What are they eating?......

Well since I have been weed whacking around the place I can tell you...lots of oak and bass wood leaf, bunches of Virginia creeper ,the clovers, the dogwood brush  weeds woodland clumping grasses wild raspberry and apple leafs......They have had the boys barking at night as they browse their way up the edge of the woods along the now fallow corn field ...I'm not sure they are planting it or even leasing it this year...They did buy another farm with a partner a town over...perhaps they tired of traveling up this hill...though this was their best field in the drought last year. I haven't even noticed them it their original lease they have had for years...hhmmm this could drastically change the deer movement this year. What that corn has left is a bit of grass...Chinese garlic, daisies, and wild mustard....probably thistle as well. I DR'd the space between the plowing and the woods...they normally spray but with out it, the weeds started setting seed...I refuse to have wild garlic all over my woods...zipped it down as best I could.

My dentist office called to offer me an appt. today not tomorrow...Sorry can',t first good weather and I have to work it...She said you and all of our farming clientele...I said I wish I could get in earlier tomorrow.. She was quick on, Hows 8:40 instead of 12:20?...Great!... She said I remember when you booked that page was full last month...but the weather change that too.. So lunch is done time to spray and finally plant the garden...it's been in the low forties at night here...Great sleeping weather terrible nightshade and bean weather...

LOL all it took was me spending 40mins. weed whacking the edge of that field for them to show up with a plow disc combo...with the amount of weeds they let seed...I'm thinking it will be corn again this year...watched a big big(body/bases ) stroll diagonally across the field not 15 mins after I made the first post...headed for our woods...Oh well just means they will be cutting later...which can work to my advantage...

Wow I wish I had what they are using ..brought up the big guns, to get these big weeds and the really big tractor with the 8 monster tires...dang things all engine and tires...it's the plow,disc,  rotavator(?) combo. You can't tell there was ever any plants in that field,he's zipping right through it. I"m really hoping there were no turkey nests out there...the other neighbor just cut his high grass trails a couple of days ago...we may have a rough poult season...hope no fawns either he must be doing 25-30 mph half the field done in 20 mins...use to take me hours to brush hog on our JD.
