Sure the hedgerows will come back..... after the government pays them to do it! That's why hedgerows were installed. Not only pay them to install, last time we had an army of paid installers, CPA, NRA, etc. That's how rural America has roads, bridges, electricity. The farmer didn't pay for it, the rest of us taxpayers did. Private corporations didn't do it, it was not cost effective, that's why the farmers have internet now, the government pays the providers to supply it to low density subscribers, you pay for on every cable bill, mobile phone bill, called a communication tax, to the fed's.

Its guys like you with the attitude you have, that's the reason a lot of us freeloading farmers won't let people we don't know hunt. I would hate to let you set foot on my property.
I don't know why you assume me comments are to you personally? I don't know who you are or what you do. Maybe your the John Muir of farmers, or maybe your the Hefty Brothers Kissin' cousin. Any theory that anybody here suggests that doesn't fit a crown over American agriculture is an affront to you personally. I will suggest that you probably don't let anybody hunt except your friends, the governor, or somebody to hunt the nuisance deer. I say these thinks to my farmer friends, I have a lot, believe or not. I doubt I will need to get permission from you, between what I own, and farm, and my farmer friends. Who feel the same way I do.

I can see a lot more wet spots going unplanted or other marginal ground. Right know the reward is worth the risk. I can afford to get a lower yield on this ground because prices are high. Tighten the margins and you will see a lot more cattails.
Or pole-axe crop insurance. That will suffice!

I like how you always put the best construct on things
We are a pole-axe everything, society, health insurance, vote on half of the agricultural bill, pole-axe the food stamp programs or other "social relief programs". These were in the farm bill since the thirties, a lot of the "social welfare" programs in the 1930's were for farm families, to keep them on the ground. So why not crop insurance? at least let the free market set the price, and the producer pays the full cost? I suspect that would suspend a lot of conversion to row crop.

We might find some agreement here.

No we won't see more cattails, when many, many of those wet spots were dry in the last year or so. They been burned, tiled and this spring planted. They won't even be wet again. Unless we rip up the tile.
See I always new you were conflicted and a closet tree hugger! :cheers:

You can't legally tile a wetlands, in SD any way. Many tried to burn and till and plant this spring but everyone in my neck of the woods has cattails again.
Now, Now, we can't belief everything put in print from the jaded press..... only "Today's Progressive Farmer", is gospel! :coolpics::thumbsup:
