April 2nd 2016

The next day we went out for a full day of touring the Proving Ground...
Its named that due to the practices he has implemented to improve his
wildlife habitat over the years...He says if you can do it here, you can
do it anywheres...After seeing the property Id almost believe he s right...

It was a chilly morning and we started out learning about planting fruit trees...
In the background we could hear the turkeys gobbling...


This is what his gound looks like...Very rocky and the turnips and radishes
were growing right ontop of the ground...



View of his property...



Hard to tell but we dropped down 400+ feet down the hillside...


And old cabin on the property...


Next stop had us learning about soybeans...


Utility cage...



We also learned about no till drilling...



Another view of the type of land he has to work with...



A demo from Winchester...


More crops ontop of the soil...



Next was a discussion about using electric fencing to keep the deer out of the food
to save some for winter...













We also had a talk about perscribed fires but it was a little breezy so didnt
get to see a demo...









Finally we had a demo about the 3 types of broadheads and what works best...
It really comes down to preference...
