Thank you sir. The USDA put a different spin on the email this year regarding enrollment. I don’t want to get into politics, but this years email from the USDA had a big emphasis on global warming, and CRP’s roll in helping. The only political spin on that, is that there may be more $$ available. I’ll find out next week when I meet with the USDA. Two separate programs for us, one for converting crop land, and one for converting grassland. Looks like two different application processes.
Thanks again. If it will help wildlife, keep silt out of the pond, and isn’t too much work after it’s all in, and isn’t too crazy expensive, I don’t see a downside.
I’m retired, so I do have the time to be there. I think my little tractor can handle a planter to get the seed in. Hopefully they will help or at least advise on getting soil prepped etc..

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
