I have done a couple selective cut timber harvests before. I basically understand that process. Is anyone familiar with how a clearcut differs? Are there fewer timber companies, or more, that will bid to take everything instead of just certain trees? Are you getting much/any money for the trees...

Anyone ever looked into becoming a deer blind dealer for one of the many companies selling hard shell deer blinds? I'm curious what the discount is and the minimum purchase.

We are converting an older barn into living space. Going to have a local sawmill guy come out and get the wood from our timber and turn it into shiplap for the walls and tongue and groove for the ceilings. Anyone having gone through this have any questions that they are happy they asked or...

4x8 blind. All treated wood. 2x6's for the base with elevators and 3/4" plywood. Roof boards are just sitting there and are not cut or drilled yet. It "feels" heavy and now I'm thinking oh crap, will my Kubota l2501 actually lift this thing when it is finished. My forks are about 6 inches shy of...

Anyone else ever find tractor / implement parts on the barn floor and not be able to figure out where the heck they came from? Pin and a nut from who knows where on my Kubota L2501..... On the bright side I did get a Woods BB60.30 rotary mower for it yesterday and I am super happy with it. A...

Morton quote in October 2020 for a 45x75 barn was $161K (no electric or site prep but it would have been a nice setup). I decided to hold off because I did not like the idea of having to wait 8 months...... Updated quote yesterday $253K.....and still looking at December. Mostly cited labor...

Only two of my 10 or so spypoint micros are AT&T but dang, I wonder how much warning Spypoint had and how quickly they stopped manufacturing and selling these things? https://spypoint.com/hspa

Anyone here ever attempt to sue a trespasser for civil damages? I know this is a very state by state question but I'm looking for some creative thinking regardless of state.

My miniature goats know how to drink water out of an above ground bucket. Cattle clearly understand stock water tanks at windmills. Deer obviously eat out of feeders that don't look natural at all. I'm missing something really obvious. Why do people go through the back breaking effort of...

I am curious what people are willing to pay as a premium to acquire a neighbors land? By premium I mean let's assume you think the land is worth $5k/acre but there is a decent chance somebody will take it at the neighbor's ask of $7500/acre. Are you buying it? Maybe easier to talk in terms of %...

Indiana/Michigan border. We have not had rain in quite a while and the 2 acres I'd like to plant has dirt similar to concrete right now. A couple days of potential rain over the next week. I feel like the cultipacker would not be as effective rolling over this concrete dirt as it would after a...

Anyone order their rye yet? I had picked up a few bags at the local co-op and they were $20/bag. Last year I paid $17 at another place so I figured this was expensive. Called the other place and they are $25 now. Just curious if anyone else is seeing an increase.

I am curious how people balance deer hunting with other kinds of hunting they might do on their property. I feel like the general wisdom of staying out of your deer hunting area (scent, getting in and out, etc.) just gets beaten into people so much that it becomes hard to get yourself to hunt...

Anyone ordered one of these yet? I'm looking for a two person stand and this looks pretty sturdy.

Our farm is normally a weekend place but because of Covid, we've been here since March. 40 acre ag field between our house and our timber. Field directly behind is a view of about 10 acres. Last year it was farmed soybeans. Farmer was rotating to corn this year but we did not want to stare out...

Only 13 hours on my new Kubota L2501 but I love it. Got an everything attachments wicked 55 grapple and have been playing with that today. Moved a bunch of large rolls of chainlink fence. Cleared up a pile of railroad ties. Feeling great.....until I drove over a railroad spike that must have...

https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/for/d/casnovia-deer-blinds/7135109054.html I am curious if anyone has ever bought one of these? Clearly not fancy like the Shadowhunter and others like that, but has to be 1/3 or even 1/4 the price. I'm wondering if they last though. I'm 130 miles away and got...

About two years ago, I had some timber stand improvement done. They went through and girdle cut the undesirable trees. Some of those trees have fallen already but a lot are still standing. Dead, but standing. In two areas I would like to create small forest openings and there are a bunch of...

Our farm came with a handful of abandoned equipment. I finally got a small tractor two weeks ago and have attempted to use some of these old implements. Other things have been repurposed. Turned an old manure spreader into a chicken coop and built a half assed, yet very effective last year...

Anyone maintain a yearly calendar for habitat work? Ordering things, planting dates, etc?
