Ouch, harsh. Kids of all ages these days want and actually believe the government can give them FREE stuff. They vote for that because the can’t / won’t work for it. They are that way because they were raised that way.

I read up on adding boron to my soil. If needed, the application rate is only 1-3# per acre - dry. And you apply it about 2 weeks before planting because it shouldn’t ‘touch’ the seed. Do you have it mixed into a custom fertilizer or can you just buy granular boron pellets? Edit: I see it can...

Did we really expect to win NY, NJ, or VA? Getting high on our own supply again?😂😂

Thx much for the tips! I do have a heavy stand-alone cultipacker, but there is also one on my Firminator disc/seeder which I think will be easiest in this case because the oats and alfalfa like a similar planting depth, I understand (1/2”). But I also have a solo 421 that I always use for...

Is it liver pâté’ or braunschweiger?? Maybe throw a few celery stalks and carrots on that tray? Maybe a sheet cake on the salad bar for dessert? You ever go to a fish fry that was so busy that you end up having 3 oldies at the bar while waiting? Then have a 4th with dinner because, why not...

Lifelong Wisconsin here. Southern comfort, cherry juice ( no actual cherry) with olives. Goes equally well with a Friday fish fry or a supper club steak and relish tray with pickled herring and beets. 😂😂

competition will be grasses, persistent clover, probably some thistles. But really who knows when your turn the dirt, even lightly? My hope is that the oats nurse along the alfalfa, even with some weeds, then when I mow the first time the alfalfa crowds out everything but itself. I know for...

Huh….Turks are like fat kids at a candy convention here with corn. Bears are mostly in hibernation right now but a big old boar still out, could probably put away a 50 easy! No sign of them though. I can’t imagine a turkey crop holds more than a few ounces….maybe 1/4 pound at a time?

My wife likes to watch wildlife behind our house and occasionally spreads a 50# sack of corn out there…mostly to watch the deer. Well a flock of 9 turkeys figured out what was up, and now show up within minutes of the dump and hang close all daylight hours. I happened to be out by her feeding...

Me and a Catholic friend recently wondered if Jesus would “approve” of our church today. It went both ways until the bourbon ran out :)

Marlin have you sprayed it yet? How did it go? How about starter fertilizer and and other fertilizer applications? Buck, that would have been a great call for me had I made the decision to try this sooner. I’m just happy I had lime laying around I could get on it this fall. I think I also...

Charitable giving…… Catholic Charities in the US facilitated more illegal migration in the last 4 years than we’ll ever know. They made untold millions on the grift and did real and lasting damage to our nation imo. T to T and WW Project and local stuff. That’s it for me.

I’m certainly going to look into varieties. “My” farmer said it doesn’t matter much for his use, but I’ve heard of small stem varieties and of RR alfalfa too. Any favorites you can recall?

The farmer who rents my tillable ground has an alfalfa field a few miles from my place. I’ve watched it closely now for 3 years and I’m just dumbfounded at the deer that thing attracts. Even now after many hard frosts. I must have one! 😂😂. I have a 1.25 acre spot that’s the best dirt on my...

We usually end up putting our first actual repair money into a 4 runner at about 100k miles. Ball joints. Other than that just filter / fluid changes and brakes / rotors. I wonder if Toyota will ever produce a 3/4 ton pickup?
