Not really to bait but just to provide food and refuge. It doesn’t naturally reseed usually. The land management team tills the soil and plants a basic crop every year. They don’t really use an aggressive fertilizer or pest treatment program. Not going for yield. Just providing some feed and cover crop for game and keeping the field tilled so,it doesn’t go to trees.

They seemed very loosely planted, like the corn just grows, falls, and reseeds itself each year. Odd shaped with trees in the middle of some, and winding looking. Probably to lure game out and give cover for hunters?

yes. Food plots.

Probably other distributers and users as well

Herbrucks supplies all eggs for McDonalds east of the Mississipp, Cargill, Meijer.

There was another round of avian flu over the spring and summer locally (Herbrucks) that put a lot of pressure on the local and regional egg supply. This has likely finally trickled into the higher prices you are seeing now. During the peak of the production interuption prices remained low.

Penny smart are $2.69 at Meijer, up over a dollar from a few months ago. Egg shortage?

We really smoked the brakes landing here tonight. They weren’t on fire but they were really smoking. Gotta love short runways and big planes. Boeing builds really good brakes. I can’t believe how well they stop the plane.

Upon review of the googles it was New Orleans Public Belt.

I think it was New Orleans Port Railroad or something like that. That is what the blue sign at the crossing said I believe.

Sorry, I don’t know why I wouldn’t have answered ?

appreciate you at least answering this time compared to last year where you just posted that you were biking while ditching our meet

Hope you guys have a good day. You’ll have a great turnout as usual.

Probably not, it’s going to be a busy weekend.

will AARR's week of touring Michigan end in Durand on Sunday?

Beautiful morning, no aches or pains and great way to see the city.

Seems like a few key bolders are missing

Also climbed across the bolders in the river but unlike in past years couldn’t get all the way across the river today

I’m guessing around 6ish miles

Jogged in Frankenmuth to the north end, south and at Bronner’s, took a street on the east side of town from Bronners to a Park, around the park, back toward Bronner but there’s a cutoff across a wood bridge and back to Springfield Marriott.
