    Tree Sourcing

    I lurk on here on and off, but plan to become more regular as our Farm is undergoing the “scalpel” so-to speak right now. We own a family farm of 64 acres in Central GA. Unfortunately our pines were decimated by beetles, and we are having most of the farm clear cut, aside from large oak trees...

    Whitetail Institue Powerplant

    Curious to see if anyone has tried either WI’s Powerplant blend or Merit Seeds “Buckdraw” blend. I’m going to broadcast 3 acres in these two mixes this Spring here in West Central GA Zone 8. I typically mix my own but because of some free shipping, this was the more financially suitable option...

    Hurricane Ian Let-Down

    Central GA here. Spread seed across all of my food plots in preparation for hurricane Ian’s rain. Checked the forecast this morning, 9% chance of rain now. Looks like I just wasted $400 for the birds. The joys of throw & mow!

    looking to do a “throw and mow” plot for roughly 2.5 acres of plots. West Central GA soil PH 5.7-6.2 range. Clay/Clay Loam. Not great but it’s what I’m working with. I’ve been spraying with 24DB/Cleth and .5-1Q per Acre of Glyphosate to kill off summer weeds. 3 different plots were in...

    Sending Sweetgums to Jesus

    We ripped a hot fire through our Central GA farm late February this year. I wanted to wait until March/April but the Forestry boys said February and Dad wanted them to conduct the first burn for us. Sprayed an Imazypyr, 24D/Dicamba and Glyphosate with surfactant cocktail today. Hoping it sends...

    White Oak Cuttings

    One of my Landscaping clients has a white oak that has produced the most acorns I’ve ever seen one tree produce, for the past 3 years. I’ve collected some acorns from it already, but I’m curious if I can take a cutting and propagate a tree off of this cutting?

    Herd Management

    I see a lot of guys preaching TSI, Prescribed Fires, food plots etc... But how many of y’all utilize trail camera surveys, weight every deer and pull every jaw bone of deer killed? A biologist walked our property back in September and bluntly told me that we can start planting food plots...
