So going to yield to all of you as when it comes to switchgrass I've never messed with the stuff. I knew when I bought my place few years back bush honeysuckle and oriental bittersweet were a massive issue. Well finally yesterday started the process with our state's district forester and balls...

So I've got a land tour thread, but that didn't seem the appropriate spot - if I'm wrong please inform and I can delete and post there. However, this is more of a discussion based situation many may relate to in some way so felt might be applicable here. As some know I purchased just shy of 23...

For those that follow my land thread (which I am TERRIBLE about updating and grossly behind)....I finally typed out the story of the buck I harvested...LONG read just warning you... The Hunt For Cicero To start the discussion of the October 5th, 2018 hunt we have to rewind for a just a...

Has anyone focused on pollination strips incorporated into your landscape? With the introduction of pear/apple trees on the property I've thought of ways to encourage more and more pollinator activity on or around my property and I've decided to incorporate wildflower strips on the landscape in...

Finally decided to slap up a property thread of my own, as I love following and reading so many of others here! As some of you know I purchased a chunk of ground somewhat near to my home (20-30 minutes away) in the spring of 2016...that will serve as not only hunting ground but also a big...

I am going to be doing a double fence (outer and inner) approach this next season on a portion of my soybean plots as a test to see if it will work...I don't want to spend the money on an electric fence set up personally... Has anyone attempted similar thought? I 100% realize this could...

So, to condense an entire story to a long sentence: after splitting fert cost with landowner but us supplying the seed, prepping and planting of an acre brassica plot at a property we get to bow hunt before and after firearms season....only to learn now that firearms is done we are not being...

Have a good line on some cheap through local soil and water. Use will only be for a hedge along a property edge/access route to a stand. I like the idea of what they provide for insects and birds but curious if anyone has experience with either. Spot will be drier area soil wise and is a...

I was discussing switchgrass and such with a buddy and he started telling me of a friend of his farm where they literally planted 100's of rhizomes per acre, by year 4 the area was incredible he claimed. I asked him to get some pictures but has this crossed anyone's minds? I mean I've had great...

This is a buck off the 22 acres I bought just last year. Named Gary last year he was a budding 5x5 but had a non typical 5 to 6 inch tine shooting in off his right beam after his G2 last season....fast forward to this year and he messed his left side up and his "strong side" right side blew up...

Alright, as many of you know from my land thread (which I need to update) my property I bought is LITTERED with wild pear trees...just insane amount of them in some areas. So, I've decided with the over abundance of them I have the perfect chance to experiment with grafting over the pears to...

Okay, so design habitat - no problem...execute bedding scultping - no issue....food plots - got it....however never really pushed into the fruit tree realm much. Just planted an assortment of 6 different Apples and 2 Pears. Not budding out yet and only been in the ground for about a week now...

Need nursery recommendations any of you have had good experiences with? The nursery I'm grabbing apple/pears from doesn't dabble in much outside fruit trees so going to look elsewhere. Any direction or thoughts appreciated.

SOLD FOR ASKING So before the purchase of my 22 acres all I did was small plots, now with large stuff Pops and I bought a full fledge tractor + disc and such and the ground hog max never left the garage floor as we chose to buy a tractor instead of a heavier duty ATV for this thing. I bought...

I am from Northern, IN and willing to drive 3-4 hours for a trusted and well priced option nursery wise for fruit trees (apple and pears). Any experienced folks have recommendations? (not fruit section but also note looking for some hybrid oak nursery recs as well)

On my new 22 acres purchased March of 2016 I want to begin incorporating fruit trees and have decided for starters going the apple route (may have a line on a couple Pear locally). My question though is outside of 2 tiny sparse productive crabs no apple trees will be within 2-4 hundred yards...

Some of you may have read about the New 22 property I was blessed to purchase in the spring of this year...one of the main areas I'm going to encourage bedding/sanctuary is a old fallow field. Now judging from aerials, this section has been fallow for probably around 10 years...some cedars are...

Going to be incorporating American Plums onto the New Property, couple questions for those that have utilized them. I plan on keeping them pruned significantly to encourage a bush style and send shoots around base which I've ready many have had success with. However, those that have experience...

Being somewhat new to this site I won't assume everyone is a familiar face and introduce myself briefly. Name is Ty Miller and I am from the Northern edge of Indiana in Elkhart County (hunt primarily/grew up) and St. Joseph County (currently reside). Some may recognize me from other forums or...
