I like that, if I were going for a grass heavy stand. The stand is roughly 25% natives and 75% brome across entire area. While we are able to burn, and most certainly will once we get prairie in there, pre herbicide application we are leaning towards a high stocking density spring grazing for...

Looks like indiangrass, big blue, and some switch is in there currently. Obviously being choked out by the brome, but it being there in general makes me think there's prolly a half decent seedbank still there.

For sure! We're going for production on this piece of the property, not so much winter habitat or even hunting habitat at that, so we are going to try to manage for a more forb heavy area here. I'd like a clump of grass every so often though to provide nesting substrate. Maybe 15% grass...

Also, from our experience seeding prairie, spring chemical applications usually come with grassy weed problems, ie. foxtail, whereas fall applications illicit a more broadleaved response, like ragweed and others, which are easier to control via mowing until prairie retakes the area. All that...

I was under the impression that cool seasons are best sprayed after first frost, as that is the queue for them to begin translocating all energy to the root system. This video talks about what I'm saying.

On a property in NDak, due west of Bismark, about half of it is in grass (on some side slopes that the farmer can't get equipment to). It's mostly brome, but has a lot of warm seasons mixed in. We're looking to improve that land for nesting cover, as it is roughly 160 acres of the farm (it's not...

I work for partners for us fish and wildlife, so i have access to a drill. we have a tractor and all the implements necessary to do the work already. Basically what I want to do is improve fence lines and seed prairie. pm me if any of y’all are interested in anything we’re doing! thank you!

If you've got RCG, best I can tell ya is spray, burn, rinse and repeat.

We plant a mix, mainly sorghum, but with sunflowers and millet at a lower rate on 15 inch rows. We've found that 15 inch rows can be easier to walk thru, while providing more of a canopy than typical 30 inch rows. The sunflowers and millet make it a little more covered in the late summer and...

Yessir. We usually put a coat of gly and atrazine on around mid April here in central pa. A good 2 weeks before the switch wakes up.

This is late so you might have figured this out already, but switch can lay in the seed bed for years. Similar to clover. You should be fine. It just is nice to get it to germ early so it can have a chance against the weeds.

Pretty good. 3rd year of spraying cool seasons out of our 20 acres of switch. Tons of milkweed coming in per usual. Having some canada thistle that we're going to spot spray. Want to leave as much milkweed as possible. Corn food plots are in, but they germinated and sat for 2 weeks with no rain...

Not what this thread is for. If you're not interested then don't be interested.

You're welcome to buy your own parcel.

Hey y'all, its winter so I figured now is a good time to get this out here. My dad owns a property in Northern Missouri just northwest of Kirksville. 341 acres of ag and mixed timber. He's looking to sell some turkey hunts on it. There is a cabin with heat, electricity, and running water. He's...
