[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 219723, member: 605"] My dad put some acreage into CRP in 1998. He got $25 dollars per acre, about the [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]average [/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]going rate. He received about $4,800 dollars a year. The first year he went backwards with seed cost and planting. Plus weeds came gangbusters and he had to clip. His contract stated he could hay every third year which was about keeping weed pressure down. Didn't work, the other two years the Canada Thistle and wormwood made tons of seed. The contract ended in 2008 and I've tried to convert some of it into pasture. (rough land, it should have never been broke out in the first place. Don't know what in the hell those early farmers were thinking?) Sprayed the piss out of it and killed everything good. So last year I tore up the last of it. This year it is tangy mustard or pigweed. When I finally get done eradicating all these weeds it's into going into pasture. I will spend every penny my dad made cleaning up this shit. [/QUOTE]
