Just wanted to pass crp sign up information to everyone. Continuous sign up will open on February 12, 2026. The first batching period will end March 20th. Genetral sign up will begin March 9th and end April 17th. Contact your local FSA office for more information.

For me, it would depend on weapon, primary wind direction, and natural deer movement. If a deer will naturally move throughout the plot and come where you want them, then no need for a screen. But if not....a screen is helpful. I have a 5 acre field with a south stand. The deer come from...

At one time the crp manual specifically prohibited controlled hunts/preserves. I am pretty sure it has been removed. Leasing hunting is not prohibited per the crp manual. Hunting blinds are not specifically mentioned as prohibited. But things like parking equipment is prohibited on certain crp...

The are several basic qualifications to be eligible to enroll in CRP. One of those is based on soil, water, or wind erosion. There are places that are very flat but qualify based on wind erosion. Any of those, wind, water, or soil are determined by NRCS , not fsa. Continous practices bypass...

The truax was never designed to seed large seeds like soybeans. Will it? Yes. But the box design may crush some seeds in the rear box. But if you need to plant a couple acres, no worries. The rear box is small and will not hold alot of big seeds. Do not try spying the nwsg box. It will grind...

It depends. If your nwsg seed supplier debeards seed and cleans well... a regular drill will pass the seeds without any carrier. But if you are mixing various legumes, wildflowers, etc into the mix then it starts to complicate things. It will just depend on the species and mix ratios. Seed...

It loves fire... spot spray pasturegard for best results. It will turn it white in about 48 hours.

I good 3.5 to 4.5% dose of glyphosate should work it over. I prefer using triclopyr or msm60. But dead is dead. Stay after it. Spring applications of pasturgard work very well. Then cleanup in later summer any new sprouts. Its not the worst plant, but I would not allow it to get started, if I...

Sericea.....spray it soon. Seed will sit in seed bank a long time. Get rid of it before it becomes established or you will have it forever along with coyotes and cockroaches.

You might try this company. They are out of st. Louis area. But they travel pretty far. Combining several jobs could make it worth the travel time. https://www.airgrollc.com/

Not dreaming at all- it was and should be. But the lack of complete farmbill has caused issues with authority to accept applications. Now fsa is "batching" application reviews for consideration. New government efficiency.

If you missed the previous continuous crp sign up, you have a small window to apply right now. But you only have a week to apply before fsa will shut off the evaluation window next week.

It required more points this time. Partially due to limited number of acres available to enroll at 1.7 million. Its all about supply and demand. More acres available below the cap = likelihood of lower points being accepted. Signup #64= 202 points, #62 = 188 points, #60 = 184 points, #58 =...

That rate is much more in line with imazapic rate. 5 to 8 oz of gly wouldn't do anything. But if that is what they told you, make sure you got it in writing and go to work and cash the check.

Crp general signups pre approvals are now out. It took an Ebi score of 202 or greater to be accepted. Fsa is to notify you by July 15 and extend an offer.
