Cause T.P. always used to like pichers.

My small mud puddle ponds are holding more water all the time and although you can't see it well, in this picture, they are getting used, a lot. This one is at the end of a food plot.

All the plots are getting used and looking very well, this year, compared to last. Radishes, wheat and clover being used. Purple Top Turnips are being used by the Members, hopefully we'll see some signs of deer use, soon.

Our oats got hit fairly hard when the temps got down below 50F, although they seems to have a little leaf burn from the nights below 20. After checking cameras and pulling samples this week I was happy to see deer using them. I counted 9 in this picture

The oats are still working for you! Still thinking about doing some Eagle Soybeans?

I think we have settled on ICPs. We plan on planting around 6 acres, and the Eagle beans were going to be a little too expensive at the moment.

Here's my powerline plot, doin pretty good, combine wheat and oats. If you're heading down Hwy 80 east from Talbotton, just past Poplar trace you'll see it on the right.....

Rode by there this weekend. Thought I saw a yeti on the powerline right beside the road. I stopped and turned around when I got out to take a picture I realized someone lost a cheap cooler..

Started breaking up some new plots with my new to me Fred Cain Cultivator today, this thing really breaks the hard ground up. Bringing the dozer up in a few weeks to expand some of the plots, biggest will go from 1/3 acre to around 1.5 acres. Pulled 10 soil samples as well to get ready to put down lime as soon as they are all expanded. Probably end of February or mid March.

I am not sure what is in those tree tubes, at the far end. They were planted when I wasn't around. The tall trees on the right are some apples, and dunstan chestnuts we planted a few years back.

Cause T.P. loved pictures...

Daylighted an interior rd and planted in wheat and white clover. Come late April wheat will be terminated and should have a nice stand of perennial clover that will last for several years.

Bout a 1/3 acre plot planted in perennial clover (durana n ladino) with wheat as a nurse crop.

Perimeter of largest plot, about 6 acres with the perimeter planted in durana and ladino clover with wheat as a nurse crop.
Bean Field Perimeter.jpg

Lastly...pic of rotting turnips planted in the interior of largest plot last fall. Think I'm done with brassicas after planting them for 5 or 6 years. Deer do eat the tops, nibble on the bulbs, but have come to the conclusion that I get more bang for the buck with oats, wheat n rye grains.

I think they are pears.

Triple C,
I plant turnips and such every 3-4 years. It keeps me from having soil compacted to much.
