What are the thoughts between seed grown in same regional ecotype of the planting versus seed grown out east? A few of the locals have limited inventory and I'd have to confirm where they source. Ernst out east has both CIR and Shawnee.....1/2 the price as well, but no Kanlow. I'm...
Has anyone planted Shawnee Switchgrass? Cave in Rock seems like the standard in the midwest but I recently saw some youtube videos touting Shawnee. I'm going to plant some switch this spring in North MO in an area that can be wet in the spring. Ernst recommended Shawnee over Cave in Rock for...
She mentioned something about additional points being added which must have been the cost points you mentioned. Is the $124.00 rate you reference the rate at which new contracts would be signed up for? If so your area of MO pays a lot higher than mine!
I just talked to the FSA. We have a total of 55 acres expiring of typical North MO ground that shouldn't be farmed. Options: we could add 5.5 acres (10% of our acreage) in CP43 in the general program which would add 15 points to our EBI score. I don't believe adding more than 10% increases...
We are at 173 points. Thoughts on whether this will get us in? I'd hate to offer a lower rate since we are already taking a 15% haircut on that and lost some acres due to brush creep.
Great season for me but didn't shoot a buck. Learned some new areas and reinforced the need to get off plots when the does really start getting harassed.
Most important goal for 2021 is getting neighbors on board with putting some high potential bucks on the do not kill list, especially 3...
I talked to the FSA yesterday about 60 acres we have expiring. Here is our thought. Based on the 98% acceptance rate for MO last year we are going to offer based on our current stand of WSG which qualifies for 20 EBI points for the seed mix portion of the score. The other option is the start...
I don't keep them on my phone. Buckview software from Reconyx for my laptop. I believe you can download it for free. You can tag specific bucks for tracking them and no more mouse clicking to look at every photo on a card.
