Welcome to the Government junk land program. Take fair land and put it in the CRP and you will get junk land out of it. The wash outs and trees make it fun to get back into productive shape.
Farm a few miles away has been in the CRP two times. Twenty years ago I farmed the ground. The tree hugger daughter talked her mother into the CRP program. There are wash outs that are twenty feet deep in some of the low spots. The rest of the ground is six to ten inch trees that are all junk types. Then mix in a bunch of Multiflora rose bushes and you have the farm.
Mother is now in a rest home. The CRP payment is not enough to keep her going. The daughter has had the place for sale now for two years. I heard her last asking price was just $3000 per acre and still no takers. It has four years left on the current CRP contract. So it would be costly to buy it out of the contract. She is only getting $125 per acre on the ground. The next door farm is renting for $275. So the daughter's advice is cost "Mom" big money now.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
