I'm not close at all but I don't plan to hunt until closer to Halloween other than sitting in a blind with my son for his first gun hunt ever during the youth season.

As others have said farm credit is the way to go. They have appraisers that look at this stuff every day and can also offer financing if needed.

Back when I did a lot of food plotting I always planted my brassicas by themselves and fall clover with either oats, wheat or rye or a mix of any of the three. Also I planted my brassicas earlier than now to maximize my tonnage per acre. Good luck whatever you decide!

My father in law was a pretty big guy and I personally watched him jump into his dump truck and chase a couple atvs up a hill and across a field. It was rather impressive to see and word did get out not to F around up on the hill.

I let them cross two of my farms officially and one on an un marked trail. The club is always wanting to make sure we are happy about the outcome of the snowmobile season and make sure any trash is picked up. They know all it takes is one pissed off land owner to shut down some main trails.

I have a truck that I haul bins of produce on as it's harvested. It needs an inspection this month and has a couple of questionable tires on it. I ran into the guy that does the inspection on it and made mention of that and he said we better hope it's good enough for now because it's about a 6 week wait for tires!

There's nothing like being your own boss. I could never go back to working for " the man" after being my own boss ( other than my father looking over my shoulder).

My father had a similar illness earlier this year. I figured he had covid for sure. He was tested twice and went to urgent care once and the er once. He didn't leave the house for a week at one point other than to got the er and urgent care. After about 2 weeks he started feeling better.

Looking good. I'm working on a similar project and am watching your's for idea's. Here is my son practicing with a hammer in my spot.

Dandy buck!

I had a mutt that needed an acl repair years ago when he was about 6 I think. They gave me 3 options for the repair and I went with the cheap one that basically was using heavy monofilament line and it worked great and lasted until the dang dog died at a ripe old age. I hope yours works out as well or better.

Don't add nitrogen to garlic now. It's way too late. If anything some 0-20-20 or something else without any nitrogen.

My wife's uncle died from covid about 2 weeks ago. Didn't get the vaccine and neither did his kids or wife. His wife picked up the covid first somewhere. She had very little symptoms. My wife's uncle and cousin then got it from her. Her uncle got quite sick and delayed going to the hospital. Eventually he had to. They treated him for about a week and discharged him. Two days later he died sitting in his chair at home. He was in his 50's and had no underlying conditions other than delaying his initial treatment for covid. It's been quite the bummer for my wife and her family.

Here is my youngest son with a catfish we caught yesterday in my pond we caught a bunch of perch and crappie also. The catfish was one of two I stocked in the spring of 19.

If you want any decent peaches you should thin a bunch of those off. You want about 6 inches in between each peach. What's left will be good sized when ripe.

I would usually agree, but I have a unique situation where I am at now where there is such an abundance of food to eat for the critters that I can get away with it here. A few years ago I planted about an acre of soybeans and they weren't all gone by spring. The deer here won't touch any sort of brassica or radish. And its not for a lack of deer, just so much for them to eat.

Today I got in my second of two broadcast corn plots. I'm hoping these will be a good spot for the bucks to hang near come the holiday season this year. I have a field I lease out that is 14 acres that the guy that leases it put corn in also and it will probably be there until Christmas time or later as I'm the last place he will combine and the last corn he planted this year. Also I have a neighbor that has beans in this year and another with corn which I hope is gone before gun season this year. So anyway the deer in my neighborhood will be well fed. Here is a before and after shot. There is durana clover in the background I planted last fall with whitetail institute oats.

One thing to be careful of when broadcasting a corn plot is to not use too much seed. I have done a plot like this many times and I have over seeded more than I would like to admit. It makes for some pretty tiny ears.

We do have trouble with coons and birds on the first plantings. Bodacious is a good one. I grow maybe 5 acres total of sweet corn but my friend grows over 20 . He always turns me on to the best varieties to plant. We are growing Kickstart this year. He liked it a lot last year.

Too hot and dry last year.

I just bought some cardano. Only crypto I've gotten into. How does this stuff work ??? How many years til I'm a crypto millionaire? Isn't that how the kids do it now!

As others have said, Cory with future forest consulting is good. I've had him on a couple of jobs on properties I used to own and I was happy with him.

I got a couple of brutes on my camera this morning. They have both been around my place on and off for a couple of years at least.
