Everything I've read, and all my common sense tells me that grounding my energizer is key to a good installation. Problem is, I got a rock issue. I can drive a fence post through it with the tractor bucket, but an 8' ground rod is so flimsy it won't work. How good is ya'lls fence grounded...

how many of ya'll have deer problems in your garden? my first thought is electric fence. for anybody that has been successful, would you mind to share your "deer fence" specs? i'll probably have smaller varmints too before it's over. i'll be planting this same size garden in this same spot...

A few years back on a hunting trip, I donated my leatherman to the San Antonio TSA. I'd kinda like to have another one, and I was wondering if any of y'all had a favorite model you'd recommend?

i'm in the market for a couple of implements for a compact 32hp 4x4 kubota. namely a disc harrow and a bush hog. the used market is a little iffy in my area. a lot of what appears to be rusty junk for sale. it seems to me, the only reason somebody would sell a disc harrow is either they...

My buddy has hatched a crazy scheme to raise an acre of sweetcorn to sell. We got 4 boys between us, he figured it'll be a learning experience, blah blah blah. I ain't opposed, except for one small problem. I've never done it. Luckily, this is not the first time I've never not done something...

Stupid newbie question: I don't have a tractor yet, but my little brother has a ~45 hp 4wd kubota with a FEL. I was thinking about a few things I need to be able to do to start with on my place, and on the farms I deer hunt. Next year I'd like to take 2 separate hayfields and put in some milo...

Do the electric chain saw sharpeners work? Any advice on the subject?

ok, i don't know about the rest of you newbies, but i have a hard time deciphering what some of the jargon used here means. i've looked a lot of it up, but some of it i just can't find. maybe we start a thread where us newbs can ask "what the heck does SS, S mean", and you old hands can help...

I'm going to be closing on a new farm around the 1st week of August. It's 32ac with a good barn, grain silo, good fence, spring water and good gates. About 20-25 ac of decent fescue and clovers. What's the going rate on rent for something like that? There's 11 head of Herefords on it now...

what does a good 4x5 round bale of clean, dry pasture mix hay sell for in your area?

i've read a lot of CB and others posts about how important is to know your average daily cost/head. i don't really have a specific question, i'd just like to start a conversation about how some of you experienced hands figure your ADC, what you think is important to know, not know etc, as it...

is there a list anywhere here of cow vets? i've asked my local small pet vet, but they do not know of anybody in my area?

This is my first post - be gentle :-) I've tried the search function, and read for two days, but I can't find anything exactly what I'm looking for. I apologize if that has been answered a billion times. Goal: Raise beef cattle on a family farm. I want to grow the best beef I can. If I can...
