One last thing. Always remove the plates when you store the meters for the off season. Leaving them on deforms the brushes and leads to all kinds of singulation issues. Ask me how I know... 😂 😂 😂

I'll have to find the clipping, but I met Milo at an outdoor show in Kansas City in the 90's. What a fantastic human being. He took the time to have a real conversation with me. That whole thing couldn't have happened to a better person.

You won't need new brushes, but definitely buy the milo brush retainers. They are taller than the soybean ones and stiffen the brushes so the smaller seed moves properly. They are relatively cheap and super easy to install. I plan to eventually get 4 more meters so I won't have to swap when I...

I did preplant with Enlist Duo since it was the border of a soybean planting. The beans were planted right away and the milo was about 3 weeks later I think around June 1st. I did a mid to late summer spraying of 2,4-d. I don't remember the exact date, but the milo was a little taller. I heard...

I used commercial Milo this year and had good success with it. I was using my JD 7000 planter on 30" rows and planted a population of 40,000. I fertilized with 100lbs/acre of urea when I planted and top dressed with another 100lbs/acre when seed heads started to develop. Stand was great! The...

Well, if I were you I would certainly be excited for next fall. Man, what a buck! The big question becomes how to get eyes on him. Good stuff!

Didn’t get skunked you say as you casually hold a GIANT shed… 😂😂😂

That’s what I had pictured. My wife is an engineer with KDOT. She thinks that’s a weird design. 😂 She did say it’s probably for one of those 500 year flood events and must have the potential for a really big flow. If that wall got silted in she said they would probably never notice. Water would...

I think a log or something to help small game would help with that. Deer would be a stretch. Judging by the two semis in your pic, I’d guess State road. I’d bet it would be a hassle to keep anything there that would help the deer that the DOT would be okay with.

Can you elaborate on the "roth style?" That is the part I am not tracking. You will put in (as would I) post-tax contributions, but the account will be treated like a traditional IRA and pay taxes at conversion later? I know I am not tracking and that is my hang up for now. 😂

John, with the drops in prices I just picked up a new unit along with a couple sun and shade panels. I was EXTREMELY happy to see they included the metal wrapped power cord in the new panels. Such a simple, but meaningful upgrade. That was the right choice!

Thanks!

Frostbite on your cock sounds terrible... ☹️

What foam did you end up going with? I plan to add it to several (hopefully all eventually) cameras as I get to them this spring for maintenance. What worked best for you?

John or anyone else, are there any tips for storing cameras in the offseason? I am going to pull some and store them away until next fall. I plan to pull some of my older units and check them for wear and tear and give everything a good cleaning as part of the process. I will remove batteries...
