Last night I was out and happened to get interupted by the DNR foresters. Not a big deal at all to me; I was sitting in a ground blind and from the distance I heard tractor heading my way. Well they were coming right to the field I was sitting on. Waited to see if they would just pass, but no dice. tractor and pick up stop 40 yds from me and seem to take break. I picked up and headed out. I got to meet "Jim" from Faribult. He sincerely apologized for moving in on me but oh well, what do you do? We each had a few questions for eachother, chatted for a while. BUT, any how what they were up to; THey plowed a bean field and then began planting it or spreading walnuts and acorns! never have seen this practice before. Any one ever hunted over this type of thing? I know there is deer in ther area. Curious what people have seen come of this? What might it be like this late fall, next week, next year? Will this become a grass land and in many years become a forest again? If any one has noticed this before I am curious to know what to possibly expect in the future!

Sounds like they are doing a broadcast seeding for the species of trees mentioned. It is real effective on producing nice trees. I don't want to take the time to fully explain the process, but google it and you will find your answer, "Broadcast Tree Planting".

Hope this helps, as I think from what you described this is what they are doing.

A friend of mine had this done a few years ago in one of the buffer areas along the LeSeuer River as part of a CREP project. Takes awhile but it is coming in nicely now with a nice mix of small oaks and walnuts. The nuts and other tree seeds were broadcast with what appeared to be a regular bulk fertilizer spinner spreader, then disked in. No rows so it looks more like Mother Nature did it herself and is probably better from a disease & insect standpoint than the monoculture approach.

I probably didn't ask Jim all the right questions but he did say they were going to let it grow not sure how long. He also said that was the last 30 acres for the day. How many acres can they or will they let grow wild and for how long? Forever? I would assume some agriculture will be there again sooner or later. Has anyone else seen this done to some land near them? I would think it may attract some deer and other wild life to the area this season, and hopefully create habitat for a ton in the coming years. Sparce... I can't really broadcast the area, sorry way to busy down there already. I am sure you've been in the area before.

Gotchya.I have read the DNR is planting this method like dotch mentioned NATURAL,Lots better for the environment and easier on the eyes no straight rows!

If its public land and Oaks & Walnuts they live hundreds of years,I'm happy to hear of this type work by our DNR!!

Easy now.... No reason to get all agitated. I was just asking a question. I probably would have taken a closer look at a site like that if the forestry service just got done bradcasting it with acorns and wallnuts. A guy would hate to end up ticketed for it.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
