Some of the input I am looking for is row spacing and tree spacing. I was thinking of 16’ between rows to aid in ease of weed control until grasses establish themselves. Another question is continuous weed mat or squares around the trees? Should I vary the trees in rows or plant blocks of...
I have a local irrigation supply house that is designing the drip system for me. When we installed the irrigation pivot we had them oversize the pump to allow me to utilize that pump to supply my drip system.
I am more interested in pheasants, but i do have a large deer population which will cause some problems, I intend to run a couple of hot wires around it to discourage them and the elk from destroying it.
I am in a dry part of south central Montana, but I do have plenty of irrigation water available and good soil. I also will be putting a drip system in. I was thinking Buffalo berry, juniper and maybe choke cherrys. Not sure on amount of rows, but thinking 3-4.
I am looking into planting a 1800 foot tree row, it will be outside the reach of the end gun of an irrigation pivot and I will be able to install a drip system for irrigation. This will be mostly shrub type stuff to discourage the predatory birds roosting and picking off my grouse and pheasants...
I mowed the standing crop in early March with my moco and burned the windrows. Last week we ditched 30" ditches in it prior to planting for irrigation flow.
I will echo River-X's comments, I just started using my Genesis 10 and have planted into unharvested corn, sorghum and sunflower fields that were mowed and burned this spring with no issues.
I use the same sprinkler in my yard, I used the WB20 as well as the high pressure Honda or a cheapo 2" Pacer pump, Big B's numbers match what I see. I run two sprinklers on each pump and do not see much distance loss over one, I am only running 2-3 hundred feet from the pump with no rise in...
I have a 606NT Great Plains, it works well in soil that has been worked or soil with minimal debris. I just purchased a 10' Genesis and will be using that this year, other than looking good and being real heavy I do not have a report yet.
Here is a picture of mine on Sept 18 with 15” rows. Now that it has froze and been snowed on you can see down the rows of grain sorghum, as of now the deer have not touched it.
I planted Sorghum on 15" row spacing, flood irrigated this year. Half of the field was a blend of forage and grain Sorghums (Blizzard Buster) and half was a blend of grain sorghums (Covey Rise). I am trying to create good winter cover for birds, both of the blends did very well but after some...
I have 24 acres of Corn(12), Sorghum (8) and Sunflowers (6). They will not be harvested, I will not know what's going to be left until the deer, elk and winter get done with them. Has anyone been successful
spraying and no-till planting right back into it between the rows or do I need to plan...
