Quote: Northern Bobwhite Initiative requires us to plant things such as corn, sorghum, beans, etc. NO GRASSES. We have to pay money for the seed, fertilizer, tractor fuel, etc. It's alot of work and requires a rather large expense to get a small return. That's fine if y'alls is done...

Quote: Katy, I generally agree with you, but have to part company with you on your remarks concerning CRP. In the South (this ain't Kansas) most of our CRP is under the Northern Bobwhite Initiative. Many of our farms never looked like yours in Kanas to start with. That doesn't mean they were...

Quote: I never have paid taxes on feed. I'm surprised the government hasn't put a stop to helping producers Farm lobby is large and strong in this country. I never expect to be taxed on feed.

Quote: The only difference is that the "powder" was not "glued" into either pellets or crumbles shape, that is all. Content is the same. Here is what I do, and you can re-consider. Fill a bucket with the "powder" and give it a shot of water from the outdoor spigot. I give it a quick stir...

Quote: We don't pay taxes on feed from mills in our State.

I will say again, 'The answer is your local feed mill.' Forget shipping cost! Buy local!

Quote: Though it has been exceedingly dry in the midwest; our part of the South (generally speaking) had plenty of rain. Record numbers for our corn: most is coming in at 200 Bushels per acre in our county. If you want to pay less then I'd suggest going to a local mill to get your feed. I'm...
