The area near the white dot or what I refer to as "the bottleneck". Right at 2 acres and was farmed in the past but has been put into a wetlands program. There are no stipulations other than the farmer is not going to work it any longer! I can let it grow up, mow strips or make it a plot now.
Looking for ideas as to what you guys would do. The only draw back is, it is the only way I have into the timber via motorized vehicle and mostly foot traffic as there is a huge ditch bordering the timber all the way around the big field. Its actually levee'd up on the field side and is a duck hole.
Turkeys use it early season and the deer do cross it heading South.
would be the primary food source during the winter as the other spots I have for plots flood especially if the river gets out.
It does stay somewhat wet and the farmers crop there was always full of cuckleburrs and trash but not awful.
I almost want it in like CRP and mow paths for bedding but knowing its my only way in/out concerns me.
Ideas?
