    More peace from the peaceful.

    I am in the same boat about not knowing enough to make an intelligent comment on this subject. I just watched the documentary "Jihad in America" . Has anyone seen it and if so how factual do you believe it is?

    air impacts

    Take a look at the Milwaukee M18fuel cordless impact. 1100 ft-lbs break away and 700 ft-lbs tightening. Very handy on a farm.

    Perilla mint/purple mint toxicity

    We were in the dairy business till 2002 and have had beef since then. Plenty of mint in shady areas around edges of fields. We have never had an issue and it wasn't until a few years ago that I found out it was toxic. Undoubtedly they aren't bad about eating it. Hopefully your luck will...

    Broomsedge?

    Where I am located in southeast La., Bahia and Bermuda are our summer grasses. I am trying to establish about 15 acres that was predominantly broomsedge in Argentina. I did this by plowing it up in the fall and seeding with winter ryegrass and Argentina. Probably not the best scenario. I now...

    Broomsedge?

    My neighbor and I have been fighting this battle for a few years now. We have our soil ph in a range of 6.7 to 7.2. The field with the 7.2 ph is a solid stand of broomsedge. In the fields where it was not fully established it appears we are gaining ground and the cows are surely eating the hay...

    Funny money, what would you do?

    First, I would try to determine if the person handing it to me knew it was counterfeit. If they knew, I would treat it as stealing.

    Zero turn mower recommendations

    I have had a 48 in Ferris with a 21 hp Kawasaki for 3 seasons. I fought this and the iphones for years. now I realize I should have bought the first of each. I cut about 10 acres at least every two weeks during grass cutting season. In south La we have some years that we cut a little grass...

    ATV Parts

    x2 I've gotten 2 old Honda fourtrax 300's that seem to have the same problems together. Both needed starters so bought an aftermarket from bikebandit for one and rebuilt the other against Honda dealers recommendation. Rebuild did not work well from the gitgo. Replaced with another...

    Be careful what you say to your doctor...

    Used to work at a plant in south Louisiana and we had to take a psychological exam ever 5 years. Written and oral. One of my good friends answered honestly about beer drinking. When the doc followed up on the oral he told him on a good hot weekend of seafood cooking he could easily drink a...

    Duluth Trading

    I've been wearing Carhartt T shirts for years. lately I have been very disappointed in the quality. It's according to which foreign country that they were made in determines what size you need. Also the collars are not as heavy as they once were and stretch out pretty fast. I broke down and...

    Summer Pneumonia

    A couple of things that can cause symptoms similar to pneumonia and neither respond to antibiotics are eating Dallas grass seed heads that have fungus on them and perilla mint weed. Don't know if any of you have any of this or not but worth looking at. Here's a link to article on mint weed...

    Rough Year with Pinkeye

    Got a neighbor in his 60's swears all he has ever done is throw a handful of loose salt in their eye and it clears right up. He said his dad showed him this when they were in the dairy business and they used it to prevent any milk residue issues.

    adult mole cricket control in garden?

    I'm late here, but if you still have them, try putting you some concentrated lemon juice or just some cheep dishwashing liquid with lemon in it in a five gallon bucket of water and pour it on the ground where they are. In a few minutes they'll all be on the top of the ground. Lemon irritates...
