Mornings and daytime hardly any, but the evenings they come out in NW Wisconsin.

The soil sample came back, low on ph, low on potassium, and low on magnesium. I wasn’t able to find Dolomitec lime locally, so I just bought regular lime, and spread it, 2 tons per acre. I will amend the potassium with some 0-0-60, but with the low magnesium I have a question, do I just get some...

Or, buy Made made in America, and not have to pay for Tariffs, and you support your country. Sorry, just a radical thought.

I planted right before a decent rain the past few years, they would grow about an inch or so, then no rain for a month +, and nothing grew after that, other than weeds. So to save the plots I would plant winter rye, oats, winter wheat, and clover the beginning of September, and even that would...

First of all I am in NW Wisconsin zone 3b. I have had little luck the past 3 years in having anything decent as for a food plot. Previously to this I could grow baseball size radish and turnips, in a mix of clover, and winter rye, now I am lucky if I get pea size radish and turnips. My thought...

This is us in a nutshell.

I have another question for you guys. How much is enough for retirement? I can figure what I make now with inflation, but what I make now, I could easily live off half of what I earn now. Factor in social security, the lack of any house loan payments, because I would hope I dont take out...

Anyone have updates on fertilizer prices?

My mortgage I have now is at 2.25%, with about 5 years left, I don’t want to mess with the low interest. Heloc or conventional, whichever has the best rates. The plan would be to have it paid off within 10 years. I agree with Dogs that 7% may be hard to best, but if we use it on the addition...

So I have a question for you guys. I am not really active in the stock market. We have an investor for our 401k, and a couple other IRAs, but my wife came apon a small ($40k) inheritance, and is wondering what to do with it. We don’t need the cash for anything right now, but we are planning g on...

Lots of empty government buildings here in the US I hear!

If history repeats itself, the market will recover in less than a year or 2. Which for anyone that is more then a few years from retirement, this is a great time to buy, with expectations for huge profit in the next 3-5 years. But for those that need to pull money out in the next couple years...

I bought open cab with rops, and glad I did. I would say within the first few weeks of owning it I backed into a low branch that would have easily busted out windows, and damaged the cab, but other than some paint missing from the rops bar, nothing else happened. But most of my tractor work is...

I am a SpaceX nerd, so I do follow a lot of Elons stuff. Elon has cut a couple of his own benefits, one being the $7500 electric vehicle rebate, also cut a solar rebate, which cuts a lot of potential money from his pocket. I believe he also cut the 400 million dollar electric military truck that...

Now I dont know for sure, but this is what I heard come out of the Presidents mouth, that Elon, and most of the young kid helpers are either doing it for free, and some where Elons programmers form his companies, and Elon is still paying them to work for Doge from his companies. I know there...
