Any farmers on this site that do field edge buffers or pollinator habitat? Is it a crp or nrcs program?
Senior Member
Falls under CRP CP33 is field borders and CP42 is Pollinator Habitat. I work for Quail Forever and would be happy to put you in touch with a Farm Bill Biologist in your area!

I want to be able to sell the idea to a farmer, without hurting his bottom line or causing him headache. Lots of wild birds in the area and want to figure out a way to help both out.
Senior Member
There’s a heck of a lot of evidence to show that not planting margins or unproductive areas of fields and putting them in CP33 is actually more profitable than planting them(obviously) or leaving them fallow.
This podcast goes into depth a little more about it!

I will listen to it.
Why don't more farmers in SC do it then? There has to be downfalls.
Senior Member
Farmers (most) intend to make crops, not bush hog all summer.
Senior Member
Why would they bush hog all summer? The point is creating better quail habitat and lessening their inputs .

Because most people are afraid of CRP contracts because they are complicated, that’s where our Farm Bill Bios come in handy. Also, most farmers have the mentality that an unplanted acre is less yield thus less money in their pocket.

10-4. Would love to talk to a farmer that does it. If I go to this guy with promise of govt programs and a podcast, I will be shut down quickly.
Senior Member
Completely agree! And there’s the main issue with why most folks are apprehensive about it!

My uncle in Pamplico just got done going through this on some of his land. I belive he worked with NRCS. They paid him money to thin trees and plant "polinators and brood habitat". He said the money for thinning the trees was good but the money for planting the polinators was not much more than the cost of the seed.
Senior Member
Lessening inputs by lessening farmed acres isn’t very good math for a farmer. I’m signing up a farm I own with all class 2 soils in CRP right now. CRP pays 33% more than the farm rent, so no need to explain the need or benefits to me. Farmers don’t sign up CRP unless it benefits them, and it rarely does.
Senior Member
Where is a chart of the different soil types?
