It would drain into a ditch/creek. No trees dug up or anything significant.

Field windbreak in Iowa was $300-ac for 15 yrs. It will always be trees… unless I sell the land ? Just a small area .58 acres .

I had a guy ask me how much he should charge the neighbor that is asking for a 350 foot tile easement? The other option is for the neighbor to dig him a pond in exchange ? He has the equipment. Has anyone dealt with this ? Numbers, what did you charge etc..

We are seeing more bears in my area of Minnesota. I’m one hour from bear range, but they are moving down . I had 3 on trail cam last yr…MN not Missouri on Spartan cam

I think walk-in programs are good. They offer some type of liability protection . It’s suited more for pheasant/duck hunting… or large chunks out west ? If a guy has a 160 acre block of CRP in Iowa and wants to offer public walk in—I’m all for it ! As an avid hunter I’d pass on CRP if public...

No that’s not what I said. If I have to let everyone hunt on my land it defeats the purpose! That’s public land ? I could just hunt public … I own land for several reasons, letting everyone on it is not on the list . Huge liability risks, wrecks the hunting. I mean it’s CRP way off the road...

That’s been brought up many times. You’ll get a few landowners to sign up for that? But there’s issues of course … I personally would not. I think I get $5000 in CRP right now, and I’m gonna let everyone hunt my farm ?? If the CRP is a 1/2 mile off the road, how would they get to it ...

I usually do, or I put weed mat over the seedlings. In most cases.

Good so far !!

Crazy ! They have to be very wary to make it that long !

Ha ha, does a crappie survive low oxygen ? How about a bullhead or a carp … for comparison?

…Expand on this more ? No bucks second weekend, how about during Muzzy ?

I planted a few in and around our farm site for trees/color & future acorns !

This is in a zone with plenty of hunters ! I can’t believe she made it that many years… & avoiding the vehicles/predators!

An article in the Minnesota Outdoor News this week about the old doe that was harvested by a bow hunter in my area… What are the odds ? https://www.outdoornews.com/2025/04/25/doe-harvested-in-western-minnesota-aged-at-16-1%E2%81%842-how-rare-is-such-a-deer/
