Only 20 minutes from Indianola and 45 min from WDM lies this diverse 80-acre property offering an excellent mix of habitat, recreation and income. The north half features rolling oak ridges, grassy cedar cover, and a secluded 1-acre food plot—ideal for holding whitetails. The south half...

I was just informed the rates for Decatur Co will be around $159, depending on the program. The contract I want to re-enroll is currently at 209. Ouch.

Thanks Skip!

I'd like to get crimson clover going in 2 of last years brassica plots to help get nitrogen in the ground, build soil, suppress weeds, etc. Would you guys plant the crimson soon and then terminate in late summer, to plant brassicas again this fall? OR wait, and add the crimson to my brassica...

The last several years I have seen the first ticks in Feb and the numbers obviously increase as warmer days tick by(pun intended). I've been out in the woods and grasses quite a bit this spring and have yet to see 1.

Is it a certain variety? Cost per tree?
