Had a great weekend in Natchez with family and got the opportunity to go up to the farm on Saturday for a little work. Dad and I got the Tractor Shed Field, Owl Field and the Landing Strip sprayed with a mixture of Roundup and 2,4D. That should knock back all of the Fall mix that has been planted since September. We'll give it a couple of weeks and get the ground prepped for putting our Summer plots in. Dad picked up 14 bags of RR Soybeans and a couple bags of Milo on Friday. I'm considering renting the no-till from Devinney in Jackson to see if we can drill it in to help with weed control. We normally don't have much volunteer growth until we break the seed bed, at which time they flourish. I've got a couple weeks to decide what we'll do. Also got to enjoy an almost complete (how long have I been calling it that) camp. Apparently my phone decided to take terrible pictures of everything while I was there Saturday, so please forgive the quality of the photos. I also found an old roadbed while looking on Google Earth one day and was able to walk it out. To say I'm excited, both of the location on the property, as well as how it looked when I walked in there is an understatement. I will likely pull the pecan ladder and place that stand on the roadbed. I've already got a tree picked out. Being able to see more than 40 yards in the WRP is an accomplishment. This will allow me to see 100+ yards in a couple of directions, which should give me a great place to catch the big one slipping in and out of his bedroom. Access is very easy and I can slip in and out quietly. I'm looking forward to getting the stand hung and staying out until October. Next project is to get our millet and milo planted for dove season. I hope to do this early June. A few pictures are below.
