My CCRP is up for renewal this year and I need to decide if I want to enroll my tillable in a 10 year contract or 15 year contract. Windbreaks require a 15 year contract which if I chose a 10 year contract on my tillable would mean the contracts would expire at different dates. Rental rates...

Thanks Diesel, appreciate the good advice.

Thanks for the comment. So, you spray in the spring when the trees are starting to grow and not the fall. It looks a little pricy but usage is low. Do you have a cheap source?

Thanks Fella's. I'm familiar with Tordon but not Surmount, Surmount looks like a good possibility. Has anybody use a product cold Crossbow, looks promising. https://www.keystonepestsolutions.com/crossbow-herbicide-brush-killer-1-gallon-240

Hi Group, I am looking for a herbicide that will Kill volunteer poplar trees that are emerging in my prairie grass. Most of this is along my wooded edges. I could mow but would prefer a permanent kill rather than having to mow again in a few years. What chemical are you using that works...

Thanks, signed!

Depending on how dry your area is and your soil type should narrow your decision. I have good rain where I am at and my white spruce have done well. If you ever want Apple trees you don't want cedar trees as cedars cause cedar Apple rust which harms Apple trees.

That?s great Jim, Can you provide what they define as a Brood Strip? Is there a recommended dimension or components of a Brood Strip? I?m on pretty arid ground and might add this if it?s reasonable to do. Thanks, Jerry

What do you do for Weed control if you don't use Duall II For you guys who plant sorghum are any of you not using Duall II herbicide. I ask because if you do you need to have the Concep treated seed which is more difficult to come by. If I did not have to use a Concep treated seed there are...

I like it. I'm going to give this a try. Do you mind posting the types of sorghum you use and where do you get them? You must be using a concept treated sorghum? One thing I need to make certain is that I have enough growing days to get the forage sorghum to mature. How many pounds of actual...

I had the good fortune to get invited to a game farm this Friday and got the opportunity to chat with the owner about their food-plots. He mixes corn and sorghum and broadcasts it as he believes it makes for a much thicker food plot. Today, Saturday, I hunted my place and walked my row planted...

Looks great Jim. Can you post the scientific name of your switch grass? I'm looking for a switch grass that will work on drier soils. Thanks much Jerry

It would not surprise me they have funding left in 2018. Allot depends if they limit the acres to a percentage of total acres or if they allow land owners to enroll their entire acres. If Minnesota limits the enrollment to 10% while requiring land owners to sign new contracts for those acres I...

Hi UGUIDE, I reached out to my local FSA/NRCS office and the initial message I received from them was the Bee program was only for block plantings. An acre or two in existing CRP plantings. Do you have anything in writing regarding this program/practice? The FSA office did not seem familar...

Approaching 40%. With this wind and no rain in the forecast for the next week Its going to come off very fast this year.
