Can you use the same herbicides on your beans as you can use on your sunflowers? If not, then the herbicide resistant traits will not work together, and you will end up terminating one of your summer crops. You could plant part of the field in sunflowers and part of the field in soybeans and...

In that case I would plant a good fall blend including buck forage oats and brassicas or whatever worked for you last season. I'm a big believer in blends, as I believe it's good for the soil, and that makes the plot more attractive to deer.

If you're planting a summer plot, nuke it and plant your summer blend. If you're only doing fall plots, wait until the brassicas bolt and mow it to see what clover and/or weeds you have growing and go from there.

Short answer is yes, you can. You can then come back later and spray herbicide over your Roundup Ready beans and Clearfield sunflowers. However, I am a little confused by your objectives. Are you growing forage beans, or are you growing ag beans? Are you growing sunflowers for forage or...

Those are indeed half-free morels. They make up the majority of what I find in Ohio, too.

The location for your bedding sounds great. Is there a reason you only want to do a few locations along the military crest rather than the whole thing?

I think hawk populations are higher than any other time in my lifetime. Last time I drove I-75 in Ohio there was a hawk every few hundred yards or so just sitting on a fence post. In Ontario last summer I was getting dive bombed by hawks in the forest. I've also seen a flock of several...

Fox squirrels like them. They will shred them one by one to get at the seeds. Never seen anything else utilize them.

I'm at least 6'2". But yeah, that ship makes anyone look and feel small.

I wish I could explain everything in English, but unfortunately I learned all the terms in Norwegian. Basically, we would loosen the ropes that trim the sails (sheets?), and lower the yards, and then run up into the rigging and out on the yards to pack up the sails. If we needed to set a...

We had safety harnesses. That's what I'm wearing in that photo with the rope.

Funny thing about that, I've been on several boats where people got sick, including this one, and it's always people below deck. I keep telling people who feel ill to go up on deck and get some air and look at the horizon. The ones who listen to that advice invariably get over their sea sickness.

I know what you mean. I've sailed on a few small fore-and-aft rigged vessels in the Caribbean, and it's dead boring after an hour or so if nothing is happening. Mercifully for us, we had conch ceviche and/or rum punch to make and consume, so two or three hours went by in a flash. On Statsraad...

The shellfish can have neurotoxins from certain types of algae. The mushroom issues are mostly just idiots picking the wrong types and dying. We have death cap, destroying angel, and deadly webcap, for example. Newbies and Asians tend to get into trouble by misidentifying mushrooms or...

Finally, after all the sails were in, we got to go up higher in the rigging. I was allowed to go out on the yardarm of the fore royal yard, which is about 130 feet above the deck. The view was incredible, but unfortunately we weren't allowed to bring a phone with us.
