Get well soon T.

Never saw any turkeys on our farm growing up. Then it seemed like overnight we had a steady population pushing 30-40 year round. Never hunted them, just enjoyed watching. Now on our new family farm, I see sometimes upwards of 50 on adjacent properties on a very regular basis. Hoping with the...

Dug up and transplanted 18 red cedars into the new (old field) conversion. Found them growing in random spots around the farm and flagged them this winter. Good warm day and the ground was so nice for digging. Started at 5 and was back in by 6:30!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that! I didn't know if it would be effective to spray much before I planted since it will be in the next 4-5 weeks.

Nice Job Brian!

I sure hope so. I'm not sure I'm going to have time to weed mat everything, so may end up just spraying and mowing between a couple times a year.

Never thunked of that!

I bet it does! I'm fortunate in the fact that there's plenty of open ground. Also unfortunate in that equals zero wildlife holding cover. I'll try and do a play by play on the planting on the land tour page when I get the trees here.

I'm planting Norway Spruce. Have 200 coming from the county first week of April. Creating borders on this field that will be converted to switch and bedding. Just trying to get ahead of the curve. I have a big spring ahead. And yes I built a watering rig for the back of my SXS. I'll push the...

I tried getting a start on holes today. Got 13 holes in and the further up I got on the hill, the closer the frost was to the surface. Really strange. Finally got so hard I had to stop. By the way, when you get tired using an earth auger, don't try to flip it and use the throttle with your left...

@Brian662 That's rough! I absolutely despise snow.

Probably Team Fitzgerald

Dude, don't ruin it for me!

I'm gonna check again but I know the south facing slopes are pretty good.

I've been flagging a bunch of small volunteer cedars in random spots around the property this winter. We've gotten some good rain last couple days, seems like a good time to pop them out and maybe throw them in buckets for a couple days. If all the frost is out of the ground, do you guys think...
