Brandon - I enjoy working in MN. I use the same techniques, but often change the timing - and swat more bugs when I work there! - grant

We have been using rye as a cover crop for years now and love it! We always leave a small 5 acre piece go to full maturity and combine It for next seasons cover crop!

Welcome back to upstate NY Dr Grant! Looking forward to getting back home myself in a few weeks (out in Guam working right now) to see how my new clover food plots are looking...

Those rock walls are the rocks they pulled from the land when it was cleared for fields

Nelson - Yes and they serve as great bottlenecks now!

Remember even wind is created by temperature differences. Thermals are just very small localized versions of this. Like your point a couple weeks ago all the energy we have on Earth comes from the sun. The sun makes some spots hotter (warm front) than others (cold fronts) and the air expands out of it. So wind energy is just secondary solar energy.

I hope whatever logger is used in New York doesn't destroy the rock walls. We have a few dry stack walls around here and their historic value caused the rerouting of a new State highway.

Dr Grant, what's states do you think are sleeper states when it comes to good deer herds and big bucks? And which would you reccomend to someone buying hunting property in the next 5-10 years? Thanks so much!

@GrowingDeerTV 5 жыл бұрын

There are lots of variables! Kentucky isn;t a sleeper, but western Kentucky is one of my favorites! Only one buck tag allowed - but non-resident is over the counter! Kansas has great deer hunting and even more potential! I'm not an Iowa fan because even non-resident landowners have to draw for a tag. Illinois is expense - tags and land. My thoughts! - grant

Why does the crimper not destroy the soybean Sprout as well?

@GrowingDeerTV 5 жыл бұрын

David - Brent is correct - the young soybeans are very pliable. Crimping works best to terminate plants that are almost mature and have seed in the dough stage. - grant

I have a question. When making a food plot in the woods what plants should I plant because of a little light shining through?

@GrowingDeerTV 5 жыл бұрын

Brady - Some of the clovers are fairly shade tolerant. Most forage crops will grow in partial shade, they just won't be as productive as if planted where they'd receive full sun. - grant

@bradygrosse1793 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you grant for helping me out I will definitely look at planting some clover.

Curious as to what y’all recommend herbicide wise to kill off some sweet gum trees quickly?
