I am currently getting $173/ acre on my CRP (MO is usually 20-30% less than IA depending on county). The guy at FSA said they usually pay around 2-3 of general crp contract. Though he did admit he has never enrolled a tree crp....

I may be getting ahead of myself, but I am very interested in putting 20-40 acres of my farm into CRP reforestation tree program when my current contract comes up in 2032. Do any of you have any experience with this? Obvious goal would be to increase cover on the farm while still having payment...

I did several skull mounts with some of my last few "mature terds" and really like the look of them. I almost considered doing last years buck as just a euro.

For the price they are hard to beat

Planted couple 3-4 weeks ago. Most of them have popped like this one, others are swelled and close.

Buccaneer is one that's pretty widely available also.

I was just thinking of tubing them for a season or two just because the tubes were easier until they got going. Tell me if I'm being lazy and just need to cage the little devils.

I have plantede about 30 pitch loblolli, white pine and norway spruce around the yard. They are anywhere from 10-18" tall. Ive weed barrier-ed and mulched them, should I go ahead and tube them like I would an oak or chestnut seedling? or go ahead and put small cages on the dang things???? Im...

Very good success rate on cedars. Last year the 2-3' trees I transplanted 2 years ago (2nd growing season) grew 2' with the wet spring we had.

Resident harvest is flat due to decrease in accessibility to quality hunting experience for average guy. They would reduce if there wasnt a LA, MI, MN or SC license plate at every parking lot. I know MANY residents of mo have greatly reduced how much they hunt or quit altogether due to loss of...

No doubt A large % of the few mature bucks that do exist are junkers

I agree MO needs units badly for its diverse terrain.

NR truck plates are by far the majority of people hunting MO public areas. Trust me its already a problem. Leases by 10-12 guys from LA or MI on 200 acres (or even less) is happening at an alarming rate as well. MDC will have more harvests (does) if more residents are not run out of the public...

I think people that have been coming forever will still wait, BUT I'd be willing to bet they dont cut the NR # of tags down much from what they were selling otc.

valid side note
