You personally can’t earn the income or use it, right? Income has to go to IRA until 59.5 I thought.

I kill locust 365 and it works. You don’t want to be sloppy with Tordon and get it on the ground as it can leach.

Locust are terrible about sprouting back if you don’t treat the stump. Girdling works really well on the bigger trees but need treated. Get inside the bark layer around the entire trunk and treat with chemical like Tordon RTU or Pathway (and others). I will not cut or girdle a locust without...

There should be data available as to where the NR harvests are reported as the county is required along with public or private land when you telecheck in MO. Be good info to build off of. I still think residents will continue to feel the squeeze of access with or without a draw on private land.

Agreed and the are they willing to drop the harvest also as the resident harvest has been relatively flat. Good suggestion tho!

I’d agree that public gets hit hard in MO by NR especially with the new Hunting Public push. Unfortunately I’d guess that the NR tags would have to greatly reduced from current levels for those public areas to see much relief and access is going to be a problem everywhere because of the rec...

Will MO significantly reduce the NR tags? If not a draw system will not help in the short run until NR aren’t able to draw every year or two.

I think we are saying the same thing. Unless MO decides to dramatically decrease the NR tags it will have limited if any impact and may actually be counterproductive. Especially if MO moves the gun season and starts cranking out more record book bucks. Access is a problem going forward in any...

So with your statement and the chart numbers this would just be to get ahead of a current trend but limited change to resource or hunter satisfaction from today? Makes some sense but is MODoC going to chase the boogie man? I think limiting NR tags makes sense but I also play the western game...

I would hope you would be correct as it fits my agenda and will result in more older age class deer to hunt with my bow, albeit only when I draw as NR. But for the approach of moving the gun season to be successful the buck harvest has to go down, allowing more bucks to get to older age class...

Skip, of course me being me. I like a good debate. For the most part the exact problems you sited are also sited in MO. Do the NR landowners in Iowa that own ground and only hunt every 4-6 years leave, nope. Do you think limiting NR tags in MO will fix the access issue, nope, clearly an...

I grew up in MO and continue to bow hunt there as a NR. My question to all those in favor of moving the gun season and limiting NR licenses is why? What are you trying to accomplish, bigger racks for you or better hunting for all? Moving gun season back will improve trophy’s but opportunity...

What I am saying is the trees are coming out either way and my guess the tax write off from record profits to increase productive ground is gonna happen with more of those acres going to long term crop than CRP these days. Be interesting to compare the total CRP in your counties today versus 10...

Unproductive meaning ground that currently has $0 income to the owner because of trees or fencerow or dilapidated homestead that can be cleared and earn income from. Triple digit farm profits per acre leaves cash available to pay to clean areas creating more productive acres. Didn’t say...

So with this assumption you would be suggesting that all of the poor producing soils that have been cleaned up just to farm and put into CRP which is not the case. I work in it every day and right now there is plenty of demand to farm those acres. The counties I work in have less CRP acreage...

ANOTHER unpopular comment among the farmers here I’m sure but crop insurance subsidies have promoted more soil erosion and fraud than CRP has saved in soil erosion or cost in rental payments. Countless acres farmed and ditches cleared that should not be farmed yet they can farm it for crop...

I don’t follow this and how it relates to communism? So are the commies already stealing from the residential landowners? I’m just responding to the comment of taking a tax break away and some saying it just ain’t right to have the forest exemption yet we give significant break to ag land...

THIS WILL NOT BE POPULAR But how bout we tax the ag properties like we do residential somewhat closer to market value rather than a % of a %. $500,000 house pays $6000 in taxes, $250,000 40 ag acres pays $850, less than half. Now who isn’t paying their share…..

Well I believed and agreed with you on the butt out but lost all credibility with promoting the acorn cruncher! :D
