    Debate: One Big Plot OR Screening to break plot up into Smaller segments

    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...

    2025 CRP PAYMENTS

    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...

    2025 CRP PAYMENTS

    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...

    Truax drills?

    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...

    Drilling warm season grasses?

    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...

    Help with ID what this shrub is?

    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...

    Help with ID what this shrub is?

    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.

    SE Iowa Drone for over seeding corn and beans

    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/

    Future of CRP

    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.

    Future of CRP

    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.

    Future of CRP

    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 =...

    Mid Contract CRP herbicide-what and what rate

    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.

    Future of CRP

    Many of the practices had a climate smart 20% bonus on soil rental rates. That was removed by the administration. So that will impact those practices. Also rental rates were adjusted by national ag statistics computation used by fsa. That may account for either an increase or decrease in soil...

    Future of CRP

    I would go ahead and re enroll. But I think you fsa folks are not exactly correct. Hardwoods are only allowed to be reenrolled one time (cp3) But there is an exemption for cp22. Those should be allowed to renenroll multiple times, I think. They should read the fine print a little closer. At...
