I'm not altogether sure you are correct here.From a conservation stand point,sounds as if this program has done wonders for this place. After all,a bare plowed field,or one planted to a single crop is far less attractive to wildlife ,bio-diversity,etc as the land you described above. Just because its value as flat level stripped bare farm ground has lessened,doesnt really mean the conservation program has failed. Simply that its acheived a different goal. As a haven for wildlife and things,it may be a complete success in the middle of acres apon acres of cropland.Harvesting a deer there is exactly the same as harvesting a crop ( though it may not be the crop YOU want). And if you were completly honest,the problems that caused it to wash,etc were problems that would have plagued you all these years also when you were trying to farm it and quite possibly were residual effects of you farming it in the first place!. The idea of this program is to take marginal land,which you yourself claim it was ,and set it aside. Sounds to me as if it has succeded in this case. And to make a blanket statement that the crp program turns every bit of land into worthless crap is certainly not true. Not my place to judge ,but it sounds as if there may be more than a little hard feelings here.Lets face it,out there in nature,there are no junk trees,theres no worthless land,all grass is good as is every weed. A washout holds water for a few days supplying water to a rabbit,every bite of briars that a deer eats is one less it takes of your corn.That ALONE could actually put more money in your pocket than if you had actually farmed it,if it were marginal ground to start with. Its simply a matter of perspective.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
