrong kind of debt servicing takes away a lot of progress on building wealth. Cars, CC, even the wrong kind of education. My first house was 520sf, and cost $21k...lol.. It is about priorities to a large degree. I can't believe the number of coffee shops around our...

    Things that make me go Hmmmmm....Land Prices

    66.37a tillable. He said his best soil farm.... I didn't ask his APH on the farm, and he didn't say, instead he used the "lots' of money out there, people buying ground at any cost, adding to their thousand acres they paid $400/a for back when and cost averaging it out ,marketing lane.... He...

    Things that make me go Hmmmmm....Land Prices

    This topic is just too good to leave alone. A lot of us think about where prices are headed probably at least once a week. I had a neighbor call me and offer to sell me his 80 for 11k an acre yesterday. His farm touches my Harrison County Mo farm on the south...The same Harrison County farm I...

    Brush law

    Ok, I'll try again. At what %mix are you guys using? I've been using the lable rates and not seeing the results. I've been spraying June/July for foliar application. Also using a non-ionic surfactant. Are you guys mixing hot or something? Just not sure what's going on. Try not to spray during...

    Brush law

    I have an applicators license, but still learning on what's BEST to use...Haven't had the success i expected with Remedy which is why I ask. There's a lot of differenct tree species in the road ditches in NW Mo. The Brush law is statewide in Missouri...

    Card pull yesterday

    I watch a coyote pestering a doe right outside my cabin window on Friday. The doe would chase it trying to stomp it, then go back to an area behind the shed, the coyote would then follow until the doe chased it off again. Must've been a fawn back there the doe was trying to protect. I watch them...

    Brush law

    Does Iowa have anything called a brush law where you have to keep brush cleared from middle of road thru right off way easement? I haven't heard of anything on in Iowa. Missouri does and I've been dealing with it for the 2nd time in 14 years. The ordinance says its so they can mow and maintain...

    Future of CRP

    2 of my 3 expiring contacts were at rates higher than the original signup. The 3rd is under discussion if it qualifies... Initial indication is it will, so I expect it to be higher than original rate are well.

    Root rake or flat bottom (rock) grapple?

    My tree shear does not have the grapple attachment, it's just a shear, and in my limited use, a 4" tree is about the max I can shear with it, even though it's rated for 8" trees. If it won't shear it, I use it as a tree puller and rock the tree back and forth and lift. Yeah, hard on the shear...
