I hope so for the health of the market. The balloon is getting a little tight.

It's going to be difficult to have a land correction with stocks going nuts. If it ends in a train wreck, let it happen before November 5th.:D

A quick search says clethodim should work. You can always do a small area first.

Jerry Gille-Do you want to kill or thin the whole field, thin pockets around the trees or just take pressure off the trees?

There is no doubt about that. I have a long ESE facing hillside that is a cedar/shingle mix that is starting to get some age on it. I thin the shingles and cedars every year so neither get out of hand. I also have areas of Shingles that are on my to do list this Spring...not sure what my...

Don't blame you there...I'll plant anything that I don't have.

I look at them like cedars, they have their place but I certainly wouldn't carpet bomb a farm with them. Maybe I just see them differently because I have so many of them?

That's like saying you want a general estimate of the direction of the stock market from the money channel.

I certainly wouldn't buy today because of the FOMO. I can't see land having another 5-10 like the prior 5-10 years but if there was a piece that I wanted for many years or if it was next door to Skip :) I would. I'd guess that was a once in a lifetime run up and you'll probably have time to...

Also, every once in a while you can buy them previously used.

I recently did TSI on a farmer friends 25 acre tree planting program. It's a finger in a low area, damp and I'd guess fairly good soil. A mix of Oaks. Southern Iowa deer country. These trees were planted mechanically in rows, like they typically do. They planted the trees way closer together in...

How many are you planting?

So opposite of a Wild Turkey's personality! Thanks for sharing. They probably walked in thinking...oops wrong houseo_O

I think the sooner you understand the difference between real investing and buying land (Rec) the better off you'll be as a new land buyer. When you're buying land, you're buying a lifestyle and in order to turn that lifestyle into an investment you have to get out of the lifestyle or have less...

Above freezing at the end of the 10 day forecast. Bet your farm on that! :eek:

I want to be surrounded by animal rights people coming in from the left coasts!

Because we don't know what the future land prices are going to be, you won't know if it's a bargain for 5 or 10 years. You would be securing half of your purchase in today's money, dollar cost averaging in a sense. You'll be half right or you'll be half wrong. You wouldn't want to over pay and...

For the guys on the fence, instead of waiting to buy your ground for 5 or 10 years waiting for something that may or may not happen, or worse, getting squeezed out all together...why not buy half of what you would ultimately like to own and locking in a price. Pay cash on the first half to save...

With the limited land supply and REAL wealth created over the last 10 or 15 years, I'm guessing it will be more of a stealth correction with land prices staying at or near where we are right now for multiple years. It would take more than your average moderate recession to beat down the high...

I worked the corn between the flakes of the bale of alfalfa and put them on south facing hillsides. Before the storm I added protein pellets 50/50 with corn. They would eat the corn prior to the snow but seemed more focused on the brassica bulbs and rye. After tomorrow, I'll lay some trees over...
