Big surprise, He brought this into me today. Bowl made from tree in photo from Bollinger County. Thanks Hermann Uelsmann wish I knew more people like him

​More than just a salt block. A High performance mineral block with a digestive aid. CalseaBloc is a free access mineral supplements to combine Sodium Self-Regulation with the benefits of CalseaGrit Biotech. CalseaGrit is the best part of calcified seaweed extract from the sea, then dried and refined. It is a natural source of calcium, magnesium and trace elements. Biotech, a seaweed extract, optimizes the activity of rumen bacteria increasing nutrient uptake. Rate of consumption on all blocks is 0.15lb/hd/day, 1 block per 10 head.

Well after 17 days since planting Tyrone Forage Soybeans, Crimson Spineless Okra, Grain Sorghum are coming up nicely, not sure if I seen any sunflowers yet. But I am sure they are up. Kept the one small plots of clover and my native vegetation is at it's peak hopefully that will keep the pressure off new growth food plots.

Looks like my Arkansas Black Apple Trees, Virginia Beauty Apple Trees and Virginia Crabapple Trees are producing nicely this year.

Filling Fish Feeder 75lbs of food.
