    food plot and standing corn

    So thinking out of the box here a moment ..I would determine the deer's primary bedding spot(s) and place your food plots between the bedding and the soon if not picked corn ...I would also require the farmer to plant wheat over the picked corn field as soon as he has picked the corn Bear

    Grain Drill Storage Ideas

    As I started this spring's drilling season with my Great Plains 3P606NT (first over winter for me and this machine) I had a mouse nest in one drop in the Large box that took a bit to clear out ... The seed tubes, drop hoses and drop fingers had been cleaned out and the inside of the hopper...

    GP/LP 3P600 or 3P606NT user thread

    Perennial Plot Questions

    All good ideas above but thinking outside the box just a bit ...clovers as a rule have a pretty good track record for about 3 years on the same ground but then rotating something else for the clover for a year or two seems to revitalize the soil making it ready for another 3 solid years of...
