    Carry weapon and holster

    The wife and I are getting our WI concealed carry permits in the near future, although we've never been in a situation where we needed one. We live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Only time we go to bigger towns if to Walmart, Fleet Farm, or one of her doctor appointments. Do you carry...

    Flag Pole

    I bought a telescoping flag pole for the yard a couple of years ago, and it has succumbed to our Wisconsin winds. Looking for one about 20 feet tall that's durable enough without costing an arm and a leg. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Best ATV for plowing snow?

    Well I was going to ask you guys, but then I thought I'd ask Google AI. Is anyone dead set against any of these brands mentioned, or for them? It'll be used to plow our driveway and most likely the MIL' s as well. Only had to do it twice so far this winter. Other than that just rides around our...

    Riding mower shuts off

    I've got one of those cheap Chinese made Huskee 42" riding mowers, and it's giving me fits. It is 8 years old and I'm the only owner. I put new blades on it a couple weeks ago, then the belt broke. Put a new belt on, which seems very tight. Now after starting it up and mowing, it shuts off in...

    When to trim low branches?

    With all the rain we've got so far my young trees are growing like crazy. Lots are trying to kick out branches below the top of their cages. I do my pruning in late winter, but is it alright to trim those off now?

    Apple rankings

    Stumbled across this website today. It's worth a look when you've got free time. Not sure the rankings are accurate to my tastes, but the reviews made me chuckle. https://applerankings.com/pick-an-apple/

    Wisconsin duck hunters - Northern opener

    Me and my duck hunting crew live and hunt in the southern zone. But we've tried to hit the Northern opener the past few years. Since I'm just a passenger, we go where the boat owners want to go. Which seems to be just above the zone border, where everyone and their brother goes as well. We go...

    What left this behind?

    Any idea what left this behind? The large seeds looks like a plum. The smaller are probably some type of wild cherry. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

    Strange leaf coloring

    This was a grafted tree that grew fine last year. This year the scion never leafed out, but the seedling rootstock grew several branches below the graft union. The leaves have very strange coloring. Anyone seen this and know what it is? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

    Uploading Pics

    For the past few months I've been having trouble uploading pictures. I click the attach files button, choose the pic, and it uploads fine. But then it doesn't give me the "insert" option. So the picture won't go into my post. Any clues?

    A Microfarm

    I should have started a land tour a long time ago. But I didn't have any hunting success on our property until this past year. Probably 90% of my hunting has taken place on public land, but this year all the domino's fell into place. My wife and I are both unskilled factory workers, living...

    Sunflower cash crop?

    Just wondering if anyone with farmland is switching to sunflowers? I noticed a couple farms in my driving area had switched some acres last year. Then I've seen this quote which leads me to believe sunflower prices will continue to climb. "According to the Brookings Institution, in 2020, 52% of...

    Cage failure

    I've got a bunch of 4 foot cages with 2x4 mesh in my orchard. It's no surprise to find a deer has nipped off the terminal bud on the central leader. I'd like to replace them but the 5' remesh is so expensive right now. But then I go looking and the 5' remesh does not appear to be working at...

    What would you do?

    I've got a Winesap tree that I bought from a big box store 4 years ago. It hasn't really grown at all since, as I've had to cut back the central leader due to dieback a couple years ago. Nothing has grown well enough to take it's place. This year the branches left on it only grew a few inches...

    Rootstock effect on bud break

    Does rootstock have any effect on how early bud break occurs in apple trees? If I have Honeycrisp on 3 different rootstocks, say B118, M111, and B9, will they greenup at different times or all together? I have 30 seedling apples that I'm going to graft varieties onto. Most show no signs of...
