Its about that time of year!!!!
« on: January 08, 2007, 07:30:36 AM »
       Whats everyone planting this year? Its about time to figure out what to plant,and where to plant it in the deer food plots for next hunting season. Don't want to forget to order it!
       I think I'll plant roundup corn 2a,some more biologic 2a [not sure which one],millet 1a  and winter wheat 2a....thats up in N.W. Indiana. Also,have worked out a deal with the Farmer to the north who is going to plant 5-6 a of silage for his cows. Hes going to leave 8 rows of corn through winter for the Deer. Plus,if I buy the seed corn and other seeds for the other plots, he will plow,disk and plant for free.... I think thats a great deal! For those that don't have a tractor, you might trade a little land for the tractor work.I think its  not a bad trade.....What do you guys think??

Man, Oh man.  It MUST be nice to have so much just to even consider trading LAND for tractor work.  I'm all over that from the tractor owner side.  Too bad I can't "import it" back to FL or I'd be driving your way already with tractor in tow.  What a concept.  I'm blown away.  Forgive me, land here is NOT CHEAP.  Affording any beyond the land on which the homestead stands is tough.  Too many siphons for the "encumbered" money earned at work (it's already spent).  Particularly on the kids.  Not enough farm land here either.  If it is cleared it is either for cattle or citrus and not for sale or imminent housing development and far too expensive.  If it is not cleared, it probably belongs to the State or some Federal Agency.  Well, maybe not completely, there are still some tree farms for pulp and paper too and a lot of protected wetlands.
