Find some farmer and pay him couple Hundo's to spread cow shit thick on them sand plots.
Mo - your plots look great as always. The young guy who moved in west of my place thinks he is going to get into dairy cattle. I might offer him a few places to spread manure if he does. He won't be in Dairy long, if he is able to find a stupid banker to even try. But if he does, grab all the shit you can get. We put it 6" think on all the gravel knobs.

Something besides sand to plant this chit in would help my odds. . I am considering getting a fertilizer buggy for next spring / summer......where they will blend fertilizer, lime, sulfur, NPK and whatever else I want into one buggy. Then apply that.....with a second application of N later in the season. I got about 3 to 4 primary acres to take "great care" of....then I got some clover / rye plots for secondary plotting. Maybe a total of six acres or so. We do need to talk. Find some farmer and pay him couple Hundo's to spread cow shit thick on them sand plots.
Not many farmers in tree country. That is an issue for me....and others. Do you think an add on CL would work. There is some dairy areas to the west of Jenkins. Some horses and cattle too. But so much of this is free range critters.

That’s what I was thinking as well, but not my place to wreck his dreams. I’ll let Walmart and Cargil wear him down like everyone else.

It ain't perfect by any stretch, but its not bad. Biggest thing I see guys do wrong is seed at the wrong rate, and the wrong fertilizer or not enough fertilizer. When we hang out golfing together this winter I will tell you how to do it.....LOl Something besides sand to plant this chit in would help my odds. .

Beware of brining in weeds with the poultry litter. I have done that with my garden.

My Moultrie cell cam is doing double duty, watching for deer and letting me know how my brassicas are doing. By the looks deer are hammering on the brassicas and the brassicas are growing great.

That looks damn good as well. How big is that plot? The total plot is 3 acres but half of it is planted in soybeans. You can see some of the beans on right side of pic.

Thats been my experience. By early nov no tops are left. With that said i have never used our 5 acre field for turnips. That was always corn or beans.
I never planted in larger than half acres plots for the turnips. Now those are just clover

Rutabaga and fixation balansa for me next year. I'm going all in on late season tubers and will dial up the muzzle loader. I will be the 2020 tuber champion.
I am not a nerd.

Just an FYI from my experience. Fixation is great stuff when fall planted and you get enough snow to protect it until spring. The growth it puts on in June and July is truly impressive. Planted in the spring, it's pretty much "meh"

Planted in the spring, it's pretty much "meh" I was thinking of planting it along with the Rutabaga at the beginning of July. I'll probably change my mind 10 times before then. Where I missed with my first spray this year, my Fixation from last Fall was pretty neat.

I've obviously never grown stuff as far as northern MN so I don't know first hand, but a July planting of rutabagas seems late up there?
