Very southern Mn | Here county Fsa board has set CRP rates below rental rates which is good. In our area pot holes and flood areas are biggest issue. The flip side of above comments is the government controls how you drain and what improvements you can do on the land. Sometimes it is cheaper to join them than fight them on problem areas. If you can take 5 acres out on a flood- pothole area that they won’t let you drain, don’t plant, spray it, insure it, you can increase your yield and return dramatically on the rest of the farm. Here , on new signup, they are really pushing to keep flood areas in CRP which actually does help wildlife, does slow down runoff and areas that don’t raise anything anyhow or very consistently. Here there is also a push to get CRP buffer strips along lakes to keep soil out. Once it is CRP you don’t receive any other government payments on it which in some years is close to the CRP payment and still pay taxes on it. So not a get rich deal here. | |
