Hi Bill, hope all is well with you. I thought you had known that, really I thought I texted you last year when I was kicking around a place up there again. Chasing 3 kids around I can’t keep anything straight, heck I’m getting ready to move again, lol. Billy’s a good fella. If ya hear of...

I’ll be likely selling a property and have a significant amount of 1031 $ to use on farms(S). I’m looking at potentially splitting up the funds in Northern MO and IL. Should I do so I’m looking at property right across the river via Quincy for the IL portion. I’m looking for real knowledge...

Sure I get what your saying. I should of phrased that differently & more specific to Pursuit. I have dealt with cleth before for grasses and understand it’s application. I’ve not used persuit. I have a gallon. How would it be used in comparison to 24Db which I have used before for...

Which should be used when for clover plots, white varieties specifically? Thank you

I’m purchasing a barely used L2501 from my father. I know 25hp is not going to do all I want for food plot and habitat purposes but this will be great for my small plots and some general work and maintenance around the farm and will be great to trailer should I end up with another parcel aways...

I’m potentially looking to expand my footprint into another state after my timber harvest at my current property. Would you rather have one larger tract to manage say 300+ acres, or several 40’s, 80’s, etc? Primary concern is hunting older age bucks. The idea would be to have these tracts...

I’m beginning to look at a select cut on 130+/- acres of timber. I have spoke with 2 local loggers directly who have toured the property. I am meeting with a forester to show him the place. He said if I hire him he will mark trees and put them out to bid to timber companies, he receives a 10%...

I’ve not been able to work on food plots for a few years and will be jumping back in this year. Where are the best places to buy now? Not looking for buck on a bag. Bulk ladino, purple tops, tillage radish, etc. Thanks and glad to be back at it.

What is the reason folks are crimping a fall cover crop come spring vs mowing then no tilling thru either? Is there more soil benefit to a decaying crop that has been crimped vs mowed?

Good thing we can do both as I couldn’t give an answer without changing it later. I have young kids starting to hunt. I love hunting. But I love doing the work and am excited about them growing up getting to do the work also and getting the feelings that go along with wildlife feeding in the...

Not sure if this has been kicked around on here or not but asides paint color what are the differences between the two? Why would you purchase one over the other?

I went by their HQ in valley park MO. They suggested with my tractor size, 55hp 3195lb lift capacity, that I get the 5 “light” version but I can’t seem to find any information on what or why it is “light” and when I asked they just kept saying it’s pretty much the same as the 5 but lighter...

Awesome, congrats!

I'm looking for a new side by side...if I go gas again I'll get a ranger but I'm considering an electric maybe even a hybrid. Any thoughts or opinions on electric or hybrid good bad or otherwise?

Right, I like having a lot of room to hunt. I have 427 acres of non WRP in No Missouri and prefer to be able to move around a lot and have more bucks to choose from... Being that I’m used to that amount of acreage I’d like to have at least that at a second place to hunt across the state line...
