I've been trying to get a track hoe in to do some work for me for at least a month. After this past week, it is as urgent as ever! All that rain sure did mess me up. Add a beaver problem to it, and it starts to become miserable. Just better than 5.5" where I didn't need it.
I'm ready for a little sunshine and some drying action!

Would browntop millet do ok if you just broadcast it on mud flats?

I would use Jap millet on a mud flat. Jap millet is a lot more toleratent of wet conditions that browntop. Will browntop work on a mud flat? Don't know. I've never heard of anyone planting it on mud before.
Okie, where are you located? I would guess outside of MS. I'm curious to know what the price for browtop and Jap millet is if you are located outside of MS.

al,
Thanks for the reply. A group of us combine our orders here to get a volume discount. We were able to get browntop for 0.38/lb (19.00/bag) and Jap for 0.50/lb (25.00/bag) delivered to your door. It sounds like SC's prices are pretty good.
Take care.

I too had a track hoe working last week. Dug out several beaver dams and ditches. Wasted money after this rain. Going to have to go through the process to buy dynamite. Have not bought any since the restrictions and such have been put in place. Anyone know what all you have to do? Used up my last two green sticks back in the spring.

SWAG,
You will need to get a license from ATF. I was told it was about a 60 day turn around.
I was told you had to have two seperate steel boxes built to specs before they would sale you the product. The boxes are for transportation and costly. They look like they can be built by someone with welding skills.

Swag call David Rice in Greenwood. The form for the permit you can download off the puter. The turnaround is about 90 day's.
