Got a couple I-beams mounted on the disk, it seems to help,l. I disked the garden and a small food plot. The tractor temp has been bumping on the RED just pulling a bush-hog and the fertilizer cart, so last night I degreased/cleaned the air intake grills. I had bought a wand (attaches to a...

It must be the limestone in the road gravel that they get it from in my area, not many other places I would guess. I just googled it, insects & snails and I don't see many snails here. Found this article too from 1955 https://www.jstor.org/stable/3797381?origin=crossref below is the start...

Yep, west of Sioux City, last weekend found one crawling on me. It's that season. Started Nex Gard that day....for the dog.

I just noticed this was in the South Dakota area. The below is for IOWA...so pretty much irrelevant. Here is a link to the rates that ISU's survey responses provided. I am in "District 1", it shows our average at $304/acre. https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/pdf/c2-10.pdf

Wow, great effort! A great property for sure. Not a lot of landowners willing do what they have done. Thanks for sharing that.

Like the rest of the crop ground around, our food plots are starting to get attention. This past weekend, I took a bush-hog style mower to about 3 acres of old food plots. I am trying to pulverize the standing weeds and standing sorghum as our lightweight disk struggles with much trash. I...

I am guessing there were more that just who they talked about helping...hard to pull something that big off without some help from the seller and a bunch of organizations chipping in.

And then once the solar company has bought the land they need at unimaginable prices, the sellers will be able to go to extreme prices to buy land to replace what they just sold. Hopefully that doesn't influence the market for the long term.

Wow. Do they want the entire farm or just carve out the exact footprint placement of the units? If you could take 15 acres next to the road, there is your retirement funds. That might be more than tempting!

Was that $6k per acre, per year? !?!?

$47K per acre.....they will be able to buy all they want at that price. I agree on finding different places to place these solar units, get creative, they say it costs more in urban setting, well, $47K/acre must even things out a bit.

Sounds like you are too light on the rental rate.

I use Golden Rods, I have power in the vaults for the lighting also. If you zoom-in yyou can see the gold bar across the back, down low. **I don't keep my boots in there, that is a box for car titles, life ins policies, property abstracts and such.

I have one of the bigger/taller ones, it wasn't too bad with a few guys and pipes to roll it on....20 some years ago. I got a vault from a bank, out of a temporary building they had, it held the safety deposit boxes. I thought I could get it moved until I spoke to a fella at the security...

Might have to search for that. Thanks. ***poked around a bit and didn't see a "fix"

The one you really want is next to it....the extra height, gives you 2 shelves for all your other goodies (handguns, optics, primers, accessories, etc). Nice looking vault, the door looks to increase the capacity a lot.

In the fire breaks, if it were mine, I would try white clover. It stays short and if there are many deer around, they will have it ate down to about nothing in the fall, so in the spring it would be about bare ground. Short clover puts the bugs it attracts down low too.

I like what you are doing. I feel those fire breaks will also provide corridors for the chicks to navigate outside of the habitat with the heavy understory. Personally, I would like to add the green fire breaks to ours. I am guessing it may not be a "necessity" as the birds are flourishing...
