Real interesting thread and with all technology there are great things and bad that arises. On a side note we just had 13 people arrested who have been making drug drops at night into a state corrections facility. Amazon has nothing on these guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great tree/shrub. My fav next to Silky Dogwoods. Love hot dry poor soil. A great thing about them they are easy to self propagate. Simply place lower limb along ground and hold down with rock of such. Roots will form and new bush will sprout. You do have to cage them to prevent...

Interesting. Main comment I saw is potential ladder climb. My SIL left a lucrative engineering job to marry my daughter and went to work with another engineering company. He worked his A off , worked up the ladder , including setting up offices in Arizona and Cali for a year before them moving...

Depends where one lives. We have over 1.5 million acres of public land. No metro area is further than 30 minutes from prime hunting of anything from deer bear turkey duck. In addition the adjacent states have similar easily accessed tracts for minimal license costs. It is a constant battle with...

Spend lots and lots of time stump sitting observing how nature manages the habitat with her planting and animal management. Mimic what you see.

Tell your wife you ain't doing that chit and she can get over it. And let us know how that goes. She does own THAT important thing. Or you can hang it, then plug the chimes, which mud daublers like to do anyways. Just play dumb when she notices the clunking. Seriously, I think deer hear...

I never understand those that have constant bear issues. Mine must be trained. I typically have 5-7 making my 100 ac home with a sow that has produced 3 cubs every 2 years for 12 years. Young boars are typically the problem child. I've never had a camera destroyed, or stand , or equipment...

I have a 7 yo alfalfa/WC/chicory plot. I would suggest planting late Aug/early Sept. I planted with WR and let it self terminate the following summer. I mow as needed about to about a foot tall. Never have baled. Fert with 0-20-20 plus Boron added. Have occasionally sprayed for grasses...

Still so funny how all this is controlled. I’m in Nashville for a few days. Never was much a mask wearer except on the office for my 40 year career. But downtown packed shoulder to shoulder. Bars overcrowded as usual. Fun as usual. But... go to Stanley cup Playoff of Predators. Not allowed in...

Almost always let the grain self terminate and reseed itself. Same w the brassica summer growth, just let it go to seed and it reseeds. I do have some true rotational plots that I broadcast in to and mow the dead WW or WR down on it. In the past I have sprayed before broadcasting but haven’t...

Used to till and monoculture plots as seen first 2 pics. Now T&M mixture of clovers , grains , brassica as seen in last pic. All this self reseeding clovers , WW , brassica. Food year round. Clover at moment foot deep and WW &WR 2 ft. I haven’t thrown seed in these plots for 3 years. Sure a lot...

So I had to fly last wk to golf. Funny ,social distance all thru AP but then packed on plane like cattle. Lady beside me complained to stewardess that I wasn’t keeping mask up as I downed my bloody Mary’s. Stewardess who was from my hometown rolled her eyes and asked me to. I did. Then pulled it...

Badlands worth seeing. Devils tower in WY a must. Unimpressed with Rushmore and Crazy horse. If willing to travel, Cody WY is great and the firearms museum there is a must see . More guns and history than one can take in a day. If driving, the sand hill country of Nebraska is beautiful for...

As I said earlier, I am a fan of wind and solar as an adjunct. But let me try to do some math at which I suck . Before we buy in, we need to do our homework. First, many don't know that wind farms require a backup, obviously fossil fuel driven at this time. That wind is great when available...

All I know, on my high elevation north ridge, south facing farm, with a limestone/shale underlayment, and me owning the mineral rights. .... Im praying that they will place 50 wind turbines on the ridge, cover the 60 acres of south facing slopes with solar panels, open a deep mine for coal...
