I'm renewing my continuous crp and with the practice I'm doing, I will get to plant 4 rows of shrubs. I think elderberry and wild plum are bombproof but does anyone have a shrub that they would tout as deer candy in a shrub? (This is in southeast NE) Thanks for pondering and especially if you...

I've noticed the past couple years when I have spot sprayed 24d in my bean fields that the beans were set back but then came out well after a couple weeks. They were over sprayed heavily when I targeted the marestail and waterhemp growing in them. Some were hit lightly but some took a bath...

I received the plan for a 4 row shrub plan using elderberry and plum as the shrubs. I told the nrcs that I would like 2 rows of plum and 2 rows of elderberry when adding to my crp plan. The lady sent me the plan today and she divided the shrub rows by the north half is plum and south is...

Just passing along some info a farmer friend of mine told me this weekend. " I may want to buy my glyphosate now as his agronomist told him they didn't know if glyphosate would be available next spring" Don't know the whole story behind the reason but perhaps there may be some truth in it. I...

I am planting 1450 trees and shrubs next week in a crp project. The nrcs office gave me instructions that I had to rototill the rows for planting to make a better planting bed. I rented one and tilled last November. In my opinion one can't get it deep enough to what it should be for best...

Here are the vets who rifle hunted my farm and my folk's farm this year. They had a great hunt with lots of deer seen and choices to make. The second pic is of our neighbor's pup who took a liking to the two vets and spent a morning helping look for deer. They said Sophie didn't impact the hunt...

Here is a blind I made from a 1200 gallon tank that previously was used for holding molasses at a feed mixing company. I have a little over 200 in it. The vast majority of items needed to complete it were repurposed from waste from other projects/jobs. The windows are vertical sliders that...

I've been spraying sericea lespedeza the last few days and am amazed at the number of deer beds I found in there. I do this every year and this year was exponentially more than last year. The plots are 2.3 and 1.7 acres. They started out as mono cir switch ten years ago, 4 years after planting...

Anybody have any knowledge on these. Our state forester put out an email educating us about them and I watched the videos he attached. I got em thick. I'm not sure what they will do to my fruit trees on the farm but almost every cedar I look at has a load of bag worm shelters attached to many...

I'm torn between 3 and 4. The below two pics are from Jan. 9, 2018 and December 25, 2018. I was sure he was 3 last year but I would like your opinions. Thank you. Disregard date of cedar cam pic. I believe him to be 3.5. What do you think. Thank you.

I planted my first fruit trees, pear and apple in 2009 from Century Farm Orchards. It included two varieties of pear and 7 variety of apple that covered early, mid, and late drop times. Since that time I have planted about 90 more fruit trees, of those 3 were peach, 2 apricot, 8 persimmon, 10...

My friend planted rye last fall and is going to let it go to seed. He asked me if he could just mow it down in August and it would reseed itself. I said it might but I would heavily overseed rye over the standing dead rye and then mow it down and hope for rain. Is that a good plan? He just...

I ordered 700 red cedar and 50 swamp white oak, and 750 various shrubs from them for this spring. They have always been great to work with and the product I have received from them has been of very good quality. This year all was the same except the red cedars were poorly packed on top of...

I have put in screens of miscanthus giganthus backed/fronted (depending on how one looks at it) with cedars and/hybrid willows, poplars, and cedars. The miscanthus will be on its third year this year and basically was a good screen already last year. Because of the tough winter conditions this...
