Default RE: What is a CRP field

CRP is also not to be confused with Mitigation Land. Mitigation is land that companies pay a
landowner to plant in trees to offset some sort of wetland use. Like Wal-Mart for a store location
would be required to purchase 25 acres of mitigation. We have both. You have to watch it
or they will plant a ton of ash. You can get them to put in a wildlife blend which helps.
Last year the idiots planted in the summer and no big surprise they are going to have to replant.[:@]
Also, even though it is done by the government, I think only one person on the crew spoke English.[8D]

Anyway, I think you are allowed to put firelanes of about 30' feet around it, but you aren't supposed
to go in their chopping it up. Like Greg/Mo said, it's good for bedding, especially when young.
