Foggy's Deertopia Proving Grounds - Happenings

[Brian662]

I wouldn't touch it anymore this year.

See how it responds next spring (it's going to be good) and spray 2,4D or duracor as necessary depending on broad leaf competition.

So....I may finally have some switch grass growing? at least this stuff is all in rows and its grass....and growing like crazy. Does not have the little "hairs" when I pull the leaves from the stem as some say it must. Leaves look too wide....and I do not see little hairs...but it is all in a row. Go figure. Damned if I know.

Nice!! Just as many of the wise minds here said (not I), it came through for you Foggy! I’m glad to see it. Worry about the weeds another time, go celebrate the fact your efforts paid off.

I believe it’s attributed to Winston Churchill, but the phrase “perfection is the enemy of progress” comes to mind. You’re heading in the right direction pal! Don’t sweat the small stuff.

So today I had a bit of time while my wife had her hair "done" in Pequot Lakes. So I raced to my land to apply 3 bags of Urea to my brassica. Not much time...so I put my Herd Spin spreader on my loader bucket....and ran my electric and corded conrtrols. All in all worked pretty good with extra urea carried in the loader bucket. I did have one spill....and that was due to uneven ground and freaking gopher mounds.

Gonna do a photo dump of my land.....really looking good right now....with so much food available.

Switchgrass is going gonzo now……and out of the blue……I got LOTS of big bluestem growing here too. Very mysterious. A good thing!, It’s just strange where it came from and came on strong in various locations on my property. Yowsa!

Got decent rainfall the very night after putting down the Urea. Golden. It does not always go this smooth. Living large now.

Our big Bluestem has had the best yr ever! It's everywhere and it's thick.

How is it at continuing to reseed or titler? I really like this stuff. Ive seen a little in the past...but nothing like I have this year. Fanstastic cover and bedding areas....really dense in some areas. Hope it comes back next year.

Comes back good here, but it's a native so no big surprise. It's taller than the truck right now.
