I'm sure somewhere in all this mess, there is some alphabet soup enforcement officer with short penis syndrome just waiting to see the first tree fall so they can make their little substitute wee wee a bit longer.

Anyway, she said I would be getting a certified letter in the mail...she said all she could recall of her conversations about my land was that they were concerned about contamination of the creek and the health of the woods (apparently a soil scientist and forester were the 2 on the land). She said they were going to put limits on what I could and could not do...not sure what that means. Does the USDA have the ability to impose fines?? This is all very new to me...of course I don't want to ruin the environment...but my plans were to fence the cattle out of the creek anyway.
I do tend to agree with TB...and I have been trying to get the logger out all summer...now he is saying mid to late September. I'm sure I will have my "letter" by then. I will have to wait to see what it says.
Thanks for the comments all. Just another day dealing with "Big Brother"...are we really free????
So far I've never had to put up with any of that. Bought the adjoining property about 8 years ago and had a dozer clearing it in less than a week. Set about 10 big burn piles off at one time. A Texas HP did stop and make sure everything was under control. Fenced it, planted it and not a word out of anybody. Took 5 years to get an ag exemption on it.M-5":3cv2wuic said:If you have farmable land you have to have a Farm Number with the FSA office if your report your planting dates and crops. I also get a card from the tax collectors office asking if any changes have been made to the wetlands on my property for homestead exemption. about 10yrs I was going to enroll in crp program and the land had to show conventional row crops for 3 yrs to be eligible. when I looked at the maps of the tillable land that was the area I wanted planted didn't qualify for it. Their are ways to get around it if you have 5 acres of low land and want to use it you can create 5 more acres nearby and it will comply if I understand it correctly. Subtle changes will never be noticed much if the buffer is improved first. What gets nosy neighbors upset is the drastic change. I had a neighbor last year that threated me because I modified the drainage of a field because of flood waters. He said he was going to report me because I was contributing to his neighbor a mile away being flooded. I politely explained that after the "Authorities" came to my place I would gladly take them around to his two pond he dug without permits and how he changed the flood plain. I will spare you the details of what else I told him .
