Here in the great state of Kansas, we have, currently, 3,100,681.5 acres enrolled in the CRP program. We stand to lose per the existing contract schedule, 1.7 MILLION acres over the next 4 years. No one can convince me that LOL in tennis shoes, greed, thumbprints, not withstanding that that is a good thing.1.7 MILLION acres of habitat loss , can you imagine? Here in Cheyenne County we have 46,161.4 acres enrolled. I have 5 quarters in the program, for which I get paid about 33.00 bucks per acre.Its going to stay in the program, as long as I am allowed to leave it there. Damning organizations like Pheasants Forever and Quail unlimited? Dont forget to add Ducks Unlimited, why those fools, as we speak, are finalizing plans, in the western part of the County, to convert some perfectly good pasture into a wetlands! How dumb is that? We also have in Cheyenne County 20,995 acres of PUBLIC, not GOVERNMENT owned Walk In Hunting. Most of which holds good bird populations, as a bunch of the regulars on this forum can attest. You see, We like hunters, we like wildlife, we have noxious weed inspectors. Thank God there arent very many people like the former lobbyist. No one out here out here would stand still for enforced access on our priviate ground, in most cases its given freely...
