    best way to rig truck bed tank to water?

    Soo, now that you can water the area, what about the soil compaction? Also, as the seeds germinate and begin to grow, driving over them will kill the plants. Have you figured out what you are going to do about this?

    Vertical welding - what's your technique???

    Hey, I have one of those. Last year I bought a new Miller 211. You can use it manually or the automatic settings. In auto, you set a knob to the metal thickness and another knob to the wire thickness. The machine makes welding easier. I have laid down some of the best looking welds with this...

    Handling cattle: Who taught you ?

Hoyt & Ben were in their late 60s or early 70s at the time and had cattle all their lives. They took me under their wing and became my cattle mentors. I learned alot from those guys over...

As said by my son a few years ago, when I told him that I ran into one of his teachers and the teacher paid him a complement. Never did tell my son who the teacher was, where I...

    Voted yet?

    I voted around 4:15 this afternoon. I took my 83 yo F-I-L to vote also. He wasn't going but when I asked if he voted, he said no. I said OK, but you know if you don't vote for your guy, it's just like voting for the other guy. He kinda perked up and asked when I was going. I told him and asked...

    Well earlier this week the food plots had just a hint of fine green wheat in them. They have een planted a month and all they got was two small rains a few days after planting. Not really enough to wet the soil since it was like powder when I plowed and planted. However, in the last 72 hours...
