    250+ Million Acres of Public Land Could Be Sold Under New Budget Bill

    Well I guess it was short lived. Senator Lee is re-writing the proposal for resubmission. Maybe the terms are acceptable, maybe not. Worth keeping an eye on moving forward. https://www.backcountryhunters.org/flood_the_lines_day_june_25_2025

    Thinking I’m going to broadcast buckwheat and roll. Let that go for 30-45 days then spray, seed clover chicory rye mix at more traditional Aug timeframe. I’m a little worried of clover burning up this summer

    The Throw n’ Mow Method

    May grab some buckwheat and throw/roll it this week then throw my rye brassica clover chicory in the fall. Seems likely to be best option for long term success

    The Throw n’ Mow Method

    Any recommendations? I plan to throw cereal rye at 2bu per acre, I just forgot to include that by accident. I'm afraid my land is too dang wet in the spring and too dang dry in late summer early/fall. That being said, I know late june through mid july is a very unconventional planting time. I...

    The Throw n’ Mow Method

    Well, that's still undecided. I may let it sprout up and whack it again then plant in Aug. This was initially supposed to be a spring project but life intervened and I didn't get around to it. I had a field full of vegetation I needed to address and the weather was cooperative this weekend so...

    Yes, my apologies I forgot to include that. I was going to throw 6bu of Rye with the above

    The Throw n’ Mow Method

    Hit 3 acres with 4oz/gallon gly this weekend. Mostly a mix of warm season grasses, sedge, milkweed and ragweed. Planning a throw/mow (or throw/roll depending on how wet the field is) application after I get a kill. I was wondering if you'd recommend 1 spray and let the thatch suppress weeds or...

    Yes, at least I won't have the concern of being stingy on clover seed as an excuse if it doesn't work out. Also, I got a little carried away on Welters Seed catalog.

    Got out this weekend and got the first spray of gly on the food plot expansion. Once I get a good kill I’ll either throw and mow, or wait a few weeks spray again then throw mow. I’ll decide after I see how effective this spray is. We’ll see how the weather wants to cooperate as well. 6bu of rye...

    Keep the posts rolling!! Sorry to hear about the neighbors. I have a bit of a similar situation here too, kind of frustrating but I suppose you can only control what's in your court, such is life. That deer is a beauty, hope he sticks around. It is incredible how fast they grow, about 20 days...

    Cafeteria plot experiment

    I have a plot that is in similar scenario & just started expanding a bigger field into a food plot as well. The established plot I plan to leave the rye, let it go to seed, and let nature run its course on it. I think the cover/shade on the existing clover is going to be a big help especially...

    Looking good! If I know anything about NEPA be patient and the weather will turn around. 🤣

    250+ Million Acres of Public Land Could Be Sold Under New Budget Bill

    This exactly my concern. I’m not opposed to utilizing a select dedicated portion of land for extracting natural resources responsibly. But the way the bill was written, there’s a loophole that makes up to 250million acres eligible. Of course the bill doesn’t state they’re going to sell 250mil...

    250+ Million Acres of Public Land Could Be Sold Under New Budget Bill

    I’ll take the current arrangement of the American West and public land access over the EU oligarchy style of land ownership and management all day everyday. I think our public land access is uniquely American, and to open the opportunity to disassemble that as uniquely un-American. (Not...
