the point I am trying to make is that it is because of the tax payers help through tax exemptions and subsidies you are where you are today. if you disagree then pay back all the subsidies you received and pay the sales tax on everything you bought the was tax exempt And then you can truly say you are at where you are at today on your own.

Get the tax laws changed. I don’t get nothing for subsidies other than crop insurance. And they should do away with that. But if you have a loan, it is required to have crop insurance. I have no problem doing away with all subsidies but I’m just a small timer.

I have been blessed with a large amount of land to cover and hunt. I have been hunting the same area for many years and got know the landowners, which lead to permission to hunt. Some in the area are dicks, but oh well. Also a guy in the are that owns A LOT of land. I went out on a limb last year and decided to call him to hunt a specific quarter of land. He told me he had his gratis tag so call him back after the first week. I called a few times but he never answered; oh well, his land. The thing that bugs me the most though is the people that have their land in PLOTS and either have their cattle in there the whole hunting season or it is mulched down to nothing.

The fish and game will put anything into Plots a mouse would starve. I guess better than nothing maybe get more or better down road

how many acres do you run? how many acres do you consider small ?

Don't you think everyone's health insurance doubled ?

Your farm is a business not much different than the construction company I own. Why are many if not most of your purchase to operate TAX EXEMPT while ALL of my purchases to operate are taxed? as a " small family farmer " you do get exemptions

to answer your questions
1. my farm is small enough i work a winter job and handed out fun instead of full size candy bars last night!

2. glad we agree on my example subsidy's aren't always good and when the gov gets involved it usually hurts the checkbook.

3. i don't want to be a politician so just follow the tax code laws. you'll have to take the tax code up with your representatives.

Have you ever used any of your construction stuff, that i'm sure you wrote off 100%, for personal use? if you say no - use the extra wood off Pinnocios nose for free and tax free lumber for your construction company! Problem solved! Have a good weekend!

it’s hard to bitch about getting more access to land in ND but you aren’t wrong here. I sometimes wonder how many animals are actually harvested on some of these plots tracts like you described. If it’s a few animals per year at best or it hardly gets hunted it’s a pretty hefty cost per animal/hunt. I do feel the GNF does a good job with plots in regards to what they have to work with. Most people arent enrolling the quarter that pumps out 190” deer yearly or always has the X feed for waterfowl. That being said it would be nice to see them focus on more “strategic” parcels. Pay more for high end stuff ot go after fields that are in traditional flight paths. I’ve had some banger hunts on a couple plots parcels by getting in the flight path on high wind days when I couldn’t get permission on an X. The big waters in ND have some pretty traditional flight paths year after year and some large traditional areas of hard to access feed fields. Get fields between and create opportunities. At least they’d get used more often than some of the plots i see now.

Also I do see they focus on strategic parcels that tie together other public acres or creates access points to bigger chunks west river it seems. So kudos to them for the thought and work they put into it.

PLOTS payments vary depending on habitat. The barren land may also be in the early years of a working agreement creating habitat with the game and fish. I brought this up a few years back at an advisory meeting when i asked why they wasted money on a dirt field.

right, there’s a lot of variables with each parcel that come into play. So i definitely understand the issues that may arise per parcel so to speak. Im just saying some of the parcels east river that are geared more for waterfowl could be looked at from more of a flight path perspective than a feed field perspective. Or at least identify major roosts and flight paths and focus on getting fields underneath the flight. Wind+cut fields=opportunity.

I guess this all makes sense. Thank you all for bringing it to light.
