That more aligns with CWD than EHD if you read up on the symptoms of each. It made it to Lucas County last year, so right in the neighborhood

Yes, with the exception that the two additional $15 antlerless tags are season specific. The any sex and first antlerless are good for all seasons. They also override the regulations for counties that have gone antlered only

You must have bought through the app. The printed tag says the following "Important: valid for all seasons, if qualified. Season dates and method of take applies."

It's kind of funny because the youth tags only have the dates for the youth season on them but they are also a floating tag

Nothing to abuse, that was the intent. It's a floating tag now. I always ask for late muzzleloader for my anysex landowner tag and they couldn't find it in the computer. Instead they found the good for all season tag. Unfortunately, my first doe tag should have been the same (good for any...

I can agree with every point you shared. It would be nice though to have the Chinese market buying those beans, but those sales have not been recovered six years later while the American crop carryover continues to swell and crops stored on farms reach record levels

That's not how I remember it. I remember getting separate checks from US government to help cover losses from while waiting out the trade war. The taxpayer paid for those losses, not tariffs. "The spending surge began in mid-2018 when USDA started writing checks to farmers and ranchers to pay...

If you have cattle crap nearby, you will have midges in high numbers

Regardless of the election, interest rate drops are coming. That will weaken the dollar which improves commodity prices and it makes borrowing more accessible. I'm still waiting on the returns from Trump's trade war with China that cost American farmers huge exports of soybeans. So, maybe he...

Almost every thing (except commodities) are at an all time high, so yes lots of things will see some trimming. Oil, gold, silver makes sense right now for the quick buck crowd. Real estate does not

The correction will be sooner than five years. We are already in it, just keep an eye out for the next ISU ag survey report. It will show contraction. Then, add to it sub $4 corn and sub $10 beans which is going to send it land values into a nosedive and really screw up anyone overextended on...

Last night was the first night I noticed the midges (Polk county) and immediately thought of EHD and how this is earliest I can recall the bugs. What part of the state?

That graphic does more harm than good if they are knowingly underreporting. They should issue two graphics then, one for confirmed and one for unverified.

Shelby and Story County both heavily underreported. Family found more that the county total during Fall harvest in Shelby. I found more than the county total during spring shed season on a single public land parcel in Story County (heads had previously been removed)

Exactly! Also, if you think it's crowded now, condense the three weekends for shotgun into one weekend and there will be a spike in human casualties.

So basically, i should take up archery in your utopia.

These are winning proposals

Iowa has a voluntary program such as this. There is not a reservation system though. I think it is called IHAP. There are some good pheasant properties in story county (Ames) under the program.

The crop reserve program also serves to not oversaturate the commodity market and thus drive prices lower from oversupply. It's not simply a handout to develop hunting paradise. Ultimately, land owners are making informed decisions on their properties based on current guidelines. I'm saying it...
