But too many sportsmen sat back or worse yet supported the wildlife groups who pushed this program into something that lost it's attractiveness to farmers and ranchers. Commodity price upward swings drove decisions to break it up. Maybe markets come back.........I'm betting there were enough acres put back into production to influence a few of the "specialty" crops we raise they may not rebound so fast.- - - Updated - - - Ah Davy, not pouting, just busy notilling a crop in ground that is not blowing and waiting for a computer to get debugged. One quarter of flowers left to plant on land that was PPd last year becasue the tree rows held enough snow that it was too wet to plant. Two years in a row that we could not get a crop on that land because it was too wet. Good moisture this year, but it was a bit of as mess with all the sprayer ruts left even on the top of the hills from all the moisture. Ended up working about a 1/3 of the quarter just to get the ruts smoothed out. All the land around it that did not have tree rows was seeded last spring. None of that is blowing this spring. Indeed there was dirt blowing on a couple of fields up here that someone burned off for some reason this spring. Otherwise hunderds of thousands of acres that are just fine that are being no tilled. Wondering for the easy chair quarter backs here, how would you have dealt with three years of EXTREME excess moisture to ensure you got a crop in the ground this spring? Davy? ND Sportsman? want to weigh in? I  guess I didn;t know we would not get any snow so we did till some low areas last fall but left all our other stubble standing untilled. That gamble paid off this year, it did not the year before, the guys that worked all their ground two falls ago had a far better crop last year. Anyways, have to go open up the fabric around all the trees on 5 3/4 mile tree rows we planted a few years ago this summer..........anyone want to help?</blockquote>
