Post Pictures if you have them.

I bought some from scheels and they shipped to my door last week. Not tried yet.

All the applications made back early in 2021 and that were not approved....have been kicked out of fsa system and thrown out. You must go back and sign up by mid July!!! Rates can be +/- 50% of what they were earlier. But there are several new incentives to bump up rentals payments. Continuous...

Like said above...copper sulfate or copper complexes. That will help control it. But its a indicator of too high nutrients making its way into the pond. Look at filter strips to catch more nutrients field. Take advantage of CRP to install buffer.

The new and improved crp will be great for wildlife. SAFE will move back to continuous sign up. If your not located in a SAFE area....look at the HELI option. Its pretty good as well. Dont forget that both of those are continuous and maybe eligible for an extra 50% practice incentive payment...

If your have not filled a schedule f on income tax every year for last 10 years you will be considered a new or beginning farmer. Crp allows for those to bypass the one year ownership in most cases.

Hit as many as possible with emails. I sent over 30 today. They don't know or even care if your in there district. But if each one receives 100 emails...it may make a difference. Do nothing and receive what is forced upon us. Use the bcc button on your email and can send them all an email at...

So it seems this is going to go thru without a more outspoken approach. There was 10 comments on committee version. 8 against and 2 for outfitter tags..... but it still passed committee. Time to get loud if your against this bill.

Glad your buddy will be ok. That rig will get it done. Big boys dream to have one of those for a week.

Disking it this time of year is a great option to release the seed bank. I would do that before a herbicide treatment.

Congrats....

I post comment and hope others do as well. As a non resident this bill will hurt iowa. Please others share their feelings on the link above.

In case you have not heard.... the crp general sign up period has been extended past feb 12th... So you have more time to get into the office and signup.

So the ebi score that is set as cutoff for ranking is set nationally by farm service agency in Washington DC. The score is not a state decision. Its a sliding score based on amount of acres available to be re-enrolled. More acres available to re-enroll mean lower score. Less acres available mean...

Ask specifically for cp43 prairie strips, cp33 field borders. If you have streams ask about cp21 filter strips, cp22 riparian forest buffers. Keep asking. Only when you apply by completing forms can you be denied and it must be in writing. If you accept being told no at the counter without...

If its the exact same mix and rates from 10 years ago....good chance you will not get cost share again. I really don't expect that fsa will fund down to the same ebi score this time. Because there is 1.5 million acres less expiring this year. Ask about adding a few more grass and legumes to...

Here is a good resource for those who want to know more about crp basics. It was put together by Missouri quail forever. The principal still applies to all states. Looks like the video will not allow to be shown without going to YouTube. Sorry

So your ebi includes 6 factors. N1 is wildlife habitat benefits. N2 water quality benefits, N3 erosion reduction benefits, N4 enduring benefits, N5 air quality benefits, and N6 cost. You can help your score by choosing a more wildlife friendly cover in N1. The other you can affect easily is N6...

Fsa plans to offer a signup periods again next winter...subject to change. If your offer does not get in this year...it may next year or you can upgrade cover next year. I expect a high acceptance rate this year again due to lower cost share, reduced rental rates, and lots of room under the...

Fsa will handle it all for you. If fsa needs something from nrcs then fsa will coordinate that. Don't be surprised if fsa charges you a small measurement fee.
