    Pond water for spraying

    I remember reading somewhere that there may be something in pond water that deactivates roundup. Is that correct and if so is there something you can add to it to negate the effect. I have a bunch of standing water available and would assume use it vs hauling a bunch of water. Think it has been...

    Tukey with Bow

    Is there any guys that chase Turkeys with archery? If so what is your recovery rate? Where I am going with this is I shot one with a bow 3 years ago and never recovered it. I vowed that I would never hunt them with archery again because they don't leave a blood trail like a deer. Well this year...

    3pt Cultivators

    Does anyone have a 3pt chisel plow or cultivator that they really like? I have a Dearborn cultivator but I have broke a couple shanks already. I want something that will rip up the soil better and be a little more rugged. http://www.bushhog.com/catalog/tillage/plows//all-purpose-plows/ I kind of...

    LP Smartside

    I guess this is a longshot, but looking for some advice from any carpenters on here. I moved in a old granary to convert into cabin on my property. One of my winter projects was to put new siding on. I decided to go with the smartsiding. Well it turns out you are supposed to prime all cut edges...

    Radish after frost

    What happens to radish after a frost? Will the leaves stay green and keep growing till it gets too cold? I got a pretty good plot of radish that the deer are starting hit pretty hard, but would like to get a little more out of. Would it be of any benefit to still add some nitrogen? I do know...

    Brush Mower Gaurds

    Do you guys with 3pt mowers, run the chains in front or some kind of guard? I know I haven't had anything come close to hitting me but stuff does shoot out the front at times.

    Yellow Barassicas

    I got some barassicas started about 2 weeks ago. Now the rain wont stop and notice that they are quite yellow on the lower side of the plot. Will they recover if it dries out, or would it be better to work up and start over when it turns around?

    Pollinator Planting

    Has anyone on here done the pollinator planting for one of the nrcs programs? If so was it very slow to establish? I did a planting in early June, I have some small plants emerging but not nearly as much as I figured and the ones that have are still very small. I don't really want to replant so...

    Hauling Storage Container?

    Has anyone on here tried hauling a storage container themselves? I found a trailer that will work. Got a half ton truck with trailer brake control and the container weighs 4500. Would you guys be afraid to try and tackle moving it 200 miles with that set up. They would load it, still trying to...

    Ecoboost Owners

    I bought a 2013 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost. The thing that I am not liking is that on the initial startup of the day it takes 3 to 5 seconds of cranking before it fires up. I feel like this cant be normal to this motor. It has been cold out but not that cold. Any owners out there experience...

    Pole Shed Question

    So I am planning to build a shed that would basically be split in 2, 2/3 garage and 1/3 living. I had thoughts of pouring concrete in just the living portion. Maybe overthinking but what I was wondering is since the posts would be below the frost line and the concrete above, would the concrete...

    Single Gang Disc

    Does anyone have one of these old pull behind, single gang discs? Can get one for cheap just wondering if they are even worth messing with. I do realize that transportation would not be as easy a 3 pt or one with wheels. I have a pretty small tractor so I cant pull a big 12' tandem.

    Farm Rental

    Does anyone on here rent out a portion of their land for cash rent? The question I have, is do they subtract land that isn't actually farmed? For instance road R/W, ditches and little patches of trees. Or if you have 40 do they pay on 40 acres, and just figure all the irregularities into it...

    Tractor 6v to 12v

    There has to be a couple of old tractor guys on here. I am panning to convert a old farmall to 12v this year. Question is would it cause any harm to throw in a 12v battery and just plug in the voltage resistor to the coil, for temporary use? Now I realize that full conversions involve switching...

    Storage Containers

    I know there is some old threads on here about guys converting them into storage sheds on their properties. Unfortunately it seems that most of the photos have been lost due to photobucket. I am strongly considering one and adding a lean on the side. My question is to the guys that have one, are...

    Fergusen 3pt Cultivator

    Any opinions out there on these? I have been looking for one and found one. Do they do a decent job of tillage? The guy said it doesn't get much penetration, but he has the big sweeps on the ends. I was thinking of putting the smaller chisel tips on.

    Tick Question

    So the last 2 years I have noticed some tiny ticks on the heads of the deer I have taken. I think I understand the whole deer tick cycle. The adult ticks are active in the fall and in the early spring. These ticks are not adult deer ticks, they seem to be more the size of nymphs. So my question...
