[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 83459, member: 367"] Did they have cows ? If it's what I am thinking that's CRP2 , It's set up that way . You can hay 50% of it every year after Aug 1st . Best CRP program I know of because it keeps the edges of the field from becoming a forest and keeps the weeds at bay. Without looking I can't tell you how much less the bids came in on this one but the payment was less so it's a trade off I don't have cows because I ve had to work away from my small farm all of my life because it wouldn't provide a enough income. Two of my neighbors share the 50% of the hay every year. They pay USDA $8 or so an acre. and nothing changes, I could hay it myself but I have to work off the farm to make my income so I lose out again. I'm not patting myself on the back , It's the only way I can explain that not all farms/landowners should be painted with a broad brush , Same with outdoorsmen . Working on solutions is funner than dickering about what was said in the past . Every option and opinion should be thrown out and considered whether we agree with them or not and hash it out from there. Pissing matches don't seem to solve much but there is a time and a place for everything, Just not all the time. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] On new seeded CRP2 you can't start haying 50% until the 5th year. There is a bidding process to see how cheap you will go and you have to control weeds. It's not as simple as waiting for the check at the mailbox [/QUOTE]
