Considering changing some land(about 90ac) of ag crop land to CRP. This is in the Hill/Navarro county area. I want to do it for the help with erosion of the fields, the benefit of the wildlife mainly deer and of course to make a set amount of $$ to help off set cost of ranch expenses.
I know for the most part you plant it and forget it but since I’m wanting it for benefits beyond just the monetary value when can you partially shred, burn or graze it? If at all? What is the avg payment you receive for it? Do they cover the cost of working the dirt and the seed as well? I’ve looked up a few sites but seems to be some contradictory information and I would think different county extension offices handle it different.
What’s your overall pleasure or displeasure with the program from experience?
