Take a head and roll it between your hands, shell out the kernels; however, you want to say it. If the kernels are formed, I would say you are good to go. They will continue to dry whether you spray or not.

I need to build a decent spray rig. I am of the mind set that the better quality ones are way over priced for what you are really getting. The cheaper ones are a piece of garbage that last about 6 months. I built a cheap (temporary) rig for the back of the 4 wheeler for spraying my cool season...

It is SUPER loud at our place right now as well. Amazes me just how loud frogs can be. Science question .... why are they so loud? Seems to me that when your mating partner is probably only a few yards away that your sound carrying 100s of yards isn't really biologically necessary? Maybe frogs...

The neighbor who shares a highway entrance with us over at the farm called the county and complained that they weren't keeping the shoulder up very well where we both turn to come into our driveways. They dumped a load of AB-3 and it has stayed in place well through the rains we have had this...

Yea I probably cursed myself... went and picked up my soybean seed this morning as it was too wet to do anything after I drug all the rock back on the driveway at the farm that got washed to the bottom of the hill. There was a lot of lightening last night in certain cells as well. I love a good...

Yea just under 3" for us in about 45 minutes. Helped the ponds. Enough little hail that I am sure that my wife's new vehicle suffered some light hail dings. At least we didnt have a tornado. Breached one of the egress window openings in the basement of the new house so now I get to hose the mud...

For Catscratch my science friend! LOL

I have seen arguments for longer scion length in other forms of grafting (other than benchgrafts), saying there is more stored energy in the scion to keep the buds viable during the time the callus is forming. We are thrifty with our scion though as we seem to run short on occasion, that and it...

However long it needs to be to have 2 viable buds on it.

I have had photos of up to 5 deer around the big tank at one time. Tons of squirrels use the water tank as well as a pretty significant number of song birds. It would be neat at some point to put a live action camera in place on that tank. I am surprised that I don't recall having a single...

Stagnant water doesn't bother deer at all that I have noticed. I have seen them drink out of some nasty looking ponds, mud holes, etc....

The 1st tank I put in holds 300 gallons, but on average it probably has 200 gallons in it. This tank will hold 115 gallons. I can fill it easy enough where it sets so I am not worried about it being smaller. I use whatever tank I can get for cheap! I feel like digging them into the ground very...

Got a 2nd water tank set today. Should be a good spot. Man the deer love the one I put in last year, they use it constantly. This one is located at a bottle neck between the north and south plots, 20 yard shot from the box blind that we built. Clover that got planted last Spring is looking good...

Obviously hard to tell, but it is kind of neat to look at trail camera pictures this time of year. You can see the different body sizes without being influenced by what you see for antlers. This guy looks to have some years on him .... only time will tell what kind of antlers he will produce...

They just finished setting the poles today. Electrician will come out as soon as the weather permits ( forecast is rain for 3 days). He will put in a temporary construction panel on a post. Electrical company will come back to hook up the meter and panel. Eventually it will be underground from...
