All, considering a new Demco 60 gallon sprayer with 5gpm electric pump and 18' boom for UTV. Does anybody have any experience with these and recommend or not? Appears to be a high quality unit that is midway between the FIMCO stuff and the real high end Honda gas engine pump units.

For some reason I can no longer direct message a member. Am I missing the button or is it gone?

Madplotter, I am considering a new UTV sprayer and may be interested. Also located in SE Iowa. Do you still have this and did you figure out which model you had? I was not able to direct message you.

I asked this same question a while back and didn’t get an answer. I did go ahead and spray it but used hand wand running along each side of the tree rows trying to keep the spray off the tree leaves. I don’t think cleth would hurt the trees but didn’t want to chance it.

Having slowness problems tonight

I also have problems with the site being slow every 3rd or so time I check it. So slow that I have to forego.

Talked to local office and they were correct for my program. My continuous is in HELI and the manual clearly states "CP12 (food plots) is not an an eligible practice associated with any HELI practice". The HELI is the only reason I was eligible for the continuous rather than general.

Sent you a private message to get more information about what you know. I would like to challenge my local office since I did apply.

My FSA office told me that food plots were allowed in the General sign up but not continuous program. Yours said otherwise?

Old thread but thought a good place to start. I have a 4 row Deere 7100 planter (3-point version of the 7000). It does not currently have no-till coulters, nor are the mounting plates currently drilled for coulters. I need to drill holes and hoping I can get some pointers on easiest way to do...

I am in process of applying. There is continuous sign up but strictly HELI land but only with an erodibility index over 20 (not sure how they determine that). No food plots allowed in the continuous program now. General sign up for everything, they determine the points and price. One farm...

I did talk to NRCS office today and indeed CRP is back open but sounds like for limited time and lower rate

I am fighting canada thistles big time on my farm as well. I use a mixture of 2,4-D and gly and it does smoke them. Problem is the seedbank, I kill them off but they keep coming. Hopefully eventually I will get them all killed and seedbank will be depleted. Get them soon before they bloom...

I forget what the exact program is, but it is only eligible for watershed. Was able to do 180' each side of creek and 180' around the ponds.

We only got about $80-90/ac for our tree CRP contract, 15 years. This was a pasture (no cropping history) so wasn't eligible for traditional CRP. Not much payment, but it is something I wanted to do anyway for habitat and they paid the input costs.
