Other than GardePro cams for $40 i haven't really paid attention to non-cell options for a handful of years. Anything out there worth considering? No-glow flash, trigger time, reliability being big focus. I had a handful of browning dark-ops of various models in the past that were reliable for...

The Mrs wants a couple pear trees at home for us. We are just northwest of the twin cities metro. I know there has to be something that will work because my grandparents had a great pear tree in their yard when I was growing up about 30 miles away. No idea what it was. Looking for...

Saw this article in outdoor news this week. https://www.outdoornews.com/2025/02/12/new-group-forms-to-advocate-for-minnesota-bowhunters/ I was initially excited. When I hear state bowhunting org, I think of the ones in IA, CO, and MT. All of which are adamantly against crossbows for all during...

I’m an idiot and left my drill on soft ground before it froze and now the openers are 2-3” sunk in frozen ground and the tractor won’t lift or pull it out. I was pretty gentle with the pull efforts so I don’t damage anything. Think a propane torpedo heater would thaw a few inches of ground on a...

Does anyone have a recommended source for shipping containers that could deliver in central MN? I need to get one dropped for equipment storage at my land.

A property got listed yesterday that i'm interested in. It is 38 acres split off of a 55 acre parcel with house. The agent says the split needs to be approved by the county and the easement has not been finalized yet. The property is priced well. What would you do to cover your ass on any...

I'm selling this Seekins Havak PH(2?) that has a 26" Bartlein Carbon #4 9 Twist barrel chambered by TS Custom. The chamber was spec'd to seat the 215+ bergers, 0.200" freebore i believe. It has one of the new action/bolts that runs much smoother than the orginal havak actions. Included with it...

I planted a diverse mix this fall where daikon radish was the only brassica in the blend. Looking through my fields, there is lots of "stunted" looking radish. Most tubers are pencil sized but dont show obvious signs of heavy browse. I took a peek at an exclusion cage yesterday and the only...

Anyone used 2,4-DB for lambs quarter control? considering it just in some areas at home where I'm trying to get cleaner clover growth. Might have to grab some imox instead to keep the chicory growing though..

Edit: Esch has been sold. Not really looking to sell the 3p600 unless someone makes an offer that tempts me and I have a line on a 5' esch haha! I can’t figure out which of these two drills I want to keep so I’m going to list them both and let the market decide which sells first! Will list...

https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/content/articles/deer-news/man-admits-he-poached-218-17-pointer-dnr I’m pretty sure sturgis used to live in and hunt this same small town?

I just swapped out this cam after it went dead because bears pulled the cord out that ran to the solar/battery. A week later effin bears are messing with the new cam. This is in the middle of the property I try to stay out of typically thus the solar setup..

Anyone ever used these on a no-till drill? I noticed them on a recent listing for a Truax drill. Makes sense to me to keep seed from being planted too deep when there are high spots. Especially on those truax drills that throw the small seed into the same tube as the large seed. For my uses...

I don't think my land has been owned by an actual farmer/rancher for 30 years but i believe the rancher that sold it back then still took hay bales off it until 4 or 5 years ago. The nutrient levels in the soil are quite low. I've been able to do ok growing some plots but would really like to...

Are there hybrid red varieties looking at like the white oaks we talk about a lot? Thinking about adding some pin oaks to my hybrid SWO plantings because they seem to do well on my wetter ground and are supposed to grow fast. Just curious if there anything that might be better yet than pin oaks.

Got my soil test results back last week and my pH is about the same as it was before I spread 2 tons/acre of 87% ENP dolomitic lime about a year ago. Not really sure how to move forward with that. Basic history: -Sent in samples to U of MN for soil test report last May. Results were 5.6 and...

Any of you guys consider ground pressure when choosing tires for your compact tractors? After learning more about soil, it seems compaction is major concern that doesn't get discussed much by noobs like us using little tractors for food plots. I really like my tractor but the one thing that...

As of right now, i'm abandoning my lick creek'ish split plot plan and going to plant the same blend on nearly all the plots with the exception of a 10' clover/chicory perimeter ring where things are more likely to be shaded. Also like the idea of perennial clover/chicory for when i have burn...

I'm placing an order for this year's fall seed soon. The vendor i'm buying everything else from has rye available now that was harvested last year. I typically buy when the co-op has fresh seed in august. Price is basically a wash but it's one less trip to the store in August for me if I had it...
