[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 491108, member: 367"] It's hard to keep everyone happy , I remember catching flack when I had the farm in CRP. The opposition said your making money off us taxpayers for doing nothing AKA welfare . Farmers told me I was ruining the land. I eventually broke it up and put it back into production , then the wetland reserve program came along and the forest land qualified so I enrolled in that program incase I died young so I knew the land wouldn't be developed or cleared for farming or pastured . I'm glad I did my part , I wish more people would have. The only change I see nowadays is a lot of farmers dislike deer because they eat grain and cost them money , I always left some swaths for deer and we had deer year around, now that it's rented there is nothing but straw and dirt in the fall and the deer have started migrating to the prairie. I still think there is a chance for middle ground but it still involves farmers getting paid tax payer money (for doing nothing). Conservation is neat , This morning we watched a doe and twins walk through the yard and into the trees and the doe put them down for a nap and she came back out and walked around the yard .
