… but ya’ll need to just drink some cold beer … straight out the can …and carry on

… making things waaaay too complicated in here

benelli, i believe i have what you are looking for. I'll check in the morning and let you know.

Yep root systems are unreal. 3 year old tree I dug. Sold a few hundred this spring. Dug most with the bobcat but this one I dug by hand just to see what the roots were doing. These ones love the sand.

One of the nurseries I buy from sells black cherry. As much of a weed as they are on my property, I can't imagine buying them to intentionally propagate.

I can see where it may be beneficial occasionally but I'm glad we don't have to do it here. So please keep that stuff out east and down south. Thank you.
Around here most of the landowners would take it as someone bothering them with the paperwork and over regulation. I've been fortunate to hunt the same land for over 40 years so I think the landowner knows me. I hope it stays that way for the awhile yet.

I've been avoiding mowing in the late evening, and it's really helped. Once the grass is wet it wants to pile up and makes a mess of the mower.

Will be 70 next B Day. With a bad back I don't run anymore....

2 years ago, I had a patch of knapweed show up on my frontage on the state highway. I keep it mowed. It does not seem to spread at all. The patch is gradually shrinking in size. It started in a hayfield, that didn't get cut in a timely manner due to rain, a couple of seasons.

It's a perennial, but should eventually die out as long as it can't flower. Frequent mowing reduces many noxious weeds.

The bear seems to have moved on.

At 70 years old aint nobody got time fo dat.

At yesterday's invasive plant workshop at Fort McCoy, the most interesting thing I learned was about the rise in popularity of invisible fencing for grazing goat herds. I suppose the reason predators don't bother their herds is because they utilize herd sizes of 40 goats. I only have six goats, so i'm not sure I would trust that predators would leave them alone with an invisible fence. If I could think of a way to make it work it might make things easy for moving my herd around my property though. The guy from 'Goats on the Go' said domestic dogs are what bother their goats the most though.

They said there's been quite a rise recently in the number of brands that offer this for livestock, but that this brand is the only one that offers it for goats or sheep.

GPS rarely siezes to amaze me. The herdsman was showing me imagery on his smartphone of some of his other herds, in which he could see where each animal was.

Moving cattle panels can get a bit old.
