The Land of Milk and Honey

I also tried to top dress my corn today. I planted it way thicker than I wanted. The recommendation was to apply more N to help it out. Well, life got in the way when I should have done it, so it got a little tall. Like real tall. I’m 6’3” and most of it was taller than me. Some was a foot taller. My chest spreader wasn’t doing it. I tossed some by hand. I did 3.5 bags of the 10 I was supposed to do and almost had a heart attack stroke. Plan B is to use the new blower spreader I got, but the hopper is tiny. Has to be better than what I tried though. That’s a problem for another day.

Drone spreader!

3.5 acres. It’s gonna be a draw probably late November and later. More of a rifle spot for dad, but I want to knock it down strategically to move deer where I want earlier. I am surrounded by beans this year and that’s where they are gonna want to go. I have a redneck blind between my corn and the beans that should be good.

Edit: I do plan to overseed the corn with brassicas and rye that may provide an earlier draw. We’ll see how it grows.

You're going to have a problem with brassicas (and probably rye) if you applied accuron, FYI.

Nice gauge of weather when you refer to the "number of sweat soaked shirts" in a day. I hate hot and humid weather! This time of year I remember why I own seemingly way more t-shirts than could ever be worn. Most days are a 3 shirt days for me.

If they don't hit the rope,which some of my locations they didn't.Just cut down a 6 inch diameter oak from the road ditch and wire to a T post.What I have had the best luck with is tying a pine tree branch to another tree limb over a mock scrape

 

[buckdeer1]

Can you log it out and get something made?We made to walnut chest out of a big walnut that had to come down for electric line

 

[buckdeer1]

It's looking good,If I was closer I would come and help.After you get boards cut if you want to dry it will probably take around 2 years unless you can find a kiln

 

[Turkey Creek]

I was going to try and take a couple of hours and broadcast some seed yesterday. I didn't get it done though. We are getting rain as well this morning. Hopefully it will dry just enough that I can get to it late tomorrow. Mention of rain chances coming up in the forecast again in a few days.

Hey, Mort. How is that switch coming along?

Don Higgins blend or CIR Switch

I've been trying to develop an easy access, low impact spot the past few years. It was mostly intended for getting our does at, without having to put extra harvest pressure on the interior. Turns out bucks like the location of the plot also. Deer can filter in from an untouched piece of...

Post 44 gives an update. I want to hoof it over to it, but stand nothing to gain. The truth will come out soon enough, lol. How about yours?

 

[buckdeer1]

I found in my switch that keeping it mowed at 12 inches or so the first year was all I needed then I let it go except to burn or mow firebreak around inside by timber

 

[buckdeer1]

Building looks great,really like the foundation

 

[Telemark]

Nice find!

I thought I would be cool and go spread some cover crop seed into the standing corn before last night's rain. The hope was it will germinate and grow some so when I go knock some of the corn down it will be there already. Never again... Those leaves tore me UP! Long sleeves and gloves were great. My face and neck look like I fought a cat! Haha! Probably won't even grow anyway. Its tough walking the row with a bag spreader and its all 4' over your head. Didn't help that I had to wait until we got the kids to bed, so most of it was in the dark. Never never again...

The leaf blower seeder would shine in that kind of application.

 

[SD51555]

Me and the leaf blower seeder aren't getting along. I'm thinking I have discovered a blower tube that is too small? The seed is blowing out sideways through the gate rather than out through the end of the blower tube. My thought is that the "cup" that protrudes down into the tube is restricting too much airflow due to the small diameter of the blower tube? Not sure. Frustrated me when I tried to do my brassicas into standing buckwheat a week or so prior.

Last I heard, you're blower tube needs to be 2 3/4" or 3".

Picked this up today. The guy and his dad own a welding/fabrication shop. He said he thought it needed more weight, but otherwise worked great. For $360 I think I can do something with it. He bent the tongue when they were moving it to the auction. I should be able to straighten it. Excited to see what I can accomplish with it!

I am sure you can weld up a tray for the top of it that will hold a few cinder blocks. Those things add a lot of weight for little money and if they are just riding in a tray on top you can take them off when transporting it if you need to.

 

[buckdeer1]

Nice find,in my light soil I don't even have to fill my yard roller as dry as it is

 

[Wind Gypsy]

This is very anecdotal, but I was getting maybe 50 pictures on a good night across my camera system prior to mowing. It is hundreds now... Hundreds!

They do seem to like those mowed fields at times!

 

[buckdeer1]

Have you got any pics of your target buck?

 

[Catscratch]

Family helping family! Great!

 

[Brian662]

I've done some foliar fertilizer applications of brassicas that your 3 nozzle sprayer would be good for. Thanks for the heads up.

I like your Dad!!
