I saw a buck carrying both sides this morning yet.... so wowzer...

Yes- I run 30 inch rows on a 7000 planter. My dad runs a 7100 on 30s and no problems either. Oddly- I have found plenty of sheds in them after season. But the flip side, once they find them growing they will eat them in a hurry too.

Our contracts are 1% can be plots/mowed is all on one farm. Other farm is 0- and have to keep trees/shrubs out. So far- we’ve been checked the last 3 years (unsure how often they usuall my check- but before that it was like 5 years before we saw anyone)

I still say- this is I’m sure a different topic- but if the state is looking for money they should be charging for state park passes/usage like every other state around us. I’ve got 17 acres at my home place and 10 is in Forest Reserve. I’ve got some of the best farm ground in the state right...

This is going to be a major problem if it goes

So what’s crazy about it- after talking to the foresters in Iowa. They say “south of hwy 30 buckthorn gets almost non existent and it’s bush honey suckle that takes over”. They think it’s a temp thing. Also the Allamakee county forester says he hasn’t see buckthorn there yet (we have tons of...

Actually saw 3 bucks in NE Iowa yesterday with both sides

Wow. Didn’t know that. Thanks for the update (I haven’t been to Des Moines for pry 3-4 years) I’m closer to Minneapolis and LaCrosse versus Des Moines
