    Tell me about "the 80's"

    I have often heard people reference the 80's as the farm crisis. Often times inflation is also referred to when talking about the 80's. Could someone explain to me exactly what happened prior to, and during this time frame? Also, do you think a time like the 80's could happen again? Are we...

    Leveling dry soil just prior to seeding

    After thinking about this a bit more, I wonder if I took a plate of metal, say 6 wide x the width of the drill and hung it from the hitch, not fully on the ground but with it just kinda dragging along like a big heavy mudflap dragging on the ground, if that would knock down some high spots and...

    Leveling dry soil just prior to seeding

    I am wanting to level some dry worked ground prior to seeding with the grain drill. I worked the field with the field cultivator that has a poor harrow on the back. There are still some ridges and gouges, along with some dirt clumps that I could like to work flat just in front of the...

    756 PTO wont engage

    I am having an unusual problem here. When I lift the lever to engage the PTO is doesn't want to go all the way up to lock the PTO into the on position. I removed the linkage from the PTO control valve and determined that the problem is in the control valve. It feels like there is something...

    Planting hay in Spring

    Hi Jon, I see your looking to do the same thing as I am in planting grass hay with a cover crop of oats. My question to you is, what are you going to do with the oats? Will you let them mature and combine them? or will you cut them early as oat hay? I don't have a combine, but a neighbor...

    Planting hay in Spring

    I picked up a 20 acre field that I would like to plant to hay. It is currently worked up ground that was prevent plant last year. I am thinking about just going over it with my field cultivator and then planting it with the a Brillion Sure Stand seeder that I can rent from my local co-op. I'll...

    Rookie deer hunting question

    I've got and idea on how to gut a deer. The rest I'll learn by doing. I have some neighbors that have told me to give them a call if some help is needed with gutting or dragging it out of the woods. I'm looking forward to being out there with nature.

    Rookie deer hunting question

    I'm headed out into the woods tomorrow morning to deer hunt for the first time. I've spent parts of the summer planting food plots, building a box blind, and just thinking and talking about hunting deer. One thought and concern that I have is what do I do if I shoot a deer, track its blood...

    buying farm land as an investment

    I can see the upside in buying the land, but I certainly won't stick my neck out just too far to do it. I'd like to ask you this. Things go in cycles, ups and downs are normal, the Ag economy is no different. Where do you feel the ag economy is at right now? I believe it is on a downward...

    buying farm land as an investment

    I have the opportunity to purchase an 80 acre parcel real close to me. It has been farmed by a BTO for at least 10 years and probably longer. This is a decent 80, 75 acres of it are tillable, this BTO has been paying very high (too high I think) rent on this piece. I talked with the land...

    choosing an Auction Company live or online??

    I decided to hang up my farming gig last winter and did not put in a crop this year. I sold most of my equipment over the Winter and early Spring by listing it on craigslist piece by piece. I am down to my older tractors that all have collector value, but could still be used on an active farm...

    Selling out or staying in

    I don't think its all about being rich and living the high life. I don't think its all about being poor and trying to be happy doing just what you want to do. I think it is all about moderation. Be happy that you can do what you want to do by making good choices and avoiding the things that...
