Scare tactics. Remember the commercials of 1980s of starving kids. Most food shortages have been resolved. Not all, but it’s much better now. Damn global warming helping too many people.
I think no till mimics normal growing cycles so that makes sense to me.
Roller crimping is cool. I like it. But I can imagine it’s not perfect for ag people and they have to time it perfect. My guess is the goal is to probably bake in some loss in yield but hopefully offset with less inputs and...
Yeah. I agree.
Dawg you have to separate farmers from food plotters. We learn to live with weeds to feed deer. If a farmer I could see no till requiring more herbicide.
In Alabama tracts are much larger today than In past. In early 1900s everyone farmed 20-40 acre plots. Now it is large timber farms.
In early 1900s the small plots literally exterminated deer in Alabama. Gone. Zero hunting opportunities. Now with large timber tracts there are more deer than...
I was gonna post the same thing Bill. Seems like a lot of this post runs counter to other posts on shooting young bucks. I think we have to be honest in our overall view and say that most of what is posted here is better for growing older and bigger bucks.
My farm is in a very poor and rural...
I did it for first time last year. Had good success.

Good luck! Learned it all on this board.
Sounds like he was doing the weak gly to promote clover trick, not trying to terminate the whole plot.
I would give it time. I find using weak gly takes several weeks. I also add cleth at full strength when I do that to really nuke the grasses.
