If anyone sees a nursery/supplier offering Shingle Oak in the future… let me know . I saw Kelly Tree Farm had them, but basically potted taller extensive trees. I’d like to add 25-50 in one area .

:oops:I think the water level in our lake jumped 4-5 inches with some steady run off. That’s on an 8000 acre lake. Imagine that volume of water !‍

We had 2.5 inches in Minnesota, I’m hearing 3 inches in Western IA!

This was a soaker in most areas! Really good for the plots & trees… how much rain did you get ?

**15 years works well with trees, if your plan is to not doze em at the end . I just plan on permanent cover for my CRP tree plans.

You cannot possibly think Trump is one of the worst Presidents ever, we just came off Biden (he never did a thing, except hide) had 9% inflation, an open border, a second Russian invasion under his watch ? Crime was terrible, and he sided with the Criminals. He could not walk or talk, ride a...

He’s not trying for equal trade , he’s trying to offset the $$ that leaves the country to China & others. Mainly China !This will fix that. We want investment in the US, at least most Americans do & that’s happening now. The amount is up to $5-6 trillion in new commitments.

That’s a nice looking plot !!

What kind of trees were in that CRP plan ? How big are they ?

No doubt EHD had taken more deer than hunters have in my area of Western Iowa !

One year of no deer hunting !! I’m on board , since I’m only buying a point … :)

There is an argument that CRP can offset government cost at times …. Example 1– 160 acres of CRP (payment is $36,000). That same property has a major drought and the crop insurance pays $110,000 on crop insurance payments . Example 2–16 acres of bottom ground in CRP (payment is $4400)…The same...

I’m going to predict we still have programs such as filter strips, wetland restoration, riparian buffers, & field windbreaks. Not just for farmers … I think they scale down the program a bit . No public use option (required) it could be optional … It might only be 5-20 acres per farm in the...

That’s very encouraging!

This could turn around fast … if walnut is not getting to where it’s supposed to go? Shortages are created … watch the next year or two .

How would you cancel a CRP contact ? I don’t see it happening. Huge legal challenges. I can’t see any RED state congressman voting for that .

I can get into grafting, but I do like to see the end results ! Cool trees… I’ll say this—the hybrid oaks grow faster than most people think !

There’s an article in the Outdoor News (Minnesota) about conservation programs . The article states Trumps budget outline has a cut to the USDA by 18%. The biggest concern was funding for the NRCS (mainly technical assistance) could be cut by $754 million. The bottom of the article states “cut...

It would drain into a ditch/creek. No trees dug up or anything significant.

Field windbreak in Iowa was $300-ac for 15 yrs. It will always be trees… unless I sell the land ? Just a small area .58 acres .
