Definitely. Wasn't apples to apples. This is a test from the year prior - would compare to the SW plot rather than the NE one that has more weed issues. But, shows higher pH PRIOR to me putting over a ton/ac of ag lime on it. CEC was 16 vs 19. Results are from Ward labs. Odd that I'd have a 6.1...

Oof. ph was worse than I thought. This was from '23, a year after the lime application. NE ALL is the plot with the bigger weed competition issues. Funny you mentioned Ca because its way lower than the other plot in that regard. I'll have to pull samples again soon but I haven't done much since...

It was tested last year, needs lime. 5.6 or 5.7 ph if I recall correctly. Which was the same or lower than prior tests that were taken before I spread over a ton/acre of dolomitic. I think some of that might be because i tested a little deeper sample last year than the prior one. Lime was...

Dump more calcitic lime on it? I might do that.. When i have time. Ph is low so it needs it anyway.

One my plots has gotten so weedy that the clover doesn’t seem to hardly show up anymore to fight with the fleabane, oxeye daisy, goldenrod, and birdsfoot trefoil. So I did the anti SD thing and nuked it with gly/2,4d and drilled in some enlist beans to have something living while the nukings...

Planted a sorghum screen and beans this week with the 3p600. I disked prior to the sorghum planting and didn’t get the surface too smooth and planting performance was meh. First field I planted beans left me considering a true no till drill as getting seeds buried was less than great. Second...

If 3 out of every 4 rows are plugged to get 30” spacing, I’d expect the rates to be roughly 1/4 of what the chart says.

Have you checked them again recently? I’ve got some that have 8” of new growth already and a bunch that are just starting to break buds.

We’ve had a pretty good dry stretch.

I love dogs but don’t love the hassle that comes with them. About the last thing I’d want a dog for is company on a deer parcel.

Mine aren’t far enough along to confirm survival status as none of the buds are breaking. I’m worried about a few because some asshole bears had to go around knocking over tree tubes.

Shorter buck archery season but keep doe full duration?

I'm with @Brian662 and @Howboutthemdawgs, that's some wall! I'm sure i've played euchre a number of times, but i must have been too intoxicated to retain how..

Early yet. Deer sure seem eager to nibble the tiny rye sprouts trying to wake up in my plots right now in central mn! “Doe factory” is building after a couple straight mild winters.
