    Acorns

    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...

    Brassicas and clopyralid

    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...

    Common Tansy

    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...

    Best burndown option

    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...

    Waterhemp - disaster

    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...

    Feeling defeated

    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...

    Cool season grass management

    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...

    New strategy

    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...

    Clover/Chicory/Alfalfa

    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...

    Need some opinions -- thoughts on age?

    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.

    Deer pasture mix

    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...

    Target buck down

    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...

    Oak wasp gall?

    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
