A link was shared relating to Goldenrod management on a other thread of mine. While I’m not a podcast person I’m that my ADD requires pictures or video, I did listen to the entire podcast by Dr Harper. What I found interesting was his suggestion of managing fescue. As you know I make fun of...

Any suggestions on sprays for goldenrod in alfalfa/chicory /clover?? Mowing helps bit I’m not at farm as often these days and it has become a nuisance. Only real unwanted weed in my plots. It’s one of the few weeds or grasses that bug me as it creates too much shade. Ph and analysis are...

You know I’ve always stressed getting down and observing the smallest of detail that is a myriad of plants and animals both macro and microscopic that are inclusive in the life in every aspect of our habitat. Now what we can’t see is more fascinating. My brother and I as young kids explored...

Most probably know , but you should not mow in May except perhaps your clover plots. People spend time and money to develop pollination plants for bees and butterflies. In addition these “weeds” which typically have tap roots , are mining nutrients for you from the soils and busting the soil...

Steve, it Rained all day yesterday nixing my chainsaw plans so in my boredom I ran across this video that thought might interest you with the chainsaw at about the 10 min mark.

Have a buddy on tour of UK/Ireland/Scotland. Sent this pic of a Rape field. Used of course for cooking oil and animal feed mix. Thought you plotters might enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate to beat a dead horse but…. Just a few pics of my “sit back and let nature work” plots. Ground temps were slow coming up this year and the fields slow to green. Wheat , RC, WC , and in the fall, brassica. These are all self reseeding with me only applying seed every 4 years. No gly burn...

I love educating those that think venison is nasty to eat. As most on here know proper prep from field to house and I dare you to not like it as much as angus. Cooked up some of this years harvest. No doubt the best venison I fix comes from the farm. I think that is because they are fed there...

You know I post this every year in some way. One on the list was a great teacher in my young football days. Watch the movie “ We are Marshall “ for a good evening. Today we remember… today we grieve once again even 51 years later. They are our loved ones… our Fathers, Mothers, Grandparents...

Fl calf kill on ranch. It is collared. And I think maybe protected there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have heard me say often the farmer quote “ you are always only 7 days from a drought”. So true and I’ve seen it proven. It can be depressing to observe but having a multi use plan helps. After a very wet spring the tap turned off in summer. Hot dry and a south facing farm are tough...

Love my hydrostatic tranny on the tractor but after 7 years it began to have issues going from forward to reverse w/o going in to an aggravating pause mode. It got so bad last time cleaning out a ditch w the bucket I thot it might just get stranded and in addition it was a huge frustration...

In response to a post of some thistle in Natives most excellent adventure of his native prairie thread , a question was raised and yet to be answered. I ask and seek an answer, as to why thistle , of various types , will present itself in foodplots but is never seen in my managed fallow fields...

After some discussion on Mennonitemans habitat thread I thot I share my experience w this attachment As most know , connection of an implement to a tractor can be a pain especially if working alone. Tractor 3 pt hitch may require a hammer and even pry bar at times to get an item such as a...

Well you take a 6 and 9 yo to the farm to perhaps hunt a few minutes but they rather bust ice in creek w rocks, ride atv and tractor , and shoot rifle and visit their dads treestand who passed last year. Pretty good shots I should say. And we did get in the blind to hunt for 15 min but mostly...

Just few pics from this week of T/M plots into WW / clover done late July. Usual mix of PTT , Daikon radish , DER. Same ole mix w same ole results. Spread seed , 19-19-19, mow wheat, go play golf. Low stress low sweat low costs. Add urea if you want it to pop but I didn’t use it as didn’t...
