Defiantly a difference looking at those ponds. I see a green color on aerials on some of my problem ponds I guess it is best to keep it simple and use and common sense and observations and not over think it.

My property has small lowland spot that seems like someone tried to make a duck pond once. It’s usually looks as pictured and very rarely fills but doesn’t hold water long. Usually just a mud pit. Looking for some ideas to fix it. Was wondering if there is something I can put in it that will...

More than I care to count we had issues with our CSP contract timing and 2 years worth of the TSI got pushed into 1

It’s been a busy winter at the farm. Had a big CSP project start with about 150 acres of TSI this year. Some burning started with a big timber burn hopefully in the next week. Came across a few sheds too. But getting really excited to put the saw down for some spring planting and tractor time.

I haven’t thought of it that way makes sense

This is a small farm surrounded mostly by CRP so not huge food sources around. It’s about 2.5 acres of brassicas with another 2.5 if clover around it. Would like for the food to make it to late season so might wait a couple more weeks

At what point are you removing your electric fence? Specifically on brassicas? I have some pretty good growth now about a foot tall.

I believe I have heard Winke say he wouldn’t shoot as many does again. Do to how susceptible it made his farm to being wiped out completely by EHD like it it did in 2012

And in most cases the habitat could be improved to fix that as opposed to killing more deer

I’ve been thinking about doe harvest a lot recently. To me it’s not making sense shooting does for “management” I get if we were heavy CWD state in Iowa, but I feel Iowa does not need to be harvesting massive amounts of does. Especially late season. I hear all the time people saying “deer...

A lot rain fortunately this year!

Had my biggest year of food plots! Planted roughly 30 acres of plots over my 2 farms, along with 30 acres of CRP. Lots of clover/corn/beans/brassicas. Tried about every method there is for planting and learned a lot. May spread some rye in thin spots of beans and brassicas but I’d consider...

SE Iowa

Found 2 bucks this week. The last one has looked healthy on camera consistently all summer and just found dead. Getting it tested by DNR biologists thought maybe we’d be okay this year with all the moisture.

I almost bought an old Van brunt drill to take rows off just for driving over rows just like that. This plot is just about 6 acres of corn so I will probably just broadcast it in this year to test it out when I hit the corn with nitrogen. The Massey has been my best purchase! Big enough for...

My neighbor is getting a drone for commercial spraying so I’m hoping that can be useful in the future…. Might try it on 60 inch rows too

Finished up my corn plot today! Just wondering if anyone here has interseeded annual clover when the corn reaches V4- V6. Any tips or suggestions for success?

It ran pretty well as it was but I’m going to cut back tillage pretty heavily after this year so I’m going to add weight inside the tool bar and probably put some pesticide boxes on it with sand bags to do no til
