    Charcoal crusty black pepper outside 125 degrees inside! Pop can’t walk too good so I drove him to the plot in the atv and we waited till the doe group showed up. Our favorite breakfast.

    The old cereal rye growing in bed of pickup….

    This is some I spilled when loading the drill in my gravel driveway.

    Interesting observing what deer like to eat when you live with them

    I moved into my new home around June 1 and its been very enjoyable living here where I can check the plots everyday and observe the wildlife daily. My old farm was in central MO and the deer loved brassicas. By this time of year they would be grazing like cattle by 2 PM on purple top turnips...

    Is there no love for the 22LR?

    22lr is king! I now live on 460 acres and shoot or at least carry guns daily. Its cheap to shoot. It takes a lot of shooting to become a good shot. I can't imagine learning to shoot a handgun well without the 22. Even now if I shoot a lot of heavy recoiling revolvers I can sense a touch of...

    Row marker for no till

    I just came in from drilling in 550 pounds of rye 20 pounds of turnips and 50 pounds of radishes with my Gp606nt drill. I brush hogged the plots and sprayed a few weeks ago. It was really hard to see where I had been. When I was a kid our planters had drags that flipped over and in the powdered...

    Time to drill some turnips. 3p606nt

    Thanks. Have you ever had trouble with the drive wheel not making contact? I have to keep my top link pretty short to keep that wheel hitting the ground. Seems like the press wheels are not pushing down. I had the depth adjusted all the way shalllow probably not an issue planting deeper.

    Time to drill some turnips. 3p606nt

    Deer in missouri seem to hammer turnips in sept and October. Then there is a break before they come back. I do rye and turnips used to do half and half and rotate. I think I’m going to switch to a mix and try to improve my soils which is poor here on my new ozark farm.

    Time to drill some turnips. 3p606nt

    I read the other thread and decided to calibrate. Setting 25 was throwing about 3.6 lbs. little spiders sure made a mess with their webs in the drop tubes. Anyone figure out a good way to clean those? Also those wire clips were clearly designed by the devil himself.

    Time to drill some turnips. 3p606nt

    I’m thinking of drilling in some purple tops. I want to use the small box for the first time. Only thing in the book is rape and only for the main seed box at rates too heavy. I’d like to drill around 4 pounds per acre. The 3 point makes it very difficult to calibrate simply no room. Any body...
