Minneapolis police standing down? If they don't mutiny, they're no better than Walz.

The democrats have one great, big card in their hand - half the population is already living on the nipple.

I can't wait until there's an investigation of the shenanigans going on in the city of Dearborn in my state of Michigan. I'd place a heavy bet on the same sort of frauds being committed with a wink and a nod from our corrupt governor and legislature. Local government there solidly anti-American.

The real hazard may involve attempting to fell a problem tree; trees with rotted trunks, big multi-stemmed trees, trees with extreme leans prone to barber-chairing, or whatever, when girdling is a safer option. This is also an aspect of large property/small property management. Some...

Several years ago, I planted milo mixed with soybeans, adjacent to a plot of straight RR soybeans. Thirty days later, I sprayed the RR beans, without touching the soybean/milo mix. We had a hot, dry summer that year, and my straight RR beans didn't do well. But the soys planted along with...

Another reason to have some milo in your portfolio, for those guys in more northern climes - when you get a bunch of snow, and your clover and cereal grains are buried and harder for the deer to access, those milo seed heads can shine.

Learned while shopping - no weight bracket available with the Stealth Pro series.

Yep, had the exact same on a rear-rack spreader I used long ago.

Those are both substantially beefier than the pull-behinds I tore up. Would probably hold up reasonably well.

I've grown milo a few times, and am overdue to plant some this year. Mostly red. Usually the deer ignore it most of the autumn, then I'll go out and check on it one day in December and every seed head is gone.

If you're looking at ATV spreaders, I've had my best success with front rack mounted spreaders. On the front, it's easier to keep an eye on what's going on. Makes for a handy little ATV gear bucket when you're not using it as a spreader. Tow behind spreaders are great if your ground isn't...

Pretty sure. If it did, it bested the turnips, radishes, YBSC, vetch, and other fall-2024 seed planted along with it which never showed up. Frostseeded Endure Chicory also grew, but wasn’t as prolific as the plantain. Freaky how we had two consecutive really poor fall growing seasons. I...

Update - Can report that forage plantain frostseeds wonderfully on my dirt. It came up nicely everywhere I cast it last March. Fall plantings have been total disasters - but then again, the last two fall growing seasons have been epically poor for everything else I planted also. Zero...

My local Great Plains dealer wanted nearly 30k, including the weight brackets and small seed box. So I shopped the Kubota dealer one county over, whom I've done good business with in the past (My RTV1120V, multiple accessories and implements), they're a LP dealer, roughly 3k less for the same...

My farm has roughly five linear miles of access trails. It took a number of years to develop the entire trail "system", and a variety of methods were employed. In open spaces, simply bush-hogging. In wooded/brushy zones, some dozer work was engaged. Over seasonally wet spots, culverts were...
