So, I just had a conversation my local FSA office about a month ago, because I had my tenant do some brushclearing and sodbusting to create more tillable acres to create farming history going forward (to generate the largest ROI in cash rent or if I want to put into CRP, etc down the road)...

I am converting pasture land to about 4.5 acre plot. So the soil is not great (pH -5.9 -6.1), so realistically I am not sure how much will grow.... I have both forage milo and grain milo seed. but yes it is a 90 day seed. I am not expecting a great crop until can build the soil up a bit more...

Ive got a guy with a drill that is willing to drill in some milo/sorghum seed in, next weekend (just havent had time to get it in yet, the seed was free and Im not harvesting, just trying to buildup the soil). However with fall food plot plantings coming up soon, Would you just add fall...

I would love to enroll some of my property into CRP or Grasslands program, my issue is you have to own the land for at least 12 months in order to qualify and start the process.. my first year of ownership comes up in Jan, so hopefully prices will stay decent. Unless if someone know some sort...

How tall you think the sorghum will be after 1 month from being planted? Because that’s approximately about when I would broadcast seed into it..

I am going to be planting about 4.5 acres grain sorghum here in early July (nebraska), and then broadcast a variety of seed over the top of it, hopefully early to mid august. and then broadcast winter wheat or cereal rye over it again beginning of sept... This is the first time doing this so Ill...

this is a brand new farm! Acquired it in January, so have no idea what the history is like, but here are a couple I’m pretty excited about!!

Got it. Thanks for the clarity. I have started cutting the bigger ones down then treating the stumps. If I leave the barbless trees will they sprout up other barbless treats?

So let me see if I understand this correctly.... you are just coating the bark throughly about 2 foot up from the ground, You are not cutting, hacking or drilling into the tree at all? I have a honey locust problem, trees that are very large. If this backpack sprayer works, you will be my hero...

For those of you who have put water holes/tanks in the ground, approximately how far apart from each other have you put them? 100 yards, 200 yards? 1 tank/20acres? Also, how far away from a pond/creek that has water?

Thank you! Yea it is definitely a dream property, with a lot of Potential. I have been thinking bout getting some sun hemp/buckwheat broadcasted here in late june/early to mid July and then come in late august and broadcast grains/soybeans/brassicas/etc and hopefully get something to grow. Then...

BK you know you’re the buddy I’d ask to help me. You’re just going to have to take some Fridays off work! But thanks for that link! Looks like I gotta read up.

there won’t be any corn/beans it will all be alfalfa.. so my thought with the yellow is trying to get some sort of grain established..

So, I have a dilemma, this is my first year of ownership and am only in the first 6 months of ownership…. I have attached a couple pictures of my property (160 acres) .. the one photo is “without leafs” on onX… and the other is the most recent from 2021 I believe… Green Shape -20 acres dryland...

Awesome thank you, I dont have much equipment so this is about the only way I will be able to get something done. Ive got a 4wheeler with some black boar attachments (disc, cultipacker) and a sprayer. So trying to figure out how I can maximize efficiency with little equipment.

Has anyone ever tried the Orange snow fence material for fencing them in? I was looking at TSC and this seemed to be a little bit cheaper and more budget friendly than the welded wire fencing.

Sorry for maybe a dumb question (I am just getting into alot of this land/habitat management stuff) but When you say you just disc in the soybeans and milo, does that mean that you are broadcasting the seed with a backpack spreader or something similiar and then coming back over the top with the...
