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.

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...

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...

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...

Hey Guys, I have a Land Pride 606nt that I bought a couple months ago and am itching to use. I bought about 300 pounds of forage oats and I am going to try an experiment. I've mowed the pasture and the pasture is completely dormant. Saturday I'm going to drill in a few one acre or smaller...

I'd like to start doing the "buffalo system" in my established cool season pastures full of fescue brome and orchard grass. Is there anything I can drill into closely mowed sod that will smother it? I'd like to avoid glyphosate if I can but I'm thinking that isn't really practical. Tillage in...

I have a new ozark farm that I'd like to get some foodplots in and a soil building program going. I have somewhere around 70 acres of pasture and I'd like to get some plots going on some of it. I have invested in a Great PLains 3p606nt no till with all the boxes. Most of the pasture is cool...

I would be interested in you guess as to the age of this deer ethos season

My boy got this fella the other day. A pretty good buck for the ozarks. This is our first season at the new place and the body size of the two deer we’ve taken this year are much better than I have previously taken in SW mo. I’m about 10 miles west of Grant Woods proving grounds.

My new farm in the ozarks is big and hilly. My old Deere 4010 is 2wd and has a high center of gravity and no roll bar. Decided to take advantage of the low financing rate and go for it. I’m lucky the big dealership in Springdale still had some of this hard to find stuff. They gave me the drill...

My dad is almost 80 he lives in Indiana almost 8 hours away. He is forbidden by his doctors from lifting more than 10 pounds. His feet are numb and he falls regularly and deals with daily pain. In the fall he plants a little rye in a meadow behind his house and sits in a comfortable chair in a...

Got this guy Saturday stone county mo. Really big for this area

I’m building a house at my farm. My summer project was to make an 18 foot king post truss for my covered patio. Framing crew installed it recently. I cut down three large white oaks milled the timbers into 8x12 and 8 by 10 timbers and cut mortise and tennon joinery. It’s pegged together with 1...

Moving to the ozarks. This is stone county not far from where grant woods is as a crow flies. It’s 434 acres with about 75 of it in pasture. Woods are mostly white and red oaks. Buildings up north are gone. Been overgrazed and the cattle let into the woods. That’s table rock lake it touches...

There was a wind storm last summer that toppled several big oaks. I was able to get them on my sawmill and made one “hell for stout” frame for a little wood shed for my in-laws. My son and I erected it last week just need to saw up a few rafters and floor and put the tin roof on.

I have owned this 49 for ten years. Beautiful property about 7 acres flat good bottomland pasture that I food plotted. Two creeks beautiful rock bluffs. Secure can’t see into property from road. Good deer hunting mostly woods/hay ground nearby so food plots bring deer in. Not uncommon to have a...

I have several items I’d like to sell located near Fulton Missouri. I bought a new farm in sw mo and will not be doing the same type of work. I have a John Deere 727 gyro mower which is a 14 foot brush hog. It needs a new hydraulic hose. I mowed with it using a Deere 4010. Made short work. I...

I think we all ought to wear a good belt. I made a video on how I do it. Workmanship isn't the best you can get, but the materials may be.

I bought a wood stove for my cabin which has 5 steps. I think this stove weighs between 3 and 4 hundred. I was alone, after some head scratching I cut down a tree strapped it to the bucket, tied the stove to the tree, backed the pickup out, then poked the tree through the cabin door. Not a time...

I made a video of how I made a ladder to access a loft in my cabin from logs on the property. I think its a decent method that results in an attractive and sturdy ladder. cabin ladder
