Sounds like a good piece of ground Remy. My land is 45 acres CRP, 2 shelter belts, 30 acre slough (no cattails, which hurts me for winter cover, not great cover in the slough) and the balance 10 acres of food plots, and the remainder is tillable ground.

Remy, how much CRP do you have? Is it mostly warm season grasses?

Just frustrated what I see going on, high land prices kick out the small family farms and going the way of corporate, which in turn has a direct impact on quality habitat.

Quick question, good farm ground in Iowa is going for what 15-20K per acre (maybe that’s low) remy3424 could tell us. What price does corn/beans need to be at to make that number work? And what about the years of drought, hail etc.,? I get there is insurance, but How long does it take to...

Part of the land inflation is the grain farmers can’t lose. With insurance and farm programs you will not see farms lost. Case in point, we here about input costs and you see 3.50 bushel corn, yet the large combines are being purchased. Don’t take this as me being not in favor of the farmer...

I thought bird numbers were down quite a bit, Hunted north of Platte. Not sure why , the spring was decent…. Perhaps last years winter got them.

Well said…

Goose, with public lands being hammered that is why you pay to hunt private ground (LOL)

Happy for you guys! Need more!

I could write a book on the migration in western Minnesota. 20 years ago it was easy to scout, find birds and shoot a limit of Mallards. My family now has a place out there with access to all the land I want and I literally have had 1 good mallard hunt in 5 years…. Granted, I can’t get out...

So true, there are less hunters but even fewer places that hold birds. Minnesota waterfowl is a perfect example. Years ago you could shoot ducks about anywhere in the state, and now the birds are condensed in a few areas. Hunting pressure is just congregated now. It all comes down to quality...

The ground is located in South Dakota. The trees are cedar trees and provide great winter cover. I have some ideas on food plots for next year, so should be set. Thanks!

Food plots are next to trees , sloughs and CRP. Food plots are definitely for the birds to get through winter but I hunt them as well.

Milo is all we typically plant for our food plots, but this years stand is to clean and like others have said it’s a runway for birds. If it’s to clean they go in there to eat and don’t spend a lot of time in there. Drilling may be the best. The years it’s been dirty it has been a magnet for...

Thanks, I like the idea of going at 90 degrees. What is the name of seed you plant and how tall does it get? Thanks! With the drought in my area the last 2 years that probably has not helped.

I’m curious what everyone does for food plots. Which seed is best and how tall does it get? Problem I have is mine are too clean and does not hold birds. How many times do you spray for weeds?

Why do you guys even try to rationalize the opinion of Goose. He has one clear motive and that is to stir the pot…. Every year we have this discussion and he speaks of Hamms beer, blah, blah, blah…. The facts are simple, if the farmer is not getting paid for habitat there will be no birds. I...

Goose, you are just hanging around to spew your negativity. I hope this is all just a joke to you and you just like getting a rise out of people. You really add nothing of value to this board. I guess I’m giving you what you want in responding to you. This is the last one. Bye.

Goose, guy shoots his limit and that means he must pay to hunt? Got it…
