The farm I take care of is about to experience a drastic change. Logging is planned for this year and one of the most cumbersome fields I have ever seen will no longer be planted after this harvest. I know it is getting enrolled into CRP, but I don't know all the rules involved.
Can that field be planted in native grasses or does it just have to be left to whatever pops up?
If it can be planted, what grasses should I be looking for? It's mostly hilly with well drained rocky soil, but there is a couple bottom sections that don't drain well.
Also, will we be allowed under the program to plant trees? I'm thinking groups of soft mast, but a few hardwood in some of the more questionable current crop areas might be a good idea.
