I've wondered about what order to do what in too. The more I think about it, the more confused I get For a corn plot, I want to spray, till, wait for more weeds to come up, spray, lime and fertilize, culipack and plant. Ok- question- what if the two sprayings put me past the optimum...

$3,000?? Wow. So I guess $350 is a decent deal eh? I see planters that have been gone thru and painted anywhere from $850-$1200 but haven't seen too many sold the way they are. Is there anything that goes wrong with these that I need to watch for? springs/bearings that need greasing etc?

Ok guys, need some help. I have been wanting to buy a corn planter for awhile now. I know someone that is wanting to sell his planter. I know nothing about them. He says this planter has been stored for the last 5 years and the previous owner stored it for 10+ years before that. It looks to...

Re: RR soybeans - soil testing A quick question for those who have tried corn/soy plots. I am thinking about broadcasting instead of planting in rows. I just don't have the equipment to plant in rows and I honestly want the corn more for cover than anything. I know it's a shotgun method...

I guess the barrel and action are stainless steel- the guy just sent it out to have it teflon coated. The theory i guess is that all the blackpowder crud will just fall off like it would on a frying pan. Actually sounds like a great idea to me. First I've heard of it though. I also like the...

Anyone hunt with one of these? Been offered a pretty good deal on one and I know a lot of you guys shoot Knights. I've heard that the trigger assemblies in the new enclosed ML's get a lot of blow back crud on them. So the fact that you can remove the trigger assembly on the Revolution II...

Just a couple quick thoughts from someone on the outside looking in. Michigan increased their license fees a few years back. The reaction from our hunters was pretty much on par with what I'm seeing here. My thoughts have always been and still are: I eat/breathe/sleep deer and deer hunting...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll have to check out that post when I get a little more time. I have pretty much nothing for implements right now. I have a 29hp New Holland and a cultipacker. My neighbor has a 3 bottom plow and discs. I can borrow a sprayer. For this reason, I'm thinking about...

Hi guys. I know I'm REALLY early asking about planting corn but I want to start looking around for 'broken bag' deals at my local coops. I'm looking at putting in about an acre plot (all the room I have) for #1) extra bedding cover and #2) hopefully a late season food source. Luckily deer...

Hey guys. Thought I would update you on how the bedding area is going. I don't have any pics to show off (maybe i'll try to take some soon- but I'm trying to stay out of there until after the rut). Two stories that have me pretty excited about the work I did this winter... First, during the...

yeah, I didn't have it with me at the time. It's size 36 by the way. Hope this helps someone.

Hey Guys. I remember someone posting what size the o-ring is for the rage 2-blades. Took a glance at the o-rings last night and I have no idea how they are still attached.....need to go to the hardware asap! Thanks guys BC

Only thing this pic is missing is an Iowa Bruiser. Other than that, I thought this was cool with the fog backdrop.

As much as I'd like to say I agree with D&DH's predictions, I can't. It says that this year's rut should be similar to 2005's. They say the peak will fall around November 15th. I have kept detailed logs from 2005 onward of every sit, what I have seen and the temp/time etc. Bucks were running...

Congrats on the tag. Not sure if it's your first time to Iowa or just your first time into this zone. I've hunted zone 5 before but not 7.......so not sure if it's the same everywhere or not. Anyways, I didn't see too many businesses that cater to hunters (unless it's actually a hunting...

Re: Nonresident Landowners, check out this website I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents (we need some more rat bast*rd NR's to chime in right? ha). First of all, the reason I apply for a tag in Iowa every year is no secret......big bucks. Coming from a state that does almost everything...

To all you farmers out there......How do farmers get such a weed free field? Do they use pre-emergent or whatever it is called? I see in the spring before a farmer discs (if they don't drill) that there are a few weeds. But when they turn the soil over and then plant corn/soys, the crop comes...

fullrut2- that's a helluva nice setup you got there. Wish I had half that equipment. Having to rely on someone else's schedule to get stuff done sucks. I tried my own Biomaxx plot a couple years ago....with terrible results. The weeds outcompeted the corn hands down. I vowed to never try a...

holy cow. I am only wanting to plant like 1/2 acre of corn. Please tell me my 'deer feed' corn will grow! I'm pretty sure it will since i've literally grown corn in my truck bed on accident (yes, It is THAT dirty). Just wondering if that was a freak deal or what. For $120, i'll take my...

Thanks for the input. As of right now, I haven't bought any corn. In fact, I've heard that regular corn (that you can buy for deer feed) will grow. I have a 100# of it in my garage right now. Granted, it's not as good, but I'm trying to do this on the cheap. If it doesn't pan out, I'm...
