I don't know the limitations in South Dakota with the shorter season and cooler climate, but you could rotate your row crop with wheat and a legume like cowpeas or mung beans. If you need more cover for winter, you could mix those same legumes with milo and several millet varieties that would...

I had a buddy that I met via puppies. He lived at the north end of Tuttle Creek Reservoir at the time. At some point he had asked me where I would live if I had the choice to move closer to birds. I told him NW or NC Kansas. Before long he contacted me saying he had bought a place NW of...

I've fed Black Gold in the black bag for over a decade with good results. It's about $27/50# and I buy 12-40 bags at a time through a wholesale feed store.

Vetch pods are much larger as are their seeds.

Common name around here is deer vetch. I've also heard it called Persch's trefoil. Excellent quail food. Grows best in wet spring years. Throws its seeds when that pod erupts. A light disking can broaden its coverage. One of the top 4 quail foods here. I believe the picture above is Crown...

If you were closer, I have a root plow sitting here that could be borrowed to set back the influence of the trees! Wise decision to not tolerate the limited productivity of those acres and stop losing resources that won't pan out for your income goals!

My 2022 plans are Optomistic! I have 1121 acres on the spring burn plan and 556 on the summer schedule. I plan to go through each burn after they start to green up and cut any trees out in the grass as well as the ones refuged in the middle of tree rows and plum thickets. I have a new NAWCA...

Congrats Mo!

Here is my permanent cure for beaver and muskrats poking holes in my pond dams and marsh dikes.

A lot of reports of sick and dead deer this year. Many are the result of brain abscesses from fighting or EHD.

It doesn't matter where the burns are being conducted, big bluestem, little bluestem, switchgrass, indian grass, blue gramma, hairy gramma, side-oats gramma, and buffalo grasses all evolved under the effects of fire and that is necessary to keep them vigorous. Setting your projected dates and...

It will provide what you ask for unless you run into a problem child like birddude! Write down what you want from the review. Ask pertinent questions. Don't be bashful. Ask that he include the adjacent habitat as part of his/her evaluation so you are not wasting money adding what is already...

Hunted in wind chill of -42 one time. Within 100 yards of the truck got into birds and shot 3 roosters standing in 1 spot with my over and under. Finished the limit on the next side. Birds didn't want to get up.

My old Sky dog was Thor bred and had some wheels. I hunted out by Oakley and in a mile and a half long wheat stubble field he pointed a tumbleweed. A coyote flushed from it and headed away. Sky chased they coyote down and chest rolled him then watched him away! I've had several pointed since...

I think you are going to find that the State biologists have more experience on average and also there are probably more of them. Both could serve you well.

Bob, to better answer some of your questions, native warm-season grass (NWSG) evolved with fire. Big bluestem and Indiangrass both are fire dependent, which means for them to prosper they need fire. A normal burn rotation can be every other year in areas with greater annual rainfall, to every...

Anyone can throw out options that will provide for some of the needs for pheasants on a piece of ground, and they are usually right that their management idea is pheasant friendly. However, to make your parcel of ground better for pheasants than it already is, you have to direct your management...

Go onto youtube and enter four county fire or Paradise fire in Kansas and you can bring up videos showing dead cattle all over, burned of ground with no ashes left except in drifts in the ditches as well as some of what was left of some of the homes that burned. It is horrible! I know what I...
