Call me crazy but I don't think these grain prices being driven in to the gutter is an accident either. What better way to force farms in to the solar trap. Break them financially and dangle that carrot in front of them to sign up .

In our side of the state we're 3 years in of crappy to no crops because of drought. This year corn will be really good and beans fair to good but the price is off so bad that the extra yields won't matter unfortunately. 100 bu corn @ $6.5 still beats 150bu @ 4.

The math isn't mathing for these guys any longer. The smoke is blowing away and the mirrors cracking on this deal. I deal with producers daily and am one myself. The calculator and survival are 1 and 1a for these guys right now.

I think they'll be a whole lot more receptive to offers these days. I wouldn't be afraid to make some offers on those pieces you drive by thinking man I wish I could hunt that. I think you'd be surprised how close you might be to what producers are actually profiting right now.

If we as upland hunters and people pushing for habitat improvement and opportunities are ever going to get back some acres, now is the time. We're in/heading into a situation where farming will not pay for a big portion of this marginal land. Farmers are looking to drop low production acres or...

I'm on the road a lot in rural areas of Eastern half of Kansas and some of western Missouri and I don't see it.

The county I live in just finished, this week, a 2 year fight with big solar and their investors and won with a commercial prohibition County wide. This saved 8-10k acres of farmland, much of which borders a state and federal wildlife area. Hopefully many counties will follow and fight back, it...

Very concerned. In fact come fall I will put down any male pheasant and any quail I see. Just doing my part.

We usually eat out first night for convenience and the last night to avoid dishes and cleanup. We seem to eat out more and more every year. I love to cook but after a long day it's getting easier and easier to push for going out. We always do breakfast at the house and sandwiches and chips in...

Sorghum/milo is a grass technically so no go on the roundup. Burn it down good and throw down some atrazine, you'll be good.

I always used to figure that in then a buddy said one day "what you don't eat at home?" Very true

Yep. We actually had a good hatch in my neck of the woods in KS but we still are way down. There's still more days that I don't see a turkey than when I do.

Check your corn pile slightly after daylight and then again late afternoon. Chances are good

I don't want to know the number but even if our group shot limits everyday on our trips I'm guessing $18.33/# is cheaper than what we have invested in our cooler of birds on the way home. Who knew those fried pheasant dinners are actually fine dining 🤷‍♂️

We hunted a couple last year and I definitely see the benefits they would create. The ones we hunted were not set up for the way we hunted them. There was cover but very thin underneath and I think if pheasants were in there the race would be on as I didn't see any cover they might stop and...

Sometimes I don't have the right slicksters to do the smuggling my pack requires🤷‍♂️

A sweet little thing had it made for me on a date at a fair back in high school. The dog was a spitting image of my first and best shorthair I ever had. I have never washed it, it just get better with every field it carries a little dust out of. It fits perfect and still carries the duck bill...

I have a vest from cabelas that is going on 23 yrs old this year and I have a hat that I love that is going 27+years now. I've told my wife and daughter to cremate or bury me with it. That hat has seen a lot of great country and had a lot of fun in its life.

I travel with 3 if not 4 dogs a lot of the time. There's been times my "dog fees" are as much or close to the room cost and thats tough to swallow when they are kenneled and leave no mess behind that I ever see. I used to lie and just pay for like 1 but the "park at the room door" motels aren't...

Eastern half is just as bad except we started with more trees. But give those track hoes time they're working on that.
