Thank you all for the input but it isn't my first venture into renting and although I am not looking to get rich off of someone else's ground, I do want to make a decent profit. Jan, of the bad experiences that you have had, did you contact them first about leasing or did they contact you? I...

That would seem to be the best way to calculate value because as you said there is so much variation in quality. I would like to add 20 pairs to my herd. There is a lot of pasture not being used in my area that I want to ask about. There are also a couple of ranches for sale that are way...

What are the going rates for pasture in your area? and or in mine if you are close to north central Arkansas. I am obviously not going to rent anything halfway across the state but am wanting more pasture and would like to know what the going rate for rent would be in my area. What is the normal...

Virginia or Eastern Wild Rye, ryegrass

I spent several hours with a crowbar and sharp shooter shovel digging up spiny thistles last weekend, I didn't get them all I know but I got any that would bloom before I had a chance to do it again. The best chance that you have of killing them with chemical is the first time you spray them, if...

We be applying avian excrement better known as slinging chicken chit.

Thanks, I could tell for the most part just by the grass, I haven't owned the place very long and the pasture size was more than doubled a couple of years before I bought it. The photo in this survey shows it right after being cleared . I did do a grid and that is why the many buckets. There was...

I was trying to find a spreader to rent but there are none to be had, I been shopping around to see if I could find one cheap enough to justify owning it and have ran across tons of salt spreaders cheap, or fairly cheap compared to fertilizer buggies. I have a trailer that I can mount one on but...

Salt Spreader?

I've got a big electric hammer drill that I have used for that same thing. If you can get a 6 - 8 inch deep hole you can put the post in the hole and pour Por Rok or Rockite around it, it aint going anywhere,

Done, finally. It will be interesting to see what the different color variation from one area to the next related to, organic matter maybe? There is one paddock, number 9, or the top sample in the picture, which is the cows favorite. They hang out there feeding 50 % of the time. I really want...

How did your minerals look? Did the test results change they way you looked at or bought minerals for your livestock?

I have one paddock that I thought about welding the probe to a jackhammer. I did have to file a roll off the edge of the probe after sampling that one.

A few more photos, wish that I had taken some of the samples in the buckets. It was getting dark so bagged them up and brought them home to finish sifting the rocks and roots out.

I'm pretty high tech at breaking up clods too. I drop them off at the back door of the extension office with a note explaining where they are from and what the land will be used for. They get them to the lab and will mail me the results in about a week. I don't know about everywhere else but in...

Know what this is?

How long have you been farming @greybeard? I'm asking this knowing full well that one year will turn hair grey.

If there is anybody who knows they are "Small Time", that would be me. I am reminded of it often when I have to drive by the big boys who are my neighbors.

Cool, will you put it back in against the trees? Or will you leave a buffer zone?
