I have a Hooyman, and it's very well designed, although not perfect. The harness works great and is comfortable. It's easy to fill. I did run into two issue this spring. Somehow clover seed got stuck in the spinner and jammed it. It took a few minutes to get out. The widest open setting isn't...

Trailman and Chestnut went into my yard this year. Had a few other varieties that just weren't doing it, so they're gone, and those will be the only two.

My 2 cents. Just leave it alone. The rye and brassicas will die off after they go to seed, and to you'll be left with clover. And maybe some resprouts from anything that went to sees, but likely won't grow through thick clover.

John, are we going to see an updated version of the app at some point? I'm using it, but the interface is very dated.

Just when I thought I was out, they sucked me back in! A few persimmons came in stock last night when I happened to be at my PC. I ordered 6 more, since I missed out in the fall. They'll be here in time to plant during my spring gobbler trip, so I couldn't resist. Shipping was only $20 for the...

I have a Tactacam with solar panel and lithium battery for sale. Send me a PM if you're interested. I was happy with it, but switched to a CuddeLink system since we wanted pics from all over the property, and only had cell service in one spot.

Some of the reviews say the gauge is 14 vs the advertised 12.5. It might be why it's cheaper. I'm still in for two rolls.

I looked at the USDA soil maps, and it's a mix of these two. That seems accurate after doing some digging to plant a few apple trees. (limed/improved soil in holes) LaB—Lackawanna channery silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes Description of Lackawanna Parent material: Loamy till derived mainly from...

We can get across the creek as it is now, as long as it hasn't rained significantly within a few days. It will be easier with a bridge for the rangers, so we can tow the spreaders back and forth across, instead of having to haul across the creek in the tractor bucket and load on the other side...

The recommendation is based on the acidity value, which is measured by the Mehlich buffer pH. (See the footnote 3 in the second screenshot) https://agsci.psu.edu/aasl/soil-testing/fertility/handbooks/agronomic/tables/lime-recommendations

I didn't pay for the OM analysis. I tested a few other plots and it was practically zero. There is not much growing there. Not even any ferns. Just low brushy stuff and some kind of taller grass that grows in sporadic clumps. Most of the ground in the area is full of shale. Digging so far...

Here is the rest of the soil test info. Didn't realize it wasn't in the screen shot I shared. Getting lime over there isn't ideal. We can take bagged lime through the creek in the UTVs or Rangers. We have a 500 lb capacity Groundbuster drop spreader so it can be spread, but slowly. We could...

No, it's 10,000/lb per acre. I've soil tested a bunch with Penn State and was a little shocked when this came back. It's along a creek, so it might be a bit sandy in places, which usually wants more lime.

It'll be Ag lime, not pelletized, at 5 tons/acre.
