[QUOTE="bball, post: 1274916, member: 23752"] That's a real good question RBB. Let me try to shed some light. First, I don't receive a check from any govt agency. However, in this part of the country, if you rent ground for row crops, you better believe those fellas are heading to the usda office every year. Period. I rent to a fella who farms 2600 acres. Neighbor farms 3000. All report to the usda office. Try renting ground that is out of compliance.. won't happen. Welfare or not. Next, and more importantly for my specific purposes. I purchased some ground last few years. 45 acres was wooded. If I screw it up and do something that brings the ground out of usda compliance, I don't just ruin my potential earning income on renting ground, I screw my kids and grandkids because they wouldn't be able to sell that ground for nothing.. nobody up here wants it if it is out of compliance. No return on investment. Finally, is it worth the risk if some do gooder neighbor sticks their nose in your business, calls EPA and they decide to fine you for Lord knows what and how much. I truly wish it were as easy as 'I can do want I want, it's my land' Lord knows I do...and I guess I can to an extent, but there are very serious consequences if I break the rules...if not for me, than surely my kids down the line.
