Well - I have a project of roughly 6 acres I planned to direct seed acorns to create a savannah style area and a riparian buffer. I have been out collecting but my local bur oak produced a ton last year but barely any this year. I'm looking for some northern latitude acorns if anybody in the...

I read the label on stinger, and it says you can spray on brassicas. It's used for sugar beets so I figured it would also work on tillage radishes. Has anyone ever tried spraying clopyralid on brassicas? I have a thistle problem in some areas and want to kill two birds. One area specifically...

Has anybody ever dealt with common tansy? I didn't realize it was an invasive until I contacted my local SWCD for cost share invasive control program for canadian thistle. Thistle is considered a species of concern, but not a priority, while common tansy is considered a priority species...

I have an area I cut trees down forna wildlife opening with hopes of creating beautiful deer bedding and a diverse pocket of natives. I was wrong. All I did was create an area impossible to access with side by side to spray and it has been overtaken with canada thistle, tansy, and cool season...

So I live on the river and have this 2 acre area that was all reed canary grass and canadian thistle last year. I sprayed milestone on the thistle patches and gly on the reed canary. Success. This spring no reed canary or thistle was anywhere. I winter sowed native species and this spring...

So I purchased a 3" high pressure pump 2 years ago to help irrigate my pumpkins using a large sprinkler. I have the opportunity this fall to supply a local grocery chain with pumpkins for Halloween and want to utilize this pump and build an irrigation system that can double to water trees I...

I got a 275 gallon tote. I also have a skid steer. I have a plan to eliminate cool season grasses in my woods and not having to use my side by side. Two questions. 1. what kind of sprayer pump does a guy need if they want to run it off skid steer hydraulics? 2. What is the longest range...

Hey everyone, I've been busy the past couple years trying to formulate a long term plan at my place and trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together to make it a reality on top of multiple house projects to keep the homestead happy :) Back story -- we moved to my fiance's family farm in...

Hey all. Been a minute since I've been frequenting this site but I've still been active in the landscape. In 2020 we moved out to the in laws farm which is a paradise to me as there are giant oaks, tillable ground, and big buck potential. I've been planting food plots and helping that way...

Does anybody here have a lot of fescue or other grasses that are prevalent in their landscape? We just started greenup yesterday, and I'm seeing a lot of green grasses emerging. I dont know how much burning we will be getting done this year as a lot of our duff layer has been dispersed due to...

I'm sure this has come up plenty in light of the current environment. Due to costs of inputs I've decided to construct plots consisting of high diversity mixes with little to to no inputs while hoping to smother weeds and build soil. I've got tons of acreage to work with, so I feel providing...

Hey everyone. I got access to RR sugar beet seed and need to know how much to get. If anybody would like to get some for their place, please PM me. I've planted it in the past, but only an acre at a time and they made craters. THis year I planted about 15 acres of beets, and even after a...

Figured I'd post this here. Opportunity to own my dream property, so figured parting ways will be best way to make it happen. https://www.whitetailproperties.com/hunting-land/minnesota/marshall/great-income-producing-hunting-and-rec-tract-in-nw-mn

Hi all. I know many folks here don't affiliate with QDMA, due to what happened years ago on the other site, but up in NW MN we have created a QDMA branch to help create a group of people with common interests, in an effort to help educate and help people achieve their hunitng/management goals...

So I planted a perennial mix with Clover/Chicory/Alfalfa. We haven't really gotten adequate rainfall on it so it was starting to look disgusting. It's green, but that because of grasses growing. Two questions. The past 4 days it's gotten about 2.5" of rain on it, so it should really bounce...

I'm torn on the age of this guy. My gut tells me 3.5, but I want to say he's 4.5 so I don't feel guilty IF I get lucky and shoot him. Thoughts on this one guys? The other is from last year.

So I've got a field directly behind our cabin that I want to plant into a green perennial mix. I'd like alfalfa, chicory, and clover planted together. I formulated this a while back, but I never really had a plan for which types to use. I know there are many types of alfalfa, and also chicory...

Was pleased to pick up 'stickers' from my taxidermist yesterday. Really impressed, crazy to be able to get him back so quickly.

Well, after many sits this year with little rut activity, I finally got a chance and ended up scoring on a buck I had wanted to get since he showed up in June. It's been a cold season in NW MN, it ended up being -10 the night i shot this guy as well as a doe to get our herd balance in check. I...

I was checking out an area we had mowed down two years ago and noticed on some oak regrowth something that resembles a strawberry growing. It's pretty disgusting to be honest. Is this a wasp fall? I saw it on a few different clumps. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
