Daver, it used to be exactly as you described but in talking to the agents they said they have been directed to keep a close eye on crp fields now for compliance and admitted they didn't bother in previous farm bill/crp years. They said the were being directed to do so from the highest level.

The two offices I deal with really make it seem like it is a major chore to do that and really don't have the time to do that when I ask for multiple scenarios on field I want to put in. What is a pain is the two offices I work with have been closed to visitors during covid for the majority of...

Perhaps in IA but I think it has changed considerably in NE based on conversations I've had with crp owners and nrcs employees this past year in NE. The two counties i know rather well have went after compliance full force(120 miles apart). People have received letters saying their crp isn't in...

Mike at Timber Management LLC gave me the best deal of all the places I found that sell them and I found a lot.

Is it a legal muzzle loader in your state. It was for a while in NE but no longer is. Just a head up, in case

Above ground it is very slow to rot but below ground it rots fairly quickly. I used it for posts for a welcome sign on lane adn for target shooting platform and they are slowly rotting away. They have been in the ground approx 11 years. Hedge/osage orange is what I'd call slowest to rot

I own 16 spypoints with the average price of a little over 80.00. I haven't had an issue with them yet and they have taken thousands of pics. If you own several it pays to be a club member with "250" free pics every 30 days. I bump up to 1000 pics for Oct and Nov on a few of the cameras and...

I recommend the 2 pack of spypoint micro for 150.00 for two. They just came off sale for that at academy sports/bass pro matches price. I've seen them at that price several times this past year. You get 100 free pics to your phone but the best part is it takes quality pics, day and night...

I thought some I frost seeded winter of 2020 was nothing but foxtail but let it go this spring, applied oust and a good stand showed up this summer. I'd say leave it

Yes, if one has safe as an option, one is good to go. NE don't have safe because apparently our fsa gov employees can't write up a plan for it to get accepted by feds in time. That's how the FSA explained it to me. They tell me that hopefully next year NE will have a plan written up that is...

I would put everything into continuous but there is a lot more qualifications to meet to put it into those initially. The choices I have for my farms are limited and I suspect they are for most. If one has creek bottoms or water sources those are a continuous and only so much of a farm can be...

Wi transplant, Sorry about your divorce. Hang in there. Life does get back to better but it takes time. Don't be afraid of going to counseling if you're having trouble getting out of the funk.

I made a sealed closet in my garage(2x5x6) and put an ozone machine I got off of amazon in it. I have racks and a dowel to hang/set clothes, boots, and other hunting paraphernalia on. It has worked great. Easy access before hunt and after hunt. Fresh clothes each time.

IBH83, I got the same issue on some crp acres. My county has been allowed to emergency graze and the nrcs told me to spray gly this fall for the cold season grass and then again in early spring for the survivor cold season, I'll add 24d for the rosettes at that time.

frost seeded feb/march 2020, oust April 2021

yes on triclopyr, foliar, it and diesel killed it.

first glance, I'd say maturing foxtail, it's going/went to seed. I had that occur last year to mine, mowed and mowed and still didn't stop it but this year put oust on it and the stand is a good looking field of switch.

I agree on thistles being a huge pain in the arse in crp but I haven't found a thistle that gly kills in mine. I have to nuke it with something stronger to get er done. Some of my crp is in emergency haying area so its all getting cut off and then getting a gly treatment after first hard frost...

Just passing along some info a farmer friend of mine told me this weekend. " I may want to buy my glyphosate now as his agronomist told him they didn't know if glyphosate would be available next spring" Don't know the whole story behind the reason but perhaps there may be some truth in it. I...

In a crp planting that is not a shrub/tree planting, only 5% of that crp field can be trees. The local nrcs offices I deal with watch like a hawk that I have no more than that in them. It is an ever going battle with cedars. I like them but only where I want them. They are easy enough to...
