    The hatch is happening in NW IA and replanting plots.

    Well, the plots might have a chance. I replanted all of them in our CRP twice and the the ones closest to the switchgrass 3 times. Got 2 inches of rain around Father's Day and should have received another shot today. Now I need a windows where I can spray 24D. I started spreading shelled...

    For sale prime south dakota hunting land and cabin

    $5,850/acre, included a cabin. That seems more than steep, I hope that "cabin" is a nice home. Chad, I hope this isn't yours or something you are trying to sell. I seriously assumed that rough (non-tillable) ground in SD MIGHT be a couple thousand an acre now.

    Pollinator Mix Going In

    I think we mowed 3 times the first year and once the second, but ours wasn't a pollinator mix. You know, those seeds was harvested the prior year and were likely stored in outside (non-climate controlled) storage. There will be new seeds germinating for the first few years. A fun project!

    How many of you let birds go?

    If it is pheasant season and there are some extremely late hatched "roosters", they will have a harder time surviving the coming winter than those older (bigger/stronger) birds. I will generally harvest or attempt to harvest, the first 3 roosters I can.

    If things keep happening over there, I hope you have similar issues in a few years!

    The hatch is happening in NW IA and replanting plots.

    Seed corn, maybe they smell the seed treatment, as I have seen where they dig seed out right after planting and I see where they dig the plant up, eat the seed and leave the plant laying there. The only thing I am certain of, is that a record number of roosters will be harvested from this farm...

    Reach-out this fall, I am not far from Sioux City, it might be a further drive than you want for a limit of roosters.

    The hatch is happening in NW IA and replanting plots.

    I have about 6 acres on that farm, I only did the 3rd replant on about 3 acres. I had an old boy in the nursing home tell me that back in the 30s, the county gave the farms shotgun shells to shoot the pheasants as they were so thick they would dig up the corn seed....kind of what I am...

    The hatch is happening in NW IA and replanting plots.

    I saw chicks yesterday and today in different places. My food plots are a disaster as the birds are eating the the seeds from the ground, corn and sorghum. I replanted for the last time today. A week ago I started spreading shelled corn inside a hedgerow about a quarter mile long that is...

    What is this?

    That looks like a joke, photo shopped, is what I am hoping.

    Looks like NRCS is going to have some major cuts.

    I am glad our CRP is not coming out in the next 4 years, but a lot of the current ground in the program will be, this will likely be the end for much wildlife habitat in the state. We dont have tons of CRP in Iowa, but what we have, is what holds the majority of the birds.

    Seeded some EQUIP ground today.

    Looks great, the tool with a cultipacker is just the tool you need! That leaves an awesome looking finish. Now a soaking rain would be nice. I was using a rear spreader similar to that today, but I was spreading corn for the birds....they are completely destroying my food plots. I thought...

    Looking for locals to guide?

    Oh, I wouldn't be guiding anyone. It would be exchanging some currency for you to follow my dog around our CRP and shoot pheasants until you each had 3! And I will be shooting my 3 also.

    Looking for locals to guide?

    Keep in touch as that gets close, maybe we can work something out. I hate to see you make a journey like that and not see a pile of birds for your efforts.
