Thank you to Bob and Stu for the great day and great food.

We had lots of good discussions and great weather.


We discussed stand placement, screening field edges and stand approach, hardiness of miscanthus and some of Stu's fruit tree plantings. We tried to get ideas on what to do with reed canary, brassica and clover plots, and funnels for stand placement.

Not to mention low deer populations and related issues.

Nice property guys! Did you see any wildlife?

That was one of the suggestions that we made! We suggested that from the woods to the east side of property to make willow trail from one side to the other.

Sandbur had a wild-look in his eye......but I think he was still considering leg-wrestling with Brooks. ;)

Reed Canary Ground is real close to the DNR dead zone for any habitat work. If you can get the permission, Drag line a bunch of Islands or humps around in the swamp and poke a willow cutting or 2 around them. Then the deer will use the swamp for bedding in the wet years as well as the dry ones!

Get out and bale it during one of our really dry years. Place those bales in clusters that are close together and forget to pick them up. Leave them sit with a flat side up. Willow cuttings start to magically grow......

Place them in a wind row that crosses the swamp. Again flat side up like no real farmer would ever do. Forget to pick them up and just wait.
