I was hoping to get away with not spraying it right away, but it sounds like spraying the WR is the way to go...

Had someone tell me last summer that I should no-till soybeans into winter rye in the spring. I planted winter rye in a plot last fall, and its growing good now this spring, but I have a couple questions for the guys that have done this.. 1) When should I plant beans? I heard that I should...

Bringing this question back up because I've started thinking about this again... If I get out in the spring early and hit the clover with 2,4D, there isn't going to be too much substance on the ground to prevent the soybeans from growing will there? If I can, Id prefer to kill the clover but...

I have a 1 acre plot that currently has clover in it, and then rye was broadcasted into it this fall. I want to get rid of the clover next year and plant soybeans there instead. Whats the best way to get rid of the clover and plant the soybeans? In another plot, I have rye in there and was...

Correct. Sorry I wasn't more clear. Right now, I have 3 plots - 1.5ac, 1ac, and 1.75ac. The 1ac is clover, and its more than enough, so I was thinking about cutting that plot down to .75ac, cutting the 1.75 down to 1.5, and then either adding the new 1/2 acre that I freed up to either the 1.5...

Gotcha. Reason I asked is you mentioned that you used a few marker trees so you would know where it was. I have a Phantom 3, and every picture I take is geotagged, so when you put the picture on your computer and click on "properties", it will give you the GPS coords of where the drone was...

I am limited on my available acres for food plots because they are planted into CRP. One of my plots will be a 1.5 acre soybean plot, which I will then overseed with brassicas/rye later in the year. I'm going to make 2 of my plots smaller for next season so I am freeing up 1/2 acre to add to...

Thats awesome! Which drone do you have?

I've used Shockwaves and Hornady SSTs (same bullet), and had the same issues as you. Awesome accuracy, no expansion, little blood trail. Switched to Barnes Expander T-EZs a couple years ago and havent looked back. Only shot 1 that the blood trail wasnt great, but could've hit him high (didnt...

Got a little drone footage this weekend. Sorry about having to tip the camera up once in a while - hard to tell where I was and how close I was getting to the property line without looking up on occasion.

Good to know! I actually didn't do any of this cutting - it was hired done, but I have some hinging to do next summer, so I will keep that in mind.

Had them in a plot last fall. New seeding of clover and oats. Looked decent, went and checked the plot a week later and it was almost gone. Oats eaten down to stubble. Sept 10th: Sept 16th: Sept 17th:

I'm hoping the drone pictures give a better visual (for myself as well), but I would say the very thick areas are like 8-10 trees all dropping in toward or on top of each other, so probably larger than 50x50, but not an acre or anything like that. The rest of the acres are trees laying randomly...

Once a few more leaves fall, I'll get a couple drone pictures, and that will do a much better job of showing what the timber looks like overall - rather than just little snapshots with my phone while walking through.

Thanks guys! Bill- The last two pictures that you referred to - those areas are particularly thick, and more trees were dropped into a "central" location there than others - as the first two pics show, the entire timber isn't that thick. BUT I'm curious if going back in with the chainsaw...
