That’s a nice looking plot !!

What kind of trees were in that CRP plan ? How big are they ?

No doubt EHD had taken more deer than hunters have in my area of Western Iowa !

One year of no deer hunting !! I’m on board , since I’m only buying a point … :)

There is an argument that CRP can offset government cost at times …. Example 1– 160 acres of CRP (payment is $36,000). That same property has a major drought and the crop insurance pays $110,000 on crop insurance payments . Example 2–16 acres of bottom ground in CRP (payment is $4400)…The same...

I’m going to predict we still have programs such as filter strips, wetland restoration, riparian buffers, & field windbreaks. Not just for farmers … I think they scale down the program a bit . No public use option (required) it could be optional … It might only be 5-20 acres per farm in the...

That’s very encouraging!

This could turn around fast … if walnut is not getting to where it’s supposed to go? Shortages are created … watch the next year or two .

How would you cancel a CRP contact ? I don’t see it happening. Huge legal challenges. I can’t see any RED state congressman voting for that .

I can get into grafting, but I do like to see the end results ! Cool trees… I’ll say this—the hybrid oaks grow faster than most people think !

There’s an article in the Outdoor News (Minnesota) about conservation programs . The article states Trumps budget outline has a cut to the USDA by 18%. The biggest concern was funding for the NRCS (mainly technical assistance) could be cut by $754 million. The bottom of the article states “cut...

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 !!
