    John Deere 5E vs 5M

    I recommend you go to JD website and compare the two and you decide. Is there a difference, yes sir but is the difference worth the price point to you? We can all give an opinion, but it is just that. It is better you go through it line by line as they allow you to on JD's website and you can...

    Rancher Wanted

    Could be in Plaquemines Parish. It is just South of New Orleans and protected by levees on both sides you can see while driving along the hwy. Plenty of grazing there when I spent a little time there post Katrina. Eerie feeling to watch the big boats pass by above you and only a levee between...

    Do you call it Hay?

    I was once made fun of by a fellow for saying car tire(tar) and cell tower(tar) both tire/tower sounds the same but context gives it away. I quickly reminded him that a fellow from MS doesn't have any room to talk. :) Let's just say I got the eraser or whatever was in my teachers hand thrown at...

    Today's effort

    Everything looks awesome besides that pesky moisture. You didn't happen to use a preservative did you? One of the reasons we went to haylage is it is just almost impossible to get everything right in the spring but you dern near did it. If you ever get a chance to sit in on a haylage seminar I...

    Today's effort

    Oscar, Are you going to get the hay tested? If so please post the results. Just curious as to what it would check. OldCrow

    Today's effort

    You'll be doing what most can't get done and envy, including me, which is cutting at the right time for quality, and getting it cured/rolled. Very hard to do that around here and is one of the reasons I've went to haylage for ryegrass. Wish you the best and keep trucking!

    Disease of farming

    It is. I drive a certain way when traveling to see certain farms and what they have been up to. I don't try to keep up with them but just like to see old equipment that is in use and maintenance being kept up on everything. New stuff doesn't impress me but if it's old my tongue hangs out. My...

    Funny

    No doubt! Along the same lines when I was a kid I never understood why my parents locked the door on Sunday Mornings. :yuck: Now that I have kids of my own I do. Little rascals are relentless and if they are awake they won't leave you alone for 2 seconds, but I love it.

    This would be a bad day at the barn

    He showed great athleticism! Did you see how he kicked off the arena wall? :pop:

    3020 Gasser

    It's not a bad tractor. Carburetor is the source of most problems people have with them followed by ignition issues. I agree Robert's will set it right and are what I would call carb specialists. Can't remember which one but some would replace the carb with a different one for better...

    Twin - Bottle Feeding Question

    You don't think a quart was enough. Hour 1 - found calf, hour 3 - fed calf one quart, hour 7 - tried feeding again but only took a couple sips. You think a tube feeding is necessary. I was only thinking that if he didn't take another quart in the morning. He only weighs between 35-40lbs. I...

    Twin - Bottle Feeding Question

    Ok, I've been raising cattle a little over 11 years now but have never had a twin, that I know of not saying I haven't. The mother is an angus influenced heifer that had been sick so we were keeping her up and feeding her separate to nurse her back to good health. Well today she had twins(tiny...

    Carl Edwards out of racing.

    I liked Carl but lost interest in racing once Mark Martin got out. I just couldn't find another driver I liked as well. I can understand not taking risks anymore as he stated. I think number three in the article may have been his number 1 but I could be wrong. What I think and don't do at 31...

    Interesting Finicum Video

    I'm not for sure what you mean by your comment which is very open please expound on the topic as it just brings up more questions gimpy. On the OUTSIDE here is how it looks: 1. Their are some harsh statements you made about the situation. He is fighting for his family and way of life which in...
