Re: WRP Tracts

You guys with specific questions can PM me, and I will try to answer them. However, most of the people with WRP knowledge on this board have already told you to contact your local NRCS office, and that is the correct first step. The local office can elevate your questions/concerns to the appropriate ...

Re: 16ga dove loads

16 gauge shells are difficult to find just about anyplace. Van's at Pearl/Brandon is the best place in the state to my knowledge; they usually have several brands and loads available.

(601) 825-9087 you can give them a call at this number.

Re: Bull Gnats

Avon skin-so-soft bug guard towelette.....the gnats will avoid you like the plague.....keep the towelette in the foil pack in a small zip lock bag and you can use it for 2-3 days......over by the levee in Washington county those gnats are serious.

If they do reproduce, we can start making cat food. I hear they are really good for that purpose.

Re: Wetlands programs

JaMak has given you good advice. We work together and both of us deal with WRP quite a lot.

Shoot me a PM if you do not get what you need on the board here.

Re: Jap pictures

That is a good looking stand of millet. In my work I try to explain to landowners how to grow either jap millet or the natural version, barnyard grass. It is an important concept to understand that millet can stand some shallow water (1" to 3") during the growing season. Actually, you can flood it ...

Re: bread pudding recipe?

The Crystal Grill in Greenwood has pretty famous bread pudding here in the Delta. I think that Friday is the day that they have it as dessert with the lunch menu. Their version is called Carroll County bread pudding; it has a creamy sauce not a rum sauce.

Re: Tires Question

As far as mileage goes, the best I ever got from a new set of tires was 77,000 miles on a set of Goodyear Wranglers on a 2000 Z71 that were rotated every 4,000 miles. However, they had some pretty good hum to them and they slung rocks like crazy. The tire store told me I had beaten the odds by ...

Re: You might be Old School if.....

yes....you are talking about the old nitro paper wads which I have used to reload many 16 gauge shells with. They were standard equipment before plastic shot collars and cups.
