    Another Milo question

    Do you guys have issue with tree rats(squirrel and coons) getting at the Milo during summer and early fall? This is one of my biggest problems with corn, tree rats eat and destroy so much of it before fall even gets here. Deer don't seem to touch it much at all until mid October, but the tree...

    Redneck customer service

    2-4D on winter rye

    I have a little bit of new growth ragweed popping up in my newly planted rye, mostly in bare spots. The rye is about a month old. I can hit that with 2-4D correct since rye is a grass, and not hurt the rye?

    Jap beetles yet?

    I have been keeping a close eye out for them but haven't seen them yet. 4 weeks ago I was at fleet and they had Grub X 50% off so I grabbed 2 bags and hit all the short grass hard. My gopher problem went away in 2 days so maybe I killed all the larva.

    Torch weed control

    Has anyone tried burning weeds to kill them in a plot? I know some organic farmers use this method with an attachment behind a tractor, but I was thinking for spot control of gly resistant weeds. a 5lb propane tank and a torch and just walk the bad rows.

    Broken limb

    I messed up bad this weekend. I had a large limb on a mature apple tree that has been growing up right next to the leader. Finally decided to fix this by pulling it down and putting a board between the limbs to hold it. I figured it was warm enough to do this so I pulled the limb down with a...

    Tank is home

    This story dates back a long time, 2013 I believe, but it's a deer I chased for a long time and last year my boy got him. He was 8.5 years old with tons of history. My boy just got him back from the taxidermist and brought him to the farm for his final resting place.
