Will do! I can say I was impressed with how easy it folded up and packed into our mid-size SUV. And unpacked this morning in literally 45secs. :) We got their low-end model for the low center of gravity and low cost. As it's for my 70+ yo father, he'll be the one actually using it this fall.
My gut is that they are not quite as effective as putting it on the ground. But they do get used. And I like that better than covering them up during season. I drill two 1/4" holes in the bottom, which seems to help the water to drain if I put a small stick underneath to there is space between...
The DNR meetings are starting tonight. I'll be at the one tonight in Atlantic. Will see what they have to say.

Thanks! I was planning on drilling:
* 8lbs GS (per ac)
* 27lbs soy beans
* 5 lbs cow peas (some left overs)
All of this would be last year's seed. Here is my math for one food-lot that is in the QuailSafe CRP program. I used a 1.5 multiplier since it was last year's seed. Input welcome! :-)
Thanks JakeHofer for the great job interviewing my father about our farm journey…

I’ve had good success with spraying Gly when brome is 6-9” after spring greenup to release the seed bank. Gonna be doing it within next two weeks.

This year, we put out 4 mineral spots on our 400 acres. We used Skips formulae — 8% phosphorus (2 50 lb bags of Purina), ~30lbs dry molasses mixed plus some garlic. We put them in flat plastic tubs in high deer traffic areas. The mix should have been nearly the same for each spot. Put it out on...
Awesome thread. Love being among like-minded. Before we bought our first family home, I did the math and financially, it would have been better for us to stay renting and invest the difference than “investing” in a house. BUT 2 kids in a 2 bd apartment 6 plex wasn’t going to make a happy home...
Fascinating Drop-Tine podcast as Jason interviewed a PA state rep covering lots of conservation related policy issues. Worth a listen.
