    Does anyone have experience with a solar well?

    We used to be on their website for our Milpa planting. We donated the veggies to a food shelter.

    Finding a niche like that is really neat.

    Unique side hustles?

    I am curious if anyone has come across any farmers with a unique side hustle? I see a lot of the same with road side selling of eggs, flowers, veggies, farmers markets.....some farmers become dealers for smaller brand implements and seeds. Anything unusual or interesting that you saw as a good idea?

    What does everyone have for rotary cutter/mowers (Bush Hog)?

    I have a woods bb60.30 on my kubota l2501. I’m probably a bit underpowered for it but I like it none the less.

    Free choice baking soda for wildlife?

    We have nigerian dwarf goats at the farm. Part of keeping them healthy is having free choice baking soda out for them (along with minerals). They don't go through a lot. These are caged animals though. Assuming your deer are not high fenced, I'm not sure on the need as I'd assume they get...

    SPYPOINT Force-24 Non-Cellular Trail Camera (FORCE-24)

    G-flex cell 2 pack with sd cards is $129 on their site now. Without the cards same price on Amazon. I pay the $99 membership fee to get 250 pictures per month per camera free. I still think it has to be the best cell setup for trail cameras there is. Quality of pictures and camera shutter time...

    Trail Maintenance - Mower Advice

    My progression by pictures. I used the swisher when I only had an atv. Never a belt problem. Occasionally shears the arm bolt if you drive too fast and don’t check them. Grade 8 bolts seems to have fixed it. Tractor mower I will keep. One less engine to deal with and my tractor is small enough...

    Excavator

    Last summer I had a Takeuchi TB370 for a month. Cleared out maybe an acre of trees next to a field. Some of the trees were pretty big. I'd say you can't go too big because then you can't maneuver around the trees to rip roots on both sides before pushing the tree over. On the other hand, you do...

    Excavator

    Your farm policy most likely has to cover insurance. I had to get an extra rider for it but still only like $500. I have these two rented right now for the month. All in probably around $7000 for the month. Probably $150,000 total new. I'm 90% sure renting makes sense for me. I'm 100% sure I'd...

    buckwheat / rye timing

    Would buckwheat be a good early season plot? Northern Indiana. Talking September/October.

    Tree puller recommendation

    I have a Takeuchi TL8 rented and I decided to go ahead and buy the Danuser Intimidator tree puller attachment. I have a tractor it might work on but most likely I will end up buying a track loader in the near future. For anyone needing to clear out an overgrown area with crappy 1" - 4" trees...

    Springfield Armory Hellcat

    I have a hellcat and like it. I don’t carry daily though so I am not a good judge of that.

    Raccoon trapping

    I keep my mini marshmallows in the freezer. Keeps me from getting sticky if it is hot out.
