It looks like they...
I saw a couple patches of these this past weekend on field edges. This one was biggest thicket. Maybe 10-12 ft tall:
Closeup with fruit and leaf, fruit/berry was hard and did not break when I squeezed it:
Feel free to post any garden pictures in this thread. We moved to a new house last fall and put in a new garden that is a bit smaller than the old one. Only tomatoes, peppers and onions this year but I did get a cabbage from a coworker so this is my first time making sauerkraut. It'll be...
These are the two best so far, should do pretty good with quite a bit more time to grow. Also had some daytime pics of both, but the angles were not as good.
DNR is finding "pristine" gold deposits in MN!

One old timer in our area claimed he knew someone that would go pan for gold in a couple nearby creeks to supplement his farming income back in the...
I am sure some of you have seen that the goals have now been released. The most interesting thing in the summaries for the recommendations in Block 4 is these notes, 11 out of 11 permit areas had one of these two quotes as management implications! Even permit area 247 with the goal of stabilize...
My dad is working on this project. Found a grain drill in good shape and it had the right configuration to split. Sorry no pics of work when being done. It is a bit under 8 ft with the tires.
There will be a 2nd one being made and going up for sale ;) probably won't be done till later in...
Seeing a few of these and never quite noticed them before. Some seem to be alone randomly in the woods and some in thickets. Anyone know what it is?

Thicket:
A good friend signed a purchase agreement on some land today to add 160 acres to their total. So, they will have 400+ now and with their surrounding neighbors, closer to 1,000 for their coop area. They are part of our informal coop, but their land is about 3 miles away as the crow flies so we...
My brother has some conifers that he wants to get rid to expand a field. I think they are white spruce planted 6-7 years ago. They did poorly because of drought, had limited survival and hardly grew until the last two years. Now he wants to get rid of them and connect an old pasture to an...
I was looking through some old pictures and remembered the walking bridge we made out of an old bale elevator. We already had a texas style crossing for driving equipment through this area, but water is usually over boot tops when it comes to walking. My dad welded a screen platform and a hand...
My brother took this picture a couple nights ago. These deer are right in front of the small house he lives in at the farm. The house is just to the right out of the frame, about 25 yards from the deer. He said there were 8 total but by the time he got his phone out there were only 4 left for...

It used to be $399 a year, so this is a good deal. Not sure if this is a limited time deal?? Didn't see anything specific about that.
It has area measurement (acres, etc.) and higher...
I have been looking at ATVs and side by sides the last couple years and will probably make a purchase this spring. I have recently settled on the idea of a 2015 Polaris Ranger 570 Mid-size. They are 2 inches narrower and 6 inches shorter than the full size model, which would be nice in the...
I decided to get a thread started on on the land improvements and general hunting and other stuff for our chunk of ground. The first picture is an overview of the area. The 40 sticking off to the west is owned by my wife and I and the rest of the land within the red is owned by my brother. 600...
I saw this when browsing and I am not sure on the exact location of it but based on the road listed and directions it looks like it likely mostly high land. If it is on the north side of the road it looks like it is mostly highland as well, when you go about 3/4 to 1 mile down the road. I think...
