This is a cool story about a recent archeological find at George Washington's home. I will say that the story becomes tainted by trash later in the article when they have to veer away from the main point of the article to make sure that we are all aware that slaves built most of the plantation...

Obviously hard to tell, but it is kind of neat to look at trail camera pictures this time of year. You can see the different body sizes without being influenced by what you see for antlers. This guy looks to have some years on him .... only time will tell what kind of antlers he will produce...

If there is any benefit to a HOT February its that we finally broke ground on the new house last week! Dang what a long drawn-out process to get started. We were originally hoping to break ground last September, but the bank we were dealing with turned into a complete ($^*% show. They knew well...

Geez all the piss poor proposals this year. Apparently some people are willing to destroy everything if it only benefits their bottom dollar. Article that just appeared in the Topeka paper and re-run by MSN. These proposals are all BS, we can leave the discussion aside about whether KDWP...

Finally got to spend a little more time with the 1st grandbaby for my wife and I. He is a keeper for sure! I think our elbows are a little sore from holding him so much the last couple of days. Its been 24 years since I have really had that much baby time. It was a good time to just reflect a...

Well things in life are always changing and there are new adventures to be found. I have gotten multiple nudges in 2023 from customers, friends, and family to "expand my horizons". I generally haven't expanded in the past few years, because to be honest I am not the "salesman type" and that is...

MSU Deer Lab recently released their latest study. I just watched it on YouTube but here is the printed version if you just want the numbers https://www.msudeer.msstate.edu/results.php?q=deer+movement Listening to the professors is probably a little more enlightening as you can hear what the...

Spent some time continuing demolition today. A little difference between "modern" lumber and the way lumber used to be. Got a stack salvaged for the framing of the elevated blind I hope to put together for the kids to rifle hunt out of. Some of the old stuff is so tight ringed you would need a...

Here is a picture of the ground in my timbered areas. Pretty much closed canopy in most areas. I walked part of it today and marked the trees I want to definitely keep, mostly mature oaks. There are not alot of oaks, probably only a couple dozen trees in a 15 acre area. Anyways I am going to...

This old barn is on the farm we bought last year. The piece on the ground was a lean to that was attached to this side of the barn. Wind separated it last Spring and I went ahead and helped it to the ground with the tractor. Started disassembling it last week. Some of the tin will be the walls...

I think I know what this is but I dont want to taint opinions by my guess. Looking for the general consensus. The only thing is I am supposedly out of the native range of the species, and I know someone did not plant these. There are 2 of them relatively close to each other on my place and I...

Found this info published by UNL on research done by KSU. I was researching to see if my Winter Wheat that I seeded a week or 2 ago had a chance with the below freezing temperatures we had last night and for the next 2 nights. After that it warms back up to highs in the 60s and lows above...

I know, I know I am beating a dead horse, preaching to the choir, etcc... but I shhttt you not. Less than 30 miles away there is a flood warning and we may have gotten a 1/2" of rain. It has been that way for a couple of months now. Every storm loses its strength before it gets to us or...

Not habitat related, but just want to brag on my youngest daughter a bit. Our head high school volleyball coach approached us Dads secretly after the last away game and asked if we would be willing to scrimmage our daughters. Hell yes! LOL It was a fun night. We tried to do our best imitations...

What's the biggest scrape you have ever found? I think this one today might be mine, I do vaguely recall another several years ago under a mulberry that was big. Kind of hard to make it out as the soil color is almost the same as the dead grass color. This one was probably 5' x 5'. Under a big...

It was an awesome night to be a Husker fan and a even greater night to be the dad of a volleyball player who is quickly closing in on her aspirations to play college volleyball. Some of you who follow sports may already know the story, but in a nut shell............. the Husker volleyball...

I absolutely hate buying vehicles from dealers. I would rather hit my thumb with a hammer repeatedly. Hopefully not too many car salesmen on here. I guess those people are at least trying to be employed instead of just living in the basement of their parents house. If the vehicle is for me...

Right now he scores about 2"! LOL

I think I have plates that will work for the JD 1240 planter I purchased this Winter that will work for my field corn and milo/sorghum. However, does anyone have recommendations for a soybean and a smaller black oil sunflower seed? Thank you

Trying to think outside of the box... has anybody come up with a innovative way to apply fertilizer to your food plots? Fertilizer costs are obviously high, if you're using a planter that does not have fertilizer boxes, has anybody found a way to side dress/ band apply fertilizer to your food...
