I always use triple 10 at planting.

This ‘various’ brassica strip was planted at 3#/acre after discing lightly, surface broadcasting, and cultipacking. I add about 7# per acre of various clovers….totaling 10# per acre of seed. Not including the chicory🤣. I hit it once with a 50# bag of triple 19 when the brassicas reach about...

Do yourself a favor and buy one of the fanatic hoodies! I liked it so much I bought a second one last fall in case they quit making them.

I know several firefighter / EMT’s and they all bought into the Covid bullshit hook line and sinker. Even now with all the evidence it was in fact bullshit for people without 3-5 serious risk factors, they still see want to see themselves as heroic.

If I had the cash or skills I’d weld up some square tube aluminum dolly’s with nice caster wheels. Until then, it’s crooked Menards 2x8’s and cheap 5” harbor freight casters. But once i figure out the size, it takes 30 minutes each and they work great on my concrete. They aren’t light by any...

Duplicate….

I’ve had the Northstar 25 gallon sprayer for about 5 years now. I only use it about twice per summer and I clean it up with dawn dish soap every time and always bring it in the basement for the winter. I hate to tempt fate like this but it’s been a great little sprayer for me and my 5 acres of...

Last week in Canada my buddy accidentally made instant pancakes and biscuits with SPARKLE blackberry flavored water. Terrible! 😂 P.S. WTF was SPARKLE water doing on a fishing trip anyway?

This summer I’m making one of my plots about 2x larger than it is now. So between removing stumps, burning brush, picking rock, and getting something growing before fall I think I’ll spend quite a bit of time there. But when I just want to hear the quiet of my woods I have a spot where I have...

My personal experience with quite a few Ontario fly-ins. If you want walleyes, go as early as possible. You’ll catch hundreds and hundreds. Most times, the biggest fish are 5-7# but bigger ones too. Late spring into summer the fishing is still great, but not all concentrated at the nearest...

Gods Lake Manitoba will be my next fly in.

I work for a global manufacturer and we make a number of products used by consumers and government. At this point, when the govt. makes a request for one of those products we simply ignore it. We focus our efforts on the consumer market. Our experiences with them in the past have cost us...

I’m late here but chalk me up as one who thinks we should pay down debt……not try to buy votes like the D’s do. But the flip side is that you have to win elections to have a seat at any table and tying our own hands behind our backs is a losing strategy.

My first piece of property (40 acres) was given to me and my brothers by my uncle. It’ll be given to my nephews when we are gone. My second piece is 275 acres that my wife and I spent 90% of our life cash savings on for a 60% DP. We then spent the next 3+ years making 4x monthly payments on a...

Right on Westwind! I did the same on Saturday at -10f with big wind. Never even put on my jacket and gloves. I’ve never had an OS tractor and I can definitely understand the open air appeal, but I live in zone 3a and the cab simply lets me get more done. Whether it’s 90f with 90%RH or -20 and...
