Hayseed Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I saw a sign today advertising deer corn for $7.50 for 50lb bag. Quit feeding deer GMO corn! :) I'm trying it your way this year harrier. Got out two 1/2 acre plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five0pd310 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There are no non-GMO foods. Man has been tinkering with his food since the beginning of time. Everything we have done to make tomatoes redder, apples sweeter, and bananas bigger has all been because of genetic manipulation. If you spend more for "non-GMO", you are being robbed. If it grows in a garden today, it has been being modified genetically for centuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberhammer Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Find your local grain store and fill up a 55 gallon barrel of corn for $30. It has trash in it, so you have to sift it out before you dump it in the feeder or it'll clog up the spinner, but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five0pd310 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Splicing a limb from one fruit tree into the trunk of a different one is an example of species crossing. What does it hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETIREDFAN1 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Splicing a limb from one fruit tree into the trunk of a different one is an example of species crossing. What does it hurt? THAT is natural....what Monsanto does is NOT natural......and looking at the prices above for deer corn, the good people of Colmesneil AND Saratoga are getting ripped off..... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RETIREDFAN1 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Growing an apple on an orange tree is natural? It's more natural splicing limbs outside on actual trees than altering DNA in a lab....why do you think all the bees are going extinct??? The GMO insect resistant plants.....when the bees go, the food chain goes, then we have no choice BUT to spend our $$$$ making Monsanto and their masters richer and more powerful....they know exactly what they are doing........

KirtFalcon Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I planted a couple of dozen Dunstan Chestnut seedlings I grew from nuts this spring. They averaged about a foot tall and most of the survived the summer. The bugs were really bad eating on the leaves and I sprinkled them with Sevin dust a few times, I am going to order some more nuts and try and get around 50 more seedlings to plant next spring. According to an article I read they are suppose to start producing nuts in about five years and they are suppose to be great for deer plots. Realtree has a nursery growing them and I think they sell the small trees for about $35 dollars apiece. I bought a 2lb bag of the chestnuts for I believe around $30.

Five0pd310 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I like my GMOs. Plumper, juicer, easier to grow, tastier, etc. I'm all about better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayseed Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What did you seed? I'm in the process of fertilizing and seeding with rye and clover on two acres but mostly as soil amendments for grass. I'll probably just go with the Crimson Clover since it is what has grown on my place for a long time. I know there are better choices for deer forage. This year I'll rely on deer passing through my place in route to and from a neighbor's plots. :) Two 10# bags of throw n grow and a 40# bag of something I bought at the Tractor store has winter wheat, rye grass, brassicas and pea seed. I brush hogged the plots three times each, a week apart and then drug a harr we made out of angle-iron and railroad spikes when we were in ag back in the '70's. Regrettably this was the 'ol harr's final deployment. ( RIP harr 1974-2014) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five0pd310 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Brooksire's is $7.99, I think, and and with your "Thank You" card every 10th bag is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five0pd310 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 LOL, do you have a list of those Plumper, juicer, easier to grow, tastier, etc. ? Very few fresh fruits and vegetables for sale in the U.S. are genetically modified. Novel products such as seedless watermelons are NOT genetically modified. http://www.nongmoshoppingguide.com/brands/fruits-and-vegetables.html Top 7 Genetically Modified Crops http://www.huffingtonpost.com/margie-kelly/genetically-modified-food_b_2039455.html It would be something wouldn't it if franken-science stabbed a large water melon gene with that of a pig. We could ice the melon down and eat or stick it and cook it rotisserie style. Can we put an apple in its mouth? Could we GM the apple into place?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
