Great job!. Beautiful deer.

Might go by your local nrcs office and speak with them. They can help with about all the things you mentioned or have resources to help.

The key to using a truax is getting it level. The giant spring going from tongue to frame is used to get the box level. If it has depth bands it will still plant almost an inch deep. If you have bands they cam be taken off I'd needed. They are good planters.

Covid 19 didnt slow down most nr from applying for tags. Looking at the numbers it appears the total of NR who applied was down by 115 individuals. That's not much. But it does not account for those who just purchased points and that may have impact on draw odds for years to come. 2019 total...

To be useful it may help to explain what you will use tractor to do and your expectations. Primary uses maybe mowing trails and a small food plot or it maybe on the other extreme of wanting to pull 8 row planter and a 15 ft no till drill. Much of it depends on implements you have or intend to...

I almost tried it last year. But it just didnt feel right and some folks said it was a scam. I used to live near that address and I will tell you that there is not a storefront there. It's out in the country outside Knoxville tn.

Nation wide was a 89% acceptance rate. Iowa was 97%. Missouri was 98%. Only the very lowest scores did not make the cutoff. Local offices will begin to notify producers no later than April 3.

If you made a general crp offer.. excellent chance it was accepted. Iowa has 97% acceptance of offers. That will be 267,000 acres habitat. County offices will release more information soon.

I think need to sell my truax drill...... in iowa.

Look for a truax no till drill. They make a small one that plants 5.3ft wide. It can be pulled by 40 hp 2wd tractor. Make sure you got hydraulic remotes to raise and lower drill. Those drills can be found used for 4-6k. It's not the hp that the issue...its the weight of tractor, soil type, soil...

You would have to own if for 12months prior to end of signup period. FSA is supposed to check deeds now. If your have not filed a schedule f for last 10 years...then you can get around the 1 yr ownership. Or just wait till December 2020 and sign it up. There will be a general signup each year...

The crop years were set in the farm bill regulations. Dont rule yourself out...make the fsa office tell you that your not eligible. There is a special term called "conserving use" and you may qualify even if you don't have 4 crop years from the period. Ask them to check into it specifically...

FSA has changed the rules on seed cost some. Now they will only pay 50% on seed cost. They will ask for seperate bill for seed cost. They will be monitoring seed cost more closely. Seed cost will be determined by the mixture selected.

Over 60% of the crp acres nationwide will expire in next 3 years.... there will be annual signups each year to allow offers to fill those acres each year. So it will be interesting to see how supply/demand will affect incentives and rental rates adjustments for each of those signups.

New fact sheets and updated information is being release this week and next. https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conservation-programs/conservation-reserve-program/index

There will be some major differences. Rental rates stating pretty much the same. Seed limited to 50% cost share. Gonna need bills/receipts for everything. For continuous.....Signing incentives limted to 32 % of soil rental rates. Practice incentives are very very low....so low not even worth...

CREP Is a special program between farm services agency and state agencies. Nrcs provides some of the technical planning assistance for fsa. Its actually part of crp program authority. I think most all of you questions can be answered at...

More books and more batteries....

I have one and have found it very accurate with a well tuned bow. But if the bow is not tuned....you maybe disappointed. One drawback is when you set pin for 40 yrds and deer walks in to 15....while your drawn. your have to start making some adjustments in your mind.

It will work with a good notill drill. We drill into pastures each fall with clovers and wheat. Existing cool grass will need to be short when planted as your planted seedling needs help to get up to get sunlight.
