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.

Been trying to draw a mule deer rifle tag for over 10 years in north Dakota..... I hope its worth the wait. There are some great whitetail in that state. They dont even slow down to look at 140 class deer up there.

Look out.... here I come.

Friday math......

Update: no sip,pip, no cost share for management activities in this sign up. Crop years 2012 -2017. No cp42 authorized. Soil rental will be 90%of what rate was on Sept 2018.

From what I am getting the crop years will stay the same. Typically crop years change about every 2 farm Bill's.

UPDATE Continuous crp will begin accepting applications June 3 2019. SEE your local office for details. The heyday maybe over but at least you have some opportunities to enroll the most sensitive areas. There will also be a general sign up in December 2019. More information will be released soon.

This is typically a last option for using imazapyr. But sometimes it's the best option when dealing with fields with trees, serecia lespedeza, johnsongrass,Bermuda, etc. We are typically waiting 4 to 6 months after spraying before planting. August application typically. Planting the following...

Left side has been treated. Right side has not. This is 2 growing seasons post treatment...today. Last photo is same field last summer.

Yes.. have sprayed it over bb, Indian and switch on purpose..... All is not lost as the root systems of those native species are what helps the plant be so tuff. I actually have sprayed research plots with upwards of 70 ounces per acre of 2# formula. You used 10 ounces of 4#.....should yellow...

Nothing has been released at this point. Lots of chatter out there but it's all speculation at this point. Lots of new rules and policy to be updated before official changes are released. Interm manuals should be out by Julyish. Then things will start to roll out.

Yes..the tape works much better. 1in wide tape and if you twist it....it will flap in wind more and be easier to see.
