French Onion soup in the kitchen, while the smoker did magic on a pork butt. Maybe the best sandwich I've ever made.

You might ask your farmer about herbicides and any residuals that he's been using. And, I'd expect a rash of weeds like marestail to pop up if you let the wheat go. With that said a nice weedy field can make wonderful deer and bird habitat.

Hulled or unhulled?

Never heard that the red meat is where heavy metals and pesticides is accumulated. Is there testing or research that show that? I'm curious now. I cut all the red meat out of big flatheads and catfish. Do a chutch fish-fry every yr and even the picky eaters think it's all crappie. It...

Eh, not that interesting.

I've watched yotes eat pumpkins. This yr I had rabbits eating them inside the milo plot where the deer weren't going.

I like mellons.... in fact I LOVE MELLONS!!! The wife might say I like them an unhealthy amount, or at least an annoying amount. For deer I plant pumpkins.

Huge grin!!!

Did Throw-n-mow for about 30yrs. Clovers and cereal grains mostly with some experimenting with big seed like beans and pumpkins. Recently started tilling some of my plots. TnM is great with good rains. Tillage is more involved. I'm getting more consistent results with tillage... and I...

I don't know that they ever went into it. They made trails around it but I never saw a deer in it. Sunflowers made it, and rabbits ate the pumpkins. Birds were in it constantly! Deer were in it after I mowed it. I had an exclusion cage. Inside and outside looked no different.
