One program I am going to try to get into this fall is the filter strips along creeks. My farm has big creeks on two sides and one right trough the middle of it. With what they are paying now for filter strips it pays $17 acre a year more than the payment price on the tillable ground. I can't get it all in but every acre I put in is one I know I can make payment on the next ten years. Every acre I am not out $400 for seed, fert, and spray (this years number for corn, ain't put a pencil to next year.) The creeks need clean'n up so if I have the filter strips I can work on it in the summers.
From the talk on some of the other forums, the USDA is WAY off the mark on this crop and with every thing flat and wet across a wide strip of the country, maybe prices will jump back up but NH3 is probably not going to slip any.
Just wish I had been old enough to jump on the chicken band wagon 12 years ago when you could get money to put up 8 broiler houses with 10 free and clear acres down. While most are not paid off like they were thinking they would when they signed a 10 year note on them most have re-fied the last 5 years to get the payments down to where they are make'n a good live'n. Alot of chicken growers round here would be happy if they did just broke even on the chickens, even those that don't farm too are make'n as much or more money off sell'n the litter and composted birds, who'da thunked it.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
