Living on about 3 - 3.5" of rain since April here about 90 miles northeast of you, in our type of area what saves us is all the corn and bean stubble after harvest and grazing all the grass waterways and edges that come with that. always a challenge

Hi Greg. Having never been around ticks. How do you deal with them safely? What do you wear to protect yourself?

Were those bars red or green, Greg?

If you cut the saplings in the 4th quarter of the moon and in a barren sign, they won't hardly come back.

Thanks for the video! I hope you get rain soon. We should be getting rain the next 4 days so I’m off today and working on fence any spare time. We need some rain too. It’s getting dry here too.

The ticks were bad in my neck of the woods. Lemongrass/Eucalyptus repellent worked great. When it rains, I've been applying predatory nematodes to my fields. If all goes well, there will be no ticks next year. They should take care of the parasites, too. I'll be monitoring fecal egg counts.

Where you buy these nematodes sir?

I wish Greg would show the Crossbow container. They make several different products.

Is that a Stihl MSA 140? Light weight?

11:00 Greg shows his tools and describes his Crossbow and Diesel mix to treat unwanted Autumn Olive trees. 4:34 Greg mentions he stepped into a bunch of ticks. Ticks are dangerous as they have a two year three stage life cycle, and they can acquire a disease from one blood host and spread it to another. Installing Screech Owl nest boxes can check the population of small warm blooded tick hosts, such as the White-Footed forest mouse. Additionally, early Spring controlled burns can kill blood seeking ticks before Dung beetles become active.

A Guinea hen will eat 4000 ticks per day.

Love the videos Greg. These pad sizes in this video this time of year are you fluctuating the overall size of the pads going to winter?

Seems like they always change. Not every field grows the same and all. I’d be interested in hearing how his mental forage inventory calculations go. I guess it’s mostly an eye to develop, but maybe him or his guys are throwing a ring out to check once in a while or something to calculate tonnage. I know I could be doing that but it’s hard to actually get out there and do.

@@Marilou-g5t I think I’ve heard of them online or in a book, but im not familiar. After checking them out I think I’ll give one a try. I think going into fall it will helpful for me thinking about stockpile. I’ve seen the hoops at a grazing event, but real world grazing education opportunities beyond work are scarce in my area. We just got a new savory hub though which is exciting as they are a farm not an institution. I’m going up there for some ewe lambs soon. I don’t think they’ve started classes yet. The institutional spot drove their dairy farmers off and aren’t actively farming anything or teaching grazing anymore. Conferences tend to be crop, and homestead oriented. I went to one event at the old savory hub with some dairying neighbors and a regional organic flour cooperative tried to sell us grain production by bringing some successful farmers in from 5 hours away in a very different climate, who were great, but it was obviously non viable for us with our steep and wet high valley type farms, small heavy clay fields, and different weather. The food was free and great anyway. I’d love to see folks like Greg make a few stops up past New York State, but I worry there just aren’t enough of us to fill the seats and volunteer to host. Maybe Studio Hill will put us on the map and change that.

I’m watching my paddock height when we leave. Only taking about 2” off the top of the plants. This gives me my best animal performance before cold weather hits and the plants stop growing.
