3 minutes left to go in the 4th (sorry watching via DVR). Vikes in the leader and win or lose they look good. Defense was a little week in the first but looked much better rest of game.

http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/12_week.gif Just checked out the animation and the southern part of the state has gone from bad to worse. Good chance of rain coming thru the whole region tonight. Most all the casual potholes are bone dry in the southern central and SE must be even worse.

Just curious what others think on this. I know just from ready other posts about public being hayed and grazed quite a bit, and looking like every road ditch in the state has been mowed with no much moisture to get any covered grown back in them. Seems like the pressure on public lands could...

Not new but new acres of a popular one that people sign up very quickly. I also got confirm that the CP-42 pollinator is eligible as a CCRP and pays $150 signing bonus, 50% cost share and no rental bonus. Advantage is you can put it anywhere and for as many acres as you want.

Our Roscoe-Hosmer Camp owners bought the school in Hosmer and have fixed it up for a hunting lodge. My Labor Day weekend consists of driving out from Mpls across 12 and staying in Aberdeen tonight and then off to Hosmer tomorrow. So far western MN looks pretty dry. Sugar Beets are coming out...

Here's my Roadcount Video from summer of 2010 (just to get you warmed up for the 2012 report. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TppsITzN0oE I think Game and Fish should be required to produce video along with their roadcount surveys:D

The group leader of the Week 5 group at our Wolf Creek Camp called today to say a couple of his guys could not go and he needs 1-3 hunters to fill his group and get to minimum group size of 6. Here are the details for this hunt. Call or email Kent if interested as I am not able to match up...

Rumor has it some of the road count surveys for the state may have quite a bit of variability regarding dew and road count numbers. It was interesting to learn that by state law (statute) these surveys need to be completed by Aug. 15th. He also mentioned that depending on the dew situation...

So get this....I thought I would be neighborly and work with guy across road to rent/crop my west farm this year. here is the sequence of events. -with early spring the volunteer weeds were getting pretty tall like 1-2' so I requested he spray those to uphold his what is in the contract. - so...

My Hats off to Travis Runia at SD Game and Fish. He knocked one out of the park when writing this 6 part series now found on the Game and Fish Website. here is a link to the PDF version of the series. Enjoy! http://gfp.sd.gov/ePubs/digest/PheasantEcology/PheasantEcology-online.pdf

CP-42 Pollinator is now a continuous CRP program. Why is this significant? $150/acre SIP 90% cost share 10-15 year option 20% bonus on the rental rate No acreage limitation You can put it just about anywhere you have the cropping history 4 of 6 from 02-07. And a dang good mix for...

WOW! Every year in SD is different. This year the crops are way way ahead of 5-year average. Take wheat for instance: 84 % colored this year vs. 4% last year and 22% 5-year average. Wheat harvest has begun in some areas. Corn is 28" tall this year as compared with 12" last year at this...

Very encouraged today. Was out doing some light clipping of weeds around buildings here. Most of the CRP does not require any additional weed maint during this crucial hatch time. There was one small patch of kochia in my CP 33 and I wanted to clip a commute trail alongside a CP5a (10') path...

This is a great concept that needs to grow and expand. The project champion has done a great job to launch this. Feel free to contact him directly and get on his communication update list. I plan to deploy a flushing bar on my farm to help save ducks, pheasants and fawns. Here is a link to 2...

Just visiting with the guy, that farms my ground, in church this morning and he said he saw a hen with a brood cross the road in front of him last week on hwy 281 just south of Armour. Said chicks could not have been more than a couple days old. Heading out now to doing some mowing and weed...

Just done reviewing the weeks crop report and 10 day weather forecast for the state of South Dakota. what really jumps out at me is how far ahead of the 5-year average the crops are. Winter Wheat, Corn, soybeans are all way ahead of schedule. I am not sure if there is any correlation but...

Personally I don't know all the details and don't see my self going to many games. I do however think the stadium is a necessary evil and will be good for the state overall. I also would hate to see the state lose the team so am happy they will have a home for a long time. GO VIKES!!

Thought I would make you aware that we have gone from 9 camps to 12 this year. New camp minimums are 4,5,6,& 8. The third one has a 6 or 8 options. Here are the main links showing all availability and also a list of all camp minimums and capacities...

Average for Lake Andes is 3.14 and rainfall received is 4.8. Good for farmers and ducks but not good for pheasants. looks like moisture has returned to the forecasts and the drought is over. Let's hope the temps are up in May and rainfall goes back to average. just looking at the 10 day...
