Beasts Of Burden
Ep. 137: Invasive Nation - Stop the Blame Game
21 LUG 2024 · In this episode, I talk about a new invasive speices introduced for the good hearted intention to help the monarch butterfly, but it actually makes more harm than good! I go into the history of Canadian Thistle in the United States and Iowa. I focus on how main stream agriculture points fingers at conservationist, but in reality where did invasives come from? I wanted to focus on primarily stopping the blame game. We can get our egos hurt and get snippy back, but what good does that do? Let's work together to stop the spread! I finish with having a grand vision for one's property. Goals higher than you; higher than the ego. Literally, setting up your property better than you found it.
Ep 136: Summer Habiat Work and the Subconscience Mind
7 LUG 2024 · In this episode I start out with a terrible Adella impression. I speak about the challenges this summer with invasive work, but over coming challenges with our new addition to the Dbltree Family of Tools the Stihl FS 561 D-EM. I talk about replacing the seals on my Birchmeier Sprayer and where to get the seal kits for.
The rest of the episode I attempt to focus on talking about the subconscious mind. I have learned the hard way what you say has an effect on future outcomes. I have come across a great book called Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill author of "Think and Grow Rich{. In this alleged interview with the Devil, Napoleon unconvers how the Devil uses fear and the habit of drifting to rule over our minds and keep us confined. By thinking for yourself you can embrace freedom. I'll be honest I need to imrpove on keeping my thought process straight for I feel I was on a good rhythm in my dialouge then a random thought appears which probably did have a connection and due to trying to make a joke to make an uncomfortable topic more lighthearted I missed the point. I do apolgoize and it is an art form I need to craft. I feel I am closer, but I need more mental discipline.
At the end I attempt to explain this connection with the subconscious mind and how it's almost child like. It takes in everything and reflects who you really are. What you say leads to cause and effect and that is something I am learning to control so I can create a better outcome. I hope this might give you something to think about and lead you on your own path as I am too.
Ep. 135: Challenges of the Conservationist
5 GIU 2024 · In this episode, I reflect on a project I drilled in May for a client. I was drilling a standard native prairie mix and I was sharing the importance of getting residue off the soil so it can dry out quickly, better surface contact with herbicides, and most important part seed to soil contact for your native prairie seed. I share about summer projectcs I am burning (see what I did there) to do with growing season burns and taking out the recurring invasive species on the farm. Finally, I share about how to remove cool season grasses in an old field situations or in prairie seedings.
Ep 134: Realities of Custom Work
26 MAG 2024 · In this episode, I decided to share the frustrations of owning equipment and the rising costs of maintaining equipment. I go over the acres I have drilled over the years and how much the demand for services fluctuate and how much the government through CRP can influence that. I explain the difference for me how manageing forestry is more profitable and larger habitat impact vs driving a tractor up and down the road. I have enjoyed my time doing the custom work, but I'd rather leave the tractor parked for now and enjoy the time with family working the farm and watching my kids grow up.
Ep. 133 Tree Plantings
14 MAG 2024 · In this episode, I talk about different options for tree plantings with having the least amount of enviornmental impact for the future. I talk about having an early successional plant community in your tree planting. You may have to use some hardcore herbicides the fall prior to have the most effective cool season grass kill so you do not have to spray again or avoid the annual pre-emergent applications for 3-5 years.
Ep. 132 Turkey Season 2024 Recap
12 MAG 2024 · In this episode I give an update on the challenges of a wet spring in southeast Iowa as a habitat contractor and a farm hand. I go over my battle of Candida a viscous little fungus that ruins your gut. I also talk about the turkey season. It was not successful, however the habitat work has paid off and I learned a lot about this bird. I am obsessed and can't wait to pursuit the turkey again.
Ep. 131 Dr. Marcus Lashley
10 APR 2024 · In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Marcus Lashley. Dr. Lashley is host of Fire University is co-host of the Wild Turkey Science. Dr. Marcus is assistant Professor at the University of Florida's Department of Wildlife and Ecology. In this episode, we discussed more about fire ecology, but also discussed fire behavior and safety. Fire is one of the ultimate tools in wildlife management, but there is a time and place. Inappropriate times will lead to disaster. Let's use prescribed fire in the safest way, but also the most effective way.
