Had someone tell me last summer that I should no-till soybeans into winter rye in the spring. I planted winter rye in a plot last fall, and its growing good now this spring, but I have a couple questions for the guys that have done this.. 1) When should I plant beans? I heard that I should...

I have a 1 acre plot that currently has clover in it, and then rye was broadcasted into it this fall. I want to get rid of the clover next year and plant soybeans there instead. Whats the best way to get rid of the clover and plant the soybeans? In another plot, I have rye in there and was...

I am limited on my available acres for food plots because they are planted into CRP. One of my plots will be a 1.5 acre soybean plot, which I will then overseed with brassicas/rye later in the year. I'm going to make 2 of my plots smaller for next season so I am freeing up 1/2 acre to add to...

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I just saw it for the first time on another forum today. I came across a fix for seeing old threads with Photobucket images that now have the images blocked. Some clever fellow developed a browser extension that manages to circumvent the Photobucket...

I have a small plot of clover that went dormant over the summer during the hot and dry conditions, so it looks kinda black and stemmy (and the buds are all dried up)..Now that we have been getting a little moisture and the temps are starting to cool down, will the clover naturally green up and...

Looking for some opinions.. I have a 1 acre plot of clover that was just planted this spring. The clover was doing great earlier in the year, coming in very thick and full, and got to be about 8" tall. Then it stopped raining and we haven't had hardly any all summer, so needless to say, my...

Sorry if this has been asked, but now that photobucket is "gone", what are you guys using? I tried flickr, but it seems very confusing to navigate, tried google photos but for some reason, when I posted the URL link it gave me for my photo, nothing showed up? I would like something that is...

I have a clover plot that I planted this spring, and I fertilized it heavily prior to planting (soil test showed very low numbers). I had an awesome stand of clover growing up until about mid June when it dried out and we haven't had any rain to speak of since May, so the plot looks pretty sad...

Has anyone come up with some sort of a way to put a "marker" on your wheeler so you can see where you've gone with your seeder/sprayer? Similar to a marker on a planter. I'm thinking something like a disk blade that goes in the receiver hitch. Maybe unnecessary, but I just think sometimes it...

I know its best to plant brassicas and clover into a firm seedbed and then pack over them, but I'm helping a friend with a food plot and neither of us have a cultipacker, so I'm wondering what the next best option is.. The plots have been cultivated and are ready to be planted. Should we...

Going to be broadcasting some brassicas soon, and the local seed dealer sells a mix that is all forage brassicas (I'm pretty sure its mostly rape). Is there an advantage to planting all forage brassicas with all above-ground growth over a mix that has turnips and radishes in it?

I have been checking out your homemade cultipackers and have plans to build one myself, but I'm not sure what size culvert to use. I want to make it between 48-54" wide so that covers my 4-wheeler tracks. If I use a 12" tile, filled solid with concrete, it would weigh around 450# without the...

New guy here from Iowa. Been reading through lots of topics on this site and love all the knowledge here! I have a few questions for you guys and I'd like to get your suggestions... I live and hunt on 80 acres (timber and CRP mix), and the timber was very mature, very open, not much foliage...
