Here’s Why You Should Be Growing Perennial Peanuts

December 18, 2019 By Caleb Risinger Leave a Comment

In the process of touring a landowner’s property, they mentioned that they were looking to have the property start paying its way a little bit and they had cleared and stumped a good portion of it to put a crop in. When I inquired as to what they were thinking of planting, they told me they had decided on perennial peanuts. Now I absolutely love boiled peanuts, and so I hastily dashed past the word perennial and anchored down on peanuts. Visions of great Saturday football games, memories of … [Read more...]

Cracker Cattle: Perfect for the Small Farm

October 24, 2019 By Caleb Risinger Leave a Comment

My oldest son, a friend, and I moved as fast as we dared down a sandy firebreak illuminated by only a sliver of moonlight; running late to a date with an Osceola turkey that was roosted on the edge of a cypress bay. As we moved along in the half-light, we were suddenly startled by the sound of several good-sized animals tearing through the thick saw palmetto into the darkness. As the sun rose behind us, we began to realize from the tracks and patties visible all around us that it had very likely … [Read more...]

There’s been a lot of talk on the news lately about algae. You might’ve heard about harmful algae that have led to the death of several family pets after going swimming in a local lake. Or toxic algae that has closed down some of Florida’s beaches over the summer. It’s a topic that has recently gained more attention, and with its rapid growth, it’s important to know the difference between the good and bad algae in Florida’s freshwaters.

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Leave Your Property Stranded

October 8, 2019 By Forrest During Leave a Comment

I recently sold a tract that was owned by a family that had no idea where the property was or how to find it. This wasn’t unusual, as there are many people across the country that own land and have never visited their property or have left it “stranded.” This particular family’s property was in pretty bad shape when I first came across it. There had been illegal dumping on it. You could see where other people were hunting on it like it was theirs and there was evidence of recurrent … [Read more...]

Poultry Houses: Solid Wall or Curtain?

October 3, 2019 By John Alumbaugh Leave a Comment

Ventilation and temperature management are key components in the production of healthy broiler chickens. That's why in the last several years, poultry farmers have taken steps to improve their chicken houses for better poultry production. Chicken houses have gone from including a couple of fans and drop curtains to today's setup with multiple fans, cool cells, vent doors, and curtains or solid walls. These additions have certainly improved ventilation systems and temperature management. But … [Read more...]

How Can Fire Benefit My Property?

September 19, 2019 By Caleb Risinger Leave a Comment

We walked through a sea of waist-high partridge pea and fire kissed pines, all smiles, trailing a menagerie of fine bird dogs working hard to find a covey of wild birds. As we moved along, one of our party summed up what made the place such a fabulous location for quail; “Fire equals birds; it makes all the difference!” On the site we were hunting, fire had been used continuously for decades as the primary management tool, and it produced birds year in and year out.  Areas burned within a … [Read more...]
