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 - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
