Rates for the December signup will be based on the same rents seen in this sign up but rent x .85 for a general signup. Heard today that Mid contract management in the future contracts will have zero cost share so practices like burning will be 100%cost to the landowner.

I don’t think the lower rates dropped away in some cases they went up. I enrolled a farm in 2017 Appanoose Co planted in 2018 was a pheasant/quail planting went in at 143.00 but it was just the rough ground kept as much crop as possible. The Rental rate actually went up slightly but at 85% came...

In my above post # 133 after rechecking, that is the rate before the reduction to the 85% in a general it is 90%in a continuous. So bottom line the rate that was 256 went to 148 but would enroll at 125.80 for a General sign up and 133.20 in a continuous. This is Monroe county I have looked at...

That depends on what your sprayer is set for 15 gallons an acre is pretty standard but some things like liberty take 20 plus. 10 gallons is pretty low rate and only used for certain uses.

Have a good friend that owns and manages a large farm in Mississippi River Delta in the state of Mississippi. This farm Floods to the level that not one acre of the 1000 plus acres is above water most can be 10-15 feet deep. The closest high ground is 5 miles away these floods can last 2-3...

Hard to believe but a good crop would be really bad for the Ag economy. The market needs a reduction in supply,latest estimates are 5 million prevent plant corn acres. Not much reason to switch those to bean acres with beans in the mid 7 range.

Using ISU county average rental rates won’t be close as crp is based on the 3 predominant soils in the fields being offered. Some of the lower quality soil rates went up and the real high ones went wAy down. One thing to be careful of is in continuous signup like buffers it often takes the best...

The rates will be down some from what was seen in the previous signups in the past 2 years it. If you compare the rates to what people got on enrollment 2015,2016and 2017 these could be as low as half of those rates on the best high value soil. I am most familiar with south central Iowa...

The crop years definitely moved ahead https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conservation-programs/conservation-reserve-program/crp-continuous-enrollment/index

Yesterday near albia

Most county’s here wouldn’t allow a new parcel to be created with out access. If there is a past history of crossing your land to acesss that area then maybe. I would be proactive and record a statement stating there is no easement currently and will not be granted in the future. This should...

If the majority of your sale is Soft Maple you have about 30-45 days to get it cut. Absolutely needs to be cut before the sap returns and sold and moved pretty quick. Very tough year for sure for the guys in the woods.

Also remember you are on the road system so good fishing spots will have a lot of people. If you decide to fish on your own with out a guide go to either Ship Creek right in Anchorage and just watch from the bridge. By observing from above you. Can see what works and whAt doesn’t. The Lagoon in...

You will have a great time no matter what you do. If you have your dates set then you are committed to the fishing at that time. The saltwater fishing is pretty simple and doesn’t change greatly through out the summer. What does change is the tides. That area which a lot of it is in Cook Inlet...

I have been checking the shed buck Total on the DNR site up to 345 as of this am not sure how that compares to Other years but seems high to Me

Not sure if others are seeing the same thing but there is a unusually high number of bucks shed in some areas of Appanoose, Monroe and lucas county’s where I hunt. Have seen a few other killed 2nd gun who’s antlers fell off soon after harvest. Not sure as to why but in 25 years of being in the...

If they are average trees and easy to get a 17-19 inch tree in southern Iowa has 125-150 board feet on average so 250-300 per tree would be about right to the landowner. We finished our last sale 11/15 and they were panicked to get them out ahead of some tariff dead line on 11/30 it who knows...

My deal was quite different bought my first farm by working remote guiding jobs in Alaska would be gone for 3-5 months come back and use the money for a down payment. Owned 2 farms before I owned a house. Let those farms appreciate then sold though a 1031 exachange and bought others. As to...

That is very cool good thinking and way to be a respectful tenant.

Still won’t be a cheap hunt Wyoming is guide required in the wilderness areas which I would assume is where the Bears would be most common. Would be cool if you could just draw the tag and go.
