[QUOTE="raider, post: 174106, member: 353"] we got bout 4 tenths in williston last night, supposed to b more coming this week, and we really need it... we tried planting a bunch of trees in an area with natural drainage to give the trees extra help... pretty much just weeds left, with the occasional cleaned off stick (deer) remaining... i'm no type of ist, and have no letters behind my name, but i don't think trying to plant new tree rows out in fields without the time and water to care for them for the first few years is gonna grow new tree rows... i think no till has returned us to the closest native prairie grasslands we have had since the land was broke... with the disease issues in the no till now though, i'm not sure that is the long term answer either... ever changing... i tell out of staters every week that complain bout the lack of trees that we in nd have cut down far less trees than the treed states they came from... the open areas were not clear cut like in the treed states, as this was native prairie... you get very far from a water source, and the trees you see were planted by people, in a time when we got enough moisture to give them a good start... i also think that the weeds have changed as well... i don't remember all the kosha, thistle, and dandelions out in the open prairie years ago either like there is now... again, ever changing...
