I’ve heard people even in the Midwest say “it takes a couple of years” for deer to lock into brassicas.
But I’ve done pretty significant plotting in SE Wisconsin (zone 5, 40 DPSM)and now in NW Wisconsin (zone 3b, 15 DPSM). In both places when the greens get to the right stage they just...
I’m north of you in Zone 3a.
I plant a brassica / clover / chicory / WR mix in late August or early September and it does great!! I get bulbs the size of baseballs before hard frosts come in mid October.
That GP drill of yours Foggy is one fine piece of steel! I hide in the weeds on all those drill threads slowly learning and formulating a plan for how to get one in the barn one day.
But I go back and forth about all my equipment decisions constantly. One day I want a drill, the next a hi...
The thing with CWD, if it’s pretty advanced, is I should see skinny or sickly deer on my cams. But I never have.
With wolves, bears, bobcats, coyotes and fishers on my land year round, the “weak” get disappeared fast. But I do think I can see the kill site for several weeks on my place. I...
Every year I pick a section or an area of my fence lines and I clean them up with the goal of making it better for the farmer renting from me.
I take out dead trees, remove invasives, and limb up any branches (15’ high) encroaching on the crop field.
This year I’m having a logger take out a...
While it’s endemic in the area I’ve hunted the last 15 years, I’ve never personally seen a cwd infected deer or one that may have died from it. But I still don’t think it’s smart to feed or bait deer (🥊 😇).
12 years ago I was in Sd pheasant hunting and our group found 11 nice bucks dead from...
When I was a kid and first hunting alone before daylight I went to the spot my dad told me to go and settled in. I was on the edge of a pretty steep ravine growing up with young oaks and the rotting remains of a select cut.
Anyway, as it started to get just light enough to see any shapes I...
Thank you Wind Gypsy!
I also put the word out to a couple of friends and one said $.50 each and one said $.65 each….and confirmed that .300 wsm brass is quite rare and precious these days.
FWIW, none of my brass was loaded “hot”. It was all factory ammo and every round was fired from my...
For a long time I’ve planned to “become” a reloader one day. But I’m probably not going to do that.
I have about 300 rounds of personally once-fired, de-primed, .300 WSM brass that I’d like to sell. Most of it (240 rounds) is the Winchester Supreme silver brass cases. The rest are regular...
Before I became a tractor owner I always walked past the “jumbo” tool rack and secretly wished I had a reason buy some.
I now have wrenches and sockets up to 1.5”, giant crescent and pipe wrench’s, and a 30” breaker bar.
The only sizes I get much use out of are the 1 5/16” and the 1.5” on...
Saw a similar discussion on Green Tractor Talk or Tractorbynet for pto cone spreaders last fall. They were using an electromechanical actuator to control it…..because they didn’t have SCV’s to do it with hydraulics.
Maybe something like that would work for a sprayer?
I do have a beard so positive pressure it is! Thank you.
I always try to pick a good time to spray…..but still end up getting coated in it most times.
What started me thinking was last fall when the commercial sprayer came to my land to burn down my 25 acres of horse hay for corn this...
