Pics of Charter Capt's new farm in TN

[HOSS]

Hoss, you are right it has an Olive Hill address

Allot of my family still live in the Olive Hill area so I thought that I recognized the farm. You should be happy there. Another area to consider for fresh water fishing is on the Tennessee River at Clifton. Put in at the Clifton Marina and fish the mouth of Ross Creek for good bass action.

If you go to the Savanah sale barn look up W.G. Howell who works there. He is a good friend of the family. He will make sure you are treated right.

Wow, that would be my dream place. Pics 1 and 3 almost look like you've moved to Cade's Cove.

Wife and I went to Cade's Cove on our honeymoon. Really cool.

Hey Capt. we are just up the road, highway 72 across the Mississippi line. I'm working a couple of horses for some folks in Savanna. There is a great place to eat up close to Corinth called Chapman's, all you can eat crab legs on the weekends. Looks like you need a couple o' horses to ride that place and check cows and fences. Good luck and let us hear from you.

Well done. I look forward to watching your progress.

Very nice looking place! I love the rolling hills.. we don't see much of that here in the "Blackland Prairie" of Texas!

Good luck.. you'll have a great time there!

the reason I drug this post back up is because we are going back to the farm for a week to do some work.

If you look at picture number 3 there are brush piles like the ones in the pictures all over the pastures. I plan on consolidating some of the small ones to burn and burn the larger ones where they are. I KNOW! Be careful !!

My question is after burning the brush, I plan on raking the dirt and replanting grass. Any suggestions on what type seed to plant?

In picture 5, those trees that you see are growing thru a fence that is electric, but not turned on at the moment and I have hundreds of yards of fence line that are like this. Suggestions on the best way to take care of this problem.

Thanks
Barry

Kentucky 31 fescue is a good choice. If it will be grazed add a little clover in and fertilize. You might want to wait until about October to sow as the heat and dryness will keep the roots from growing deep and it will die off.

Are you talking about Preston Carroll? Former wealthy construction company owner? If so yes....my cousin was once married to his daughter Anne who within the last five years was Tanya Tucker's famous nanny in her reality TV show on CMT.

I know some other Carrolls there also. Good country farming folks.

Shilo is the best Civil War battlefield experience I have ever had and I have been to several. Pick a quite April day when the dogwoods are in bloom and go sit on the bench near bloody pond. Close your eyes and you will feel that eerie, ghost-like feeling that will give you the willies. I am not usually a believer in ghosts but I think this place transcends "special" at least for me.

Chain saw, brush hook, and machete. Followed by herbicide when the brush starts coming back up.

It's good therapy.

Yes that is who I am talking about. My dad worked with Preston for 25 years. He grew up with his younger brother Sammy in Chapel Hill NC.. That is where the family is originally from. It is a small world isn't it. I know Ann, Lt. Preston and Clyde Carroll also. I also have a good friend of mine by the name of Jim Strickland that lives there also. I worked two years with them in the late 70's when I was 18 and 19 years old. They are good folks.

Captain
I would consider planting Persist orchard grass. It was developed at the University of Tn. specifically for the southeast,
and is supposed to be very hardy, and drought resistant. Google persist orchard grass, and you can find lots of info. Progressive farmer magazine featured it in an article several years ago.
