RE: ? on stands
I hang mine after crops are planted because sometimes due to extreme weather conditions, crops may not always be rotated. In my areas I need to know what crops are where before I hang stands.
For example in one area I have 2 spots picked out for stands that the field should be planted in corn this year, but if we have another extremely wet planting season no way will corn be planted and maybe not beans as well. If beans are planted those spots are only going to be decent in early season. If the corn is planted it should be even better and for all season.
