    Before auto tie balers

    After hay was cut with sickle mower and dried it was put into piles with rake like you see many of today as yard art. In our case an H Farmall moved piles to baler with a fel equipped with what might be described as a pallet fork with several tines and basket. I can still hear the man on...

    Some grinning guy on tv claims his stuff "sticks even under wooder" :giggle:

    Follow up on Poison Hemlock scare.

    I wouldn't go too hard on red mn for cautions about horses. Cows and sheep bite/chew grass off, horses pull grass out by roots so most cattlemen will not allow anyone else's horse on their place. The stocking rate is about 7x as much pastureland for horses as cows per hundredweight. I would...

    plow help

    I've turned under hundreds of acres with moldboards and still struggle to get them adjusted. After I had tried everything I knew and was making field look like a rubboard my brother or uncle would come by and set plow on a single round. What I've learned is that disc/one-way turning plow...

    Now would be a good time for me to quit.

    It's shameful that bureaucrats fine an 84 year old for elapse in memory and performance while rewarding 40 YOs sitting on porch doing nothing. I wager 80% of welfare recipients drive cars later model than 96.

    Mosquito control

    Everything can really fall apart if mother nature doesn't get the email after engineers fix the problem.

    Just picked up a Stihl pole saw---looking for operator tips

    ^What he said and I might add. Make initial cut 6" to 12" from trunk, second cut 2" to 3"farthar out so that when limb falls, you have a stub off trunk resembling a hog snout. Make the final cut outside of but close as possible to collar where limb comes off trunk. This advice applies to any...

    Mosquito control

    I don't even know how to spell injun ears and certainly can't afford to hire one every time I need to manage floodwater. It's usually a matter of modifying earthen "Nalert" livestock pond since you can never have too many. Several years ago we did several along a valley that channeled...

    Mosquito control

    Ok, so can I interest you in a box of chiggers? Unlike wolves and skeeters,you will never hear nor see them,regardless how many are around. I don't ask a thing in return, it's simply good ol Southern hospitality. But if you insist, John and I both will take as many unseasonably warm days off...

    Mosquito control

    You've got my attention. I understand how Richard G and MeanGene's chebbie trucks knock them out but I'd like you the explain how dunks and 5 gallon buckets work.

    What grass for pasture?

    Did cattle have dairy blood? Mom always kept a few dairy type in in case a calf was orphaned. I think it was nostalgia as much as anything but she was the boss. Since she passed I refuse having anything dairy around.
