Thanks for the replys, i think i'm on the right track here. This year has been crazy for the amount of rain and looks like in the spring i have plenty of holes in the barns to repair. :roll: One of the hay barns i checked yesterday has serious drainage problems from the field with the flooding...

I'm looking for ideas to see what others use for floors in hay barns. Most all our hay barns have just dirt floors and in the past we have used pallets/tires to set the bales on.This year we just left the bottom bales on the ground and noticed some dirt and spoilage from this years bales. I dont...

Those are some great pictures of the house and barn. You have any idea when they where built? We have a house similar to that one on a neighbors place that use to belong to my family. It was built around 1910-1915 and was lived in till the 50s and abandoned. Almost a fully furnished house until...

Thats pretty good.. :) Heres one of my favorites Clemson tried earlier this year.. He didnt catch it but very thought out and slick. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYE4el3SEa4

This is pretty good.. :D :lol: The sad part it is mostly is true about new recruits. Like the three freshman from Tenn. arrested for trying to commit armed robbery. What were they thinking? All three started for the team... Some things just make you wonder... :shock:

I called last week to get a quote from two local co-ops and one was $48/Ton and the other $56/Ton spread and everything. So our prices are pretty similar. I did my test last month and we need about 1200Ibs an acre on most our fields. So we are going go the cheap route :| and do 600 an acre...

Im new to all this so I havent quite had the experience yet. :kid: But also last year i did the the same thing and broadcasted it and i wasnt really happy with the coverage and the amount of seed i seem to waste. So that is the primary reason i chose to use a drill this year. I also plan to...

Ok, I got some questions about drilling in seed in wet soil. We been trying to get our rye/oat/wheat in the ground for two weeks now and the rain isn’t giving us a break. I plan on no till drilling the seed in already disked and prepared field, but what conditions is ideal for seeding it in the...

Sounds to me like Western bitterweed. Here is a link from dow agrosciences weed i.d. http://www.dowagro.com/range/weed/wbitterweed.htm Here is a good picture of it. http://onlinemanuals.txdot.gov/txdotmanuals/veg/images/veg_3-57.jpg

I do believe longevity is very important for sustaining a cattle farm. I’m working on building my herd and I want cows that make me money, and not cost me money in the long run. Here is a link to some information from a Angus Farm in SC that have done work on predicting longevity. The...

Mine is the Ipod Nano 3rd generation i got back in 2007.. It's small but works great haven't had any problems with it, besides being small. Here is a list to help identify all the ipod models from apple. 8) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353

I have a Ipod nano too and it works pretty good and is really simple to use. Only thing i dont like about it is the battery life seems to die fast, and mine is really small so it becomes hard to find sometimes. :| I never have had a itouch, but i have a Iphone and i have most of my music on it...

Thanks Dun, thats what i was thinking. So buying these bags i guess can be worth the price.. :D

I was looking at some seed store's pricing and notice some have broken bag prices for significantly lower price's. I was wondering what exactly do they mean by broken bags? I was thinking damaged bags or something like that, but not really sure :?: :?

Ouch is right that hurts. :o :( I only have one more to test for AMC and I’ll be all free hopefully. Although, I hear that FCS will be a lot worse when the test for it is available. :roll:
