In this episode I talk about my short (thank God) brassica food plot season. All no-till. Most shortest and successful brassica season. I then explain the new market I've stumbled into mainly cattle producers. I talk about bringing my dad's Paul Knox Dbltree, Lick Creek mix into the cattle world. However, greatly modified to allow certain aspects to produce more tonnage and some diversity.

In this episode, I talk about some of my daily experiences that we all go through. I talked about the differences in habitat on our bottom oak savana from the bottom ridge to the top ridge. How quickly creating an opening and buring did! I then talk about all the different options with EQIP from bat houses to concrete stream crossings! I also talked about bat houses and the importance of bats!

In this episode I talk about my spring turkey season. I did not get a tom, but my goodness it was night and day difference to the turkety activity and excitement I experienced on my farm. It was encouraging and motivates me more to take care of my farm to its deepest potential. Also I get into woodcock management at the end so hope you enjoy!

Folks today is a rougher episode. I open my heart to express the potential I need to tap into for my farm and the county it resides in. I also tear into us, myself included, for not having a tighter grip on invasive species. We have sacrificed our native ecology for the norm. I am sick and tired of not seeing my fellow Americans getting serious about invasives, but I am also one to blame. This is a rant. It's pure frustration being let out and I hope it lights the fire under you to get to work with me.

Hiya folks. It's been a busy spring and summer. This is catch up episode. I talked about hack n squirting black locust, using milestone, the drought, failure is opportunity, EQIP update, and my honest and brutal opinion on food plots.

This episode we go over the one hell of a week I've had, but mainly we focus on the prescribed fire we used for an old field setting, a savanna, timber, and an unintentional prairie fire (don't worry it was mine).

In this episode, I catch you guys up on what I've been up too. Taking on tree plantings, sprayer calibrations, EQIP, CSP, and black locust. I'm all over the place so try to keep up!

In this episode, I interviewed Thomas Baldirdge of Sawdust and Fire under the Land and Legacy podcast. Thomas is on a deep quest of understanding native habitat managmenet going as far as introducing cattle for added disturbance also working with Audoubon on creating eco-region focused seeds!
We also talked about the beauty of Arkansas, Thomas's family, human effect on the environment, and Thomas's journey into native habitat management.
Hope you all enjoyed this as I did!

In this episode, we catch up with Hunter Johnson of the Sawdust and Fire podcast. Hunter and I talked about his whitetail and watefowl season. What Hunter has learned from his retreiever/boxer mix pup, Lankey. Lankey is an incredible tracking dog that has served over 60 hunters either retrieve deer or confirm the deer weren't wounded.
The main topic we talked about was, despite being short: what makes habitat managers so happy? The power went out on Hunter's end and as I waited for his return, my zoom meeting froze.... so that rudely interrupted our conversation, but it's always great catching up with Hunter. Hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode, we catch up with our fellow Land Plan member Zach Haas of Creek Bottom Land Management. Zach and I talk about his whitetail hunt in his home state of Wisconsin, his whitetail hunt in Kentucky, and to top it off his bison hunt in South Dakota. Zach and I also talked about the struggles Wisconsin hunters and land managers face from the state level and the "if its brown its down" mentality.
It was a fascinating conversation to learn about Zach's diversity as a hunter and land managers while learning the different struggles states face.
