    Old Trees At The Farm

    If they weren't 20' up I'd try and measure! I'll see if I can get a closer pic today.

    Pine Hill Farm

    Decided to do some recon a couple nights ago. I've been consistently getting pictures of 5-6 bucks every evening and morning. I figured they had to be bedding close by. To my surprise, I found them all bedding on the back end of the property, laying in the the old corn field conversion that's...

    Let’s try this one next. Ponderosa Pine? If so, you don’t see many of those in Illinois. Would’ve been a cool story to find how they even got a hold of it for a planting way back.

    Old Trees At The Farm

    Pine Hill Farm

    Weekend scouting. One plot filled in well! Switchgrass is really coming on strong with the heat. Another good looking prospect. And "Tiny" still hanging out every night. Sorry for all the posts, I unfortunately can't share much with neighbors because they've kind of made it clear they aren't...

    John Deere 3020 Load Shaft Seal

    Nice work T! These old tractors can be your best friend and worst enemy within minutes! Mine's down too. Pretty sure I fried the new starter as soon as I hooked it back up...

    250+ Million Acres of Public Land Could Be Sold Under New Budget Bill

    Darn it man! That's everything Teddy Roosevelt fought to preserve. I guess we've been took, (again).

    Pine Hill Farm

    Went from no rain for over a month to this in less than a day. Doesn't seem to bother the deer. Hoping the beans I broadcasted didn't all float away.

    She’ll get it when you guys start spending time out there, raising your family. Nothing more rewarding than watching them enjoy it!
