The prok and meader persimmon from Stark Bros started production fruit at 5 years and set heavy since then. I planted them in 2017, I think.

John, Will the panel prices be coming down too? Cheapest I've seen them is 55 for the small one and 90 for the big one?

Prayers sent, she is a beautiful girl with a wonderful smile!

but it does produce tons more erosion. That cost is enormous and probably incalculable, at least in my small mind.

I shred a certain section of my miscanthus down yearly and then plow it up and use it for a rhizome source. It looks just like the rest of the miscanthus that same year that didn't get plowed up. I believe the life expectancy is way more than twenty years.

Looking good TC, I agree that the stagnant water sources are the go to's for deer. I have no idea why but it seems the pooled water sources are used heavily. I prefer to dig mine in so runoff can fill them if I am blessed with rain. I also like the idea that the tanks will be better insulated...

The recommended rate per acre is basically 2 quarts per acre. 1 pint sprayed twice to get to one quart per acre was a weak mix in my opinion. If it was cold temp it may still be working but will take a while to see full results.

I had one just like that several years ago. He just disappeared in early fall and then showed back up in January on a corn pile survey, He looked horrible. Was missing the same portion of leg on same leg and really scarred up. My guess he got hit by a vehicle. He survived and actually thrived...

'12-'17 is what I was told on Tuesday this week by my FSA

My dad and I planted 1650 tree and shrubs in a day, starting within an hour of sunrise and ending at just after sunset, using a tree planter behind my tractor. He drove, I planted.

When I did my cp33 project, the plan allowed for an alalfa/clover plot around the 3 acres so I would be able to burn the NWSG and pollinator when it management time, perhaps this might work for you.

I did something similar to this about 3 years ago. It was through a general crp sigh up practice. I'll see if I can find out what the practice is and get back to this thread. It was cp33 that williams111 already pointed out. I am late to the party, like normal.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. I greatly appreciate it. I planted a bunch of plum, red osier dogwood, choke cherry, and hazelnut in a 3 acre tree/shrub planting 2.75 years ago on a farm about 5 miles from this farm. They are surviving but not thriving yet. The soil is good but semi...

Thanks 11 and Seeds, Dogwoods are a definite possibility. I have loads of grey dogwoods on the property. I wondered about silky. I experimented with red osier and it would qualify as candy as they ate it to death, I have a relatively high deer density The strawberry bush intrigues me. I will...

I'm renewing my continuous crp and with the practice I'm doing, I will get to plant 4 rows of shrubs. I think elderberry and wild plum are bombproof but does anyone have a shrub that they would tout as deer candy in a shrub? (This is in southeast NE) Thanks for pondering and especially if you...
