I had a similar situation last year where I lost 5 acres to a tornado. I had the state forester come out and he wrote up an EQIP contract to pay me to plant 150 bare root shrubs in places where the canopy was opened up. Hopefully I will have a diverse understory in the coming years. Something to...

Terry had to modify my order and said it was scheduled to ship today. Awaiting the tracking number.

Anyone ever double crop Milo and Soybeans? I want to take a shot at it this year with my no-till drill. I'm trying to figure out if I should mix the Milo and soybeans together and plant on 7.5" rows or should I keep them separate and plant alternating rows. I also plan to come back in around...

I sympathize with you all. We have only had 2 rains in all of August. Spring food plots were a fail and my fall plantings are really struggling, all no-till. Acorns are dropping heavy now in central Ohio and still no decent expectation of rain in the forecast. Hoping to at least be able to...

The NWSG was planted at the same time as the forbs

Good to know. I figured quinclorac would be less risk on the new switchgrass seedlings

Good info. That's exactly my thought process. Just worried I might lose a fair bit of the forbs being choked out by the grasses. I called the NRCS and explained what is going on since this a CRP contract. They were unsure, said they'd have to do some research and get back to me. That was over...

About 7 acres total. Most of the acerage is effected.

I planted a pollinator mix in May of this year. While I can see that a number of the species has germinated, the foxtail, crabgrass, and barnyard grass have really come on this past week. I am worried they will take over and choke out the native forbs I have planted. I am trying to decide if I...

I'm highly considering a blend with those next spring. My only reservation is that I would like to keep the plot standing going into the fall instead of terminating for a fall plot. Maybe I'll try broadcasting some brassicas into it and see if I get any germination. This is the first year I...

Had a failed summer food plot and I'm looking for something that I can plant going forward into the fall that will get some height on it. I've noticed the bucks feel most comfortable coming out into taller food plots that offer more security (corn in the past). Can anyone recommend something...

thanks all for the tips. I'm going to hit the tree with Sevin and trim the clover short around the trunk to discourage anything going on at the roots There were definitely some caterpillars in there. I hit it with Sevin, hopefully that will do the trick.

Any idea what this could be caused from? Tent caterpillars? This is one of my first year trees and the only one currently effected. I'm trying to figure out what is causing it and how to treat it.

Thanks for the help. I ended up clearing my SD Card, there were a few hundred pics on it, ran a reset, and changed the rate to 1 hour and received a Success when I ran a cell test. It's armed and I'm letting it work. Is there anything I need to do when hooking a solar panel to the G-5109? I...

So I got the Cuddelink Cell Home up and running. It's activated and connected to all cameras on the channel. The system worked for the first day sending 42 pics overnight. The next day I stopped receiving any pics, updates, reports, etc from the Cell Home. When I checked it, it was flashing...
