Cant believe this!!

Had my laterals all off to strech the main line a d this happened. Who would ever let it fly over a property line.

[RileySugarbush]

It took me a while to see what you were talking about. Nasty.

[SeanD]

Can't tell what I'm looking at.

[Bricklayer]

Pretty sure it’s the fence wire that’s grown into the tree.
I cut down a huge ash tree on my property last year and hit an old steel fence post. It was completely grown into the tree
Stopped the saw dead. Costed me a new chain

[heus]

I'm confused. People use property line trees for fence posts all the time. Maybe I'm missing something.
EDIT: I see it now. Took me awhile.

[nasion]

The deed to my property references fence lines that are long gone. The only parts that you can find? Bits of wire sticking out of the middle of old trees!

[Sugarmaker]

Confused here too? I now see the fence wire grown into the tree after someone mentioned it and i turned my lap top sideways too. But that is very common on one of my sugarbushes wher I hang 100 taps. Every tree has several runs of wire in them.

I was thinking someone spread manure or lime/ash possibly and it git on his tubing.

Actually I am certain that it is liquid cow manure.

[Ghs57]

Yeah, that's some messed up tubing for sure. Can hardly see the blue anymore.

[Bucket Head]

That's very unfortunate, and maybe suspicious. Most guys know where and about how far that stuff goes as it's being dispersed. Unless strong winds took it from the field and into the edge of the woods and the guy just wasn't aware of it's travel. Either way, might have to have a conversation with the landowner/farmer/tractor operator.

[bawplank]

Sorry havent been back on here. Yes its liquid manure spread way across the property line and and in some spots even onto the mainline. I was too mad to even talk about it. I got some bad neigbors.

[upsmapleman]

I'd say your neighbors stink.

[maple flats]

Maybe just a calm conversation with the farmer just reminding them that the fertilizer does him no good on your side of the line. Try your best not to get hyper about it.

[Robert K]

So now I am wondering, are there any benefits to manure in a sugar bush ?
I have read studies about lime with a high percentage of calcium , any thoughts on the manure ?

[DrTimPerkins]

Depends on the soil fertility and nutrition level of the trees.

[bawplank]

I did get too hyper about it, so much that I didnt go talk to them and ignored it a few days. Now I'm going to go cut it all out and fix and and forget it. Same farmer and same field killed all my grandpas fish years ago with a misa application of chemical in the spring. I still think about that way too often. My grandpa would feed his fish twice a day and then instead of feeding them be would scoop out the dead ones. It went on until they were all dead. That is why I cant believe this happened!!
