Look for a truax no till drill. They make a small one that plants 5.3ft wide. It can be pulled by 40 hp 2wd tractor. Make sure you got hydraulic remotes to raise and lower drill. Those drills can be found used for 4-6k. It's not the hp that the issue...its the weight of tractor, soil type, soil...

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.

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.

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.

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.
