Was the US revolution under the purview of fanatics? It’s perspective, and I personally believe there are more people in Iran who want freedom than not. What they don’t have is a way to make it happen by force…..and force is the only thing the bearded goat-humpers understand.

Homerj, when you buy gypsum, does it actually say the word Gypsum on the package? Mine does not. I just the chemical decsription : 0-0-0-21CA-17S Calcium Sulfate Fertilizer.

I still believe that pallets of AK’s and ammo air dropped in civilian areas is the answer. The 2A shall set you free…..and let us know when it’s over.

Not to get off the ME, but I haven’t been able to get a radio news report out of my head. I live in WI where I’ve always assumed we at least had a fair / decent education system. But yesterday I heard that 50% of all adults in this state have a 5th grade reading level. Can that possibly be...

I didn’t think to check there actually, but 3 other local-ish places didn’t have it in bulk bags now. They said they get it in the spring and sell out over the summer. I could have waited on buying it, but the warm weather up here lately has me jumping the gun. As usual😂.

It was harder to find 50# bags of gypsum (pelletized) than I thought it would be. But I did and they were 18 each. I bought 4 for my alfalfa plot today.

My 4 series cab comes in at 6000 with the loader, plus 1200# of beet juice and a 1300# BB puts me at 8300# give or take. It’s perfect for me and it’ll still be sitting in my shed, running / looking great, with a perfect maintenance record when the grim reaper makes his visit. Buy it if you get...

Saving that. Thx! Can an argument be made that, all else equal, 6.5 is preferable to 7.0 for our applications? Oversimplification?

I asked that and he said that he hasn’t soil tested my farm in many years. But has always spread lime on it about every 4-6 years. EDIT : I lied….i just looked back at my first soil tests when I bought the place. They were 6.4- 6.5….not 6.7-6.8 that I got 2 years ago.

I’m in zone 4 (-25 to -35)…Lake Superior snow belt in WI. My field is about 1.25 acres and it’s a secluded corner of a 25 acre field, that’s farmed for clover/brome grass hay. The plan is 100% alfalfa, except that I’ll probably put an 8’ wide brassica strip around the circumference for...

Great stuff!! Thanks again sir!! On my last soil test my organic matter was at 5.5%…..

Thank you! When I Google sulphur sulfate, all the hits come up as ‘elemental sulphur’ and recommend a much lower application rate. I also see potassium sulfate called out at that low 20# / acre rate. (That’s what I put on blueberries to DECREASE PH). It’s a little confusing until you said...

I think most Americans thought Trump was mostly using that “Mexico pays for it” line to poke the D’s and Mexico. Art of the deal. I further think that most R’s are more than happy to chip in a few bucks to knock out that wall construction .

Hey SD…..can you tell us more about Sulphur Sulfate for alfalfa? I see an application rate between 15 and 25# per acre, depending on soil type, is typical. It can be applied at the time of planting (unlike boron). There appears to be numerous sources and all are relatively fast-acting...

After bombing we should drop a pallet of ak’s and a pallet of ammo on every residential block and tell the people to handle their shit. Let us know when it’s over and they want to sell us some oil….after filling our National petroleum reserves to capacity for free.
