On a side note I’ve gave up several farms in the last couple of years because of deer issues. Deer can wipe out a field of soybeans and nothing to even combine.



We piddle at small time farming and the cost in the past 4 years have more than doubled on repairs alone. I’d hate to have as money on the line every year as a real farmer. Folks don’t have a clue.


Deer will hurt your feelings. Lost about 25 acres the past 2 years from them and shot the heck out of them. They’re Ben eating the tops out of corn plants.
