What do I have here. Wasn’t sure if the one w red berries is a different species than the one w the golden berries or not.

I’m an equipment dealer here in west mi and about 7 or 8 months ago we added skid steers/track loaders to our offering. Been going well and starting to get more and more clients and potential clients asking about mulching heads for them so I want to become a dealer for a good line. Just starting...

Is this lespedeza? Hardly noticed it last year in my crp/switch now I’m seeing large pockets of it. Nasty thick stuff. I just sprayed the heck out of it w roundup but not sure what I’m doing.

Really excited to have my farm (and my neighbors on two sides) flown this week. Chatting w the guy that is coming out to do it tonight for quite awhile and what a fascinating job he has. I think I’m more excited to talk to him about his insight on the state of the deer herd in the Midwest then I...

Curious to hear when most of you started seriously doing food plots. Also if you had to make an educated guess, what % of farms/hunters had legit food plots on them in the 2005-2009 range in your opinion and what % you think that # is today. I didn’t own my own farm until 2013 and that was when...

Saw both Winke and Don Higgins have a company out of Missouri out to their farms recently and flew a drone around and did an analysis of the deer herd on their farm. Buck to doe ratio, deer density, even number of mature bucks. Super interesting imo. Can see where the deer are bedding. I know...

Rode out to eastern IA w a friend of mine on a business trip recently and a couple weeks after we had come home he received a speeding ticket in the mail. Apparently drove past some sort of camera/speed trap that took a pic of his license plate. Had never seen or heard of this before.Figured Id...

Hopefully the link works. Had this sent to me by some friends. Ive been saying for 10 years that nobody is talking about reducing doe harvest, the pendulum needs to swing back, etc…well, FINALLY there’s an article, podcast, tv celebrity, talking head that is discussing the subject. Love it haha...

So I am not a fan of crossguns and hate the fact that in IL where I own land and hunt they are legal and very popular among hunters in the archery season. I think pretty much everyone agrees that they are way easier to kill a deer with, much more lethal, and are being used the entire archery...

Hey guys, I’ve been buying energizer lithium aa’s for my trail cams through Amazon. Can get 100 packs so I liked that. Problem is I’ve been reading poor reviews and experiencing some bad batts myself that don’t last very long through amazon. Wondered if anyone had a good, reliable, reasonably...

Recently received an email with results from a survey that NDA did in my home state of MI. Says there were 631 respondents so pretty small sample size but sill, I was surprised that the recently hot topic of Access ranked dead last on the list of concerns that the participants were asked about...

Recently bought and just put out Saturday the new L series home cell along w 3 of the remote L series cameras. Didn’t get anything sent to me until the following day (yesterday) around 10am and nothing since. unless I’m mistaken there isn’t really a way to see the cell signal strength on the...

….anybody happen to catch where he talks about some study that was done (maybe back in 2010 I think?) where something like 7 male frogs were placed in a tank and slowly exposed to atrazine and all 7 turned in to female frogs and I think a couple even produced eggs. Thought it was quite...

Trying the CuddeLink system for first time this fall. Have a farm where there’s only one spot I can get cell service so thought the daisy chain system might be a good solution. Going to be hanging the cams in a couple weeks. All the cams I’ve used over last 10 years take AA batts and like most...

Looking at a soil sample (hopefully the picture posts properly as I don’t always know what I’m doing) and it shows low to very low p and k. I’m guessing my clover plot is approx 7,200 sq ft maybe a bit bigger. If I follow this it is suggesting I put approx 21 pounds of each p and k which I’m...

Go in to cabelas today to educate myself on them as I’m going to be buying one for a friend of mine for an elk hunt he’s going on this fall (he’s mostly a duck hunter, has never bow hunted and doesn’t want to try and get proficient by September). Guy shows me the latest Ravins and says this one...

….should be illegal. At least during season. I realize it’s probably an unpopular opinion as I love getting the pics as much as the next guy I really do. But, I’m seeing big buck after big buck being harvested that cell cams played a major major role in. I believe they’re the biggest “game...

Have a new farmer/tenant that I’m leaning towards leasing my small tillable ground (19 ac) to. Have a fairly “boiler plate” lease contract that I’m reviewing and hoped to get some advice from those that have been through it before. I think I have most things covered but I’m sure I may not be...

Hey guys, own a farm with around 19 acres of tillable that has beans on it currently. I’d like to have the farmer leave around 4 acres of them for me. What would you guys suspect would be a fair price or fair way to go about that? Fwiw, the farmer told me 50 bushel an acre is an avg of what he...

Looking at tractors and I see John Deere makes a 3039R and a 3038E This is the horsepower range I want to be in and I mostly use it for mowing/bushhog as well as a rototiller for tilling small food plots. From what I gather the E is a little more “economy”, smaller front axle, less lift capacity...
