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...

What do you guys find most useful day to day? Thinking about a rock grapple to move trees and pile up. It "looks" like a flat bottom grapple would allow more material to be moved, but I've never used either. Something like in the pic is what I'm thinking.. Or, is there something else that...

Well, that escalated quickly..... The Pres and VP handled it. I've read a bunch of comments regarding how they "sprung" this minerals agreement on Zelensky so he was unprepared, that's why he acted like he did, etc,... Ummm, didn't he come to Washington specifically to sigh the minerals deal...

I am thinking about buying one of those cheap tree pullers, like the easy man, or similar. Am I throwing away money? Will I destroy it in a couple hours? How about the titan tree puller, any better? Pulling small 3-4" elm, smaller oak, 5" cedar..

Not sure how to get this info. On my tillable ground, I see acres change, year over year, and differences between planted acres vs harvested acres even in the same year. For example, on 1 farm these were the tillable acres reported : 2023 Planting monitor said 173.4a Harvest monitor said...

Just curious what other websites folks on here find interesting/spend their time on? One of my daily websites is AgTalk. They discuss everything from land prices, crop prices, personal health, machinery. Always find something interesting to read on there. You?

Anyone on here hunt artifacts? I've been looking for about 2 years, and finally found my first worked piece this past weekend while visiting friends in Southern Missouri. At least that's what they tell me on the Facebook Artifact Group I'm on. I've been looking in NW Mo mostly to no avail. The...

How many of you have your Pesticide Applicator's Certification? Was it hard to obtain?

It seems every year I plant something new. This year it's bee keeper clover mix (came in great!), giant sunflowers and milo.. Last year was German Millet - great stand, and crimson clover, regular sunflowers - both failed plots. Every year about this time, I say I'm going to keep it simple and...
