    Soil test results

    What is the best way to reduce high mag? What kind of issues will too high cause? I just got a soil test back from a new field. Mag is sky high at 439 ppm, the rest are all low. P 8ppm, K 115ppm, & Ca 1379 ppm. 6.4 pH though :)

    Acorns to Oaks!

    I just have them in my basement under a cheap grow light all winter, so maybe low 60's. Surely a warmer temp they would do even better. Use straight peat. I take the peat in bucket, mix in some water so the peat is extremely damp, antibacterial dish soap (stops mold), and sevin (stops gnats...

    Acorns to Oaks!

    Currently in my 4th winter starting trees from acorn/chestnut. Have been getting them started under lights in 10" cone-tainers, then transplanting and tubing them sometime around the end of April after the frosts are mostly gone. That has yielded the best results for my situation so far. I've...

    Hopefully for your sake they count alfalfa, that would be nice. From my CRP experience it seems like they keep it all pretty common sense. That varies office to office, county by county. Develop a relationship with your local NRCS guy is the best route, because there definitely can be some...

    Hay/Alfalfa I'm almost positive is not going to count with for crop history.

    FBN Poloma Beans?

    This is a fun topic I've just started digging into the last year or so. In my area most of the farmers are running 2.8/2.9s, and that is what I have always planted for bean plots as well. Just easy to get them through farmer buddy. Always e3 since they've come out. Fall '22 was DRY. Beans...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I am in way no way questioning Bill Winke, he's one of the greats, but I have been continually surprised at how openly intrusive he is. He walks through a good portion of his wide open main bottom field to hunt it over and over and I always wonder how in the world he gets out at night without...

    Favorite Fall Brassica?

    I have always planted a generic blend that has PTT, a few types forage turnip & rape, and like 10% radish. They eat everything in it to the dirt, bulbs included every year. I'll usually mix in some co-op cereal rye for good measure too. Still planted the greater field in the mix above, but...

    Beans and corn together

    I am always curious what the herbicide/fertilizer program looks like for guys that **sucessfully** do this. Nobody ever dives into that It also seems like if you had just regular, clean beans right next to it, the deer would prefer that 10:1. Even if there are sparse foxtail or other weed...
