    Sanity check - wanting to enroll in CRP

    I just enrolled 15 acres into NRCS eqip pollinator program. Plowed in brome grass and planted various food plot crops, then had the NRCS guy come out and confirm that the land was in a “crop”. I was then able to apply for NRCS eqip programs. No waiting 4-6 years like CRP. Mine is in a 3 year...

    Is clethodim safe for raspberries?

    Sick of weeding the raspberry patch that the deer won’t let get more than a foot tall. I’m guto let the grass/ weeds grow and maybe spray to provide some protection.

    Drilling into standing Rye

    I notilled some annual pollinator mix into standing rye 8 days ago and it didn’t hurt the rye at all. The mix seems to be coming up well with the rain over the last few days. They had the rye grazed down to about 4” though and the white clover I planted with it last summer failed due to 4+...

    Alfalfa suggestions for central MN?

    I am going to put in a couple of acres of alfalfa later this summer. Any suggestions for Douglas/Todd/Ottertail county MN area? Sandy loam soil that will never get waterlogged. Mainly looking for something disease resistant and winter hardy that won’t break the bank. It will be baled off. Thanks

    BOB clover blends.

    I agree to avoid any mix with perennial rye ( not to be confused with winter/cereal rye which is a great cover crop for fall clover planting). As mentioned before, perennial rye is like lawn grass and can be very difficult to get rid of. Luckily the local feed store in Alexandria, MN (the...

    LAND OWNERSHIP

    I agree with everyone else. My Uncle left my property to the five nieces and nephews. Lucky for me that either they didn’t want to or couldn’t afford to buy in and split ownership of the property. The next generation will be the ones that will have the issues. You might be better off selling out...

    No-till drill into corn stubble for Switchgrass or NWSG’s

    Many of the local NRCS have no-till drills you can rent. The one in my county has a special box for planting fluffy NWSG’s. They deliver it and set it up for you for $25, then charge $10/acre (10 acre minimum). You can even have them plant it for you using their equipment if you don’t have a...

    How do YOU find a good butcher?

    I thought I was pretty good at butchering deer until I learned from a retired butcher who did deer processing. Proper wrapping is pretty important. Although vacuum sealing is far superior, we wrap ours with butcher paper. Totally agree with Yoderjac on the field dressing. Drag your deer out to a...
