The open field doctrine stems from the constitutional principal that "open fields" don't offer the same expectation of privacy of one's home, which most would agree with. Many cases are made by Conservation Officers patrolling private grounds. Baiting cases, following up on tips, etc. The...

Be careful what you wish for....

Kraut is simple. The way I was taught years ago, shred the cabbage, I use a kitchen aid with a grating attachment. We would put an inch or two in the bottom of the crock, add salt, and tamp it with a wooden baseball bad to "bruise" it. Add about 2 teaspoons of salt to each pound of cabbage...

I ran a 2WD Allis 160 for several years for plots. That old iron is heavy and aids in traction. I would make sure you fill your tires with beet juice or fluid for added weight / traction. A loader takes a lot of weight off the rear wheels when you pick up a load, which hurts a 2wd some. I...

I'm worried about NEMO. Working ground in February is never good. Not much in the way of rain.

I use bolt cutters or angle grinder.

I destroy enough stuff using it correctly. I just buy bar oil. My dad used to use used motor oil, but you could tell it wasn't working as designed.

Just curious, what are you planting from the small box that requires that type of spacing?

I don't know what LaPratt's corn is, but doubt it's anything special. I wouldn't plant any corn that isn't herbicide resistant. Nowadays, in most areas RR isn't good enough. If nobody is planting anything in the area, there are probably a lot cheaper crops that will draw just the same. Good...

The small seed box openings are much smaller. Duct tape is your friend!

I just retired last week, so no expert here. I'm in Florida fishing and remodeling a house for the winter. I don't need to get that much stuff done, if I don't want. I'm usually up by 0700. Finished drywall all day. I'm the kind that once I start a project, I have a hard time leaving it...

Yea. FL beats Indiana there, too. The only real benefit for me staying an IN resident is the homestead on my house there. I also have a lifetime hunting license in Indiana, so even if I become a FL resident I still have life long hunting privilege in Indiana.

I'm in Okeechobee. Graduated college in 1991 from Purdue. My parents died when I was 20, and I had a hard time taking college seriously. I got out and became a cop. I also started a business. I worked my lawn / landscape business all day, then worked 2nd shift at the PD. Made enough money...
