    2026 Food Plot Experiment Plan

    Just for fun - soil PH rating for Lycoming County, PA for the 1 inch to 8 inch profile The ratings narrative: Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity. It is important in selecting crops and other plants, in evaluating soil amendments for fertility and stabilization, and in...

    2026 Food Plot Experiment Plan

    Everybody loves a soil test, right? Certainty in a calibrated test. In this food plot business you probably only need (want is a different thought) two or three annual tests several years apart. Or, maybe none is better if you don't gather a good and representative sample. Unamended soils...

    Imox residual

    I'm the wrong guy to ask about rates. I read the label. Study the conditions. Decide what risk I'm willing to take and what level of disbelief and shame I want to endure, LOL!? I have unwantedly killed many clover plants and have saved countless others! My Imox war story is from several...

    Imox residual

    It depends on what you want to squeeze. I used it for control of smartweed in late summer and early fall. There weren't any other options given what I had and what I wanted it to do.

    Imox residual

    The strict and literal read of any label for any of the herbicides in the family of imidazolinones would indicate the answer to your first question is no and to the second, none. But if you can live on the edges you could probably do fall planted wheat after a spring application of Imox. The...

    Broadcast, 2 rains, 2 weeks, no germination

    This weekend I am close to Columbus, OH. Normally, I am a plant-now guy. After talking to some people here and looking at data and The Drought Monitor history. I would stop planting. In the last 25 years it has never been this severely dry this time of year. The locals say it’s the worst in...

    Local Feed and Seed $$$

    I am not a very popular guy. It's one of my character defects that I always want to be on the other side of a discussion. I have been on the seller side for seed and fertilizer. Pricing is a complicated process. Without addressing the "technology" seeds, sticking here to rye and wheat...

    Problem Food Plot ... Hi Phosphorus Levels an Issue?

    I'm going to pile up a lot of stuff. Let's see how it turns out. Bottom line for me is this - those two soil types make for severe limitations when it comes to growing stuff and I think you can work yourself to death and not give it much improvement. Oh! I'm assuming we are working somewhere...

    Problem Food Plot ... Hi Phosphorus Levels an Issue?

    I too wondered about a low sulfate problem. And I am left to wonder about the natural pH of your soil TD. If you are where I think you are liming will only do you harm. Aren't assumptions great? pH of soil parent rock/source oranges are acidic yellows and whites are near 7 Blues are alkaline...

    Problem Food Plot ... Hi Phosphorus Levels an Issue?

    At first glance 34 ppm P doesn't seem so excessive, Without more info it's hard to come up with a workable answer for your poor crop growth. Some soils just aren't very productive and there's little we can do to improve them. Lots of farmers think ground is ground but the money making guys...

    Would You Shoot This Deer?

    Yes! Well no. I don't know. I guess my curiosity is bigger than my desire to shoot an "embarrassed" buck. I can kinda' relate to that. My rational (?) curious thought would be to let him ride into another year to see what he becomes. That's being hopeful, maybe a little too hopeful, that he...

    Question for the group! Over-Seeding Rye and Winter Wheat into standing beans???

    If having browsable rye by October 12th is your goal I think I would wait another week or two. That's a week for germination and nearly two or three weeks to grow. The standing beans, I assume they will still be there leafless but with pods drying, might help keep deer off the rye...maybe...
