Impressive work. Was that all in one day?

My experience with hard maple is that they are very difficult to kill by girldling without some heavy duty chemicals. The Harper cocktail calls for 10% imazapyr, which is a pretty gnarly substance. Personally, I won't mess with it. Some of the herbicides have been shown to have serious...

I hope not, but time will tell. I think the China connection might be more significant than we realize. Apparently there was a Chinese delegation there to meet with Maduro when he got snatched, and the vast majority of Venezuelan oil goes to China. This move has the potential to be...

Well I was on track, but it seems there is also a China connection and possible Israel connection. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. There are a lot of factors that will be difficult to predict. I really don't want another drawn-out 20 year trillion dollar war with an...

I would not girdle acres of hard maple. Do your best to get a logger in there.

I wouldn't mess with it until you have a proper wrench.

No. He has a few facts right, but his conclusions are wrong, probably because he can't do math. Venezuela hardly produces any oil. Less than 1% of global production. This is the reason they currently have the largest reserves, they haven't been able to produce any significant amount for...

$2.09 several places along the interstate in Ohio. I think the low prices are because of Saudi Arabia, not Venezuela. But if we can start getting Venezuelan oil over to US refineries, it would be a good mix for the light sweet shale oil, and we could potentially see cheap gas in North...

What do you mean by this?

Yeah, I just think it's a nothing burger. I almost always get three months at a time, and so does everyone in my family. I pay my copay, but it's a small price to pay compared to running out of something important. The Minnesota thing is pure fraud. And it's not limited to Minnesota. People...

If you don't have a good wrench, get one. If you do have a good wrench, fire several rounds to warm up the barrel, and try with a good wrench, and maybe even a pipe over the wrench handle to give you more leverage.

Is this even a story? They relaxed the rules under Covidd, more medicine went out. Who wasn't squirreling away medicine during the pandemic?

Yeah, I read that raccoons and coyotes will take their share, but I will try to control them a bit, and I'm not worried about them opening up a few. I figure it will help get the sweet melon smell in the air and get the deer to come looking for a sugary treat.

I have pumpkins and winter squash in my cart. Going to try a few varieties, but all of them are late-season crops, and reports are that they can be hit or miss.

Anyone try this? Internet says deer like melons, but I can't find anything about intentionally growing then for deer. It would be an early season play, but would it work?

E. Good balance on a large tract, and I love the blank slate. In 5 years it would be a paradise with minimal effort.

I just bought something similar for that reason. I wanted something easy and relatively quiet to move around during the season. I can put it up against a tree if I want to but it's not necessary. Got it on super sale at Menards...

That looks like a great suppressor. I'll probably get one of those.

You guys are describing one of the reasons I really like a diverse mix. Monoculture or low diversity can be hit or miss. A diverse mixture gives a much higher chance that the deer will find something they like in the mix and probably more likely to eat the other plants in the mix that they may...

Could you plant cover crops? If they are so concerned about profit margin, you might be able to get permission to plant something along the edges of the fields.
