Here in my part of Minnesota they strongly encourage no mowing or burning if it can be helped - they _want_ the tree saplings to grow & establish, so it does not go back into ag production. No fertilization either, runoff into the wetlands don't you know. Only a very narrow assortment of expensive native seeds may be planted. And weeds should be controlled - but hopefully not by mowing. No haying unless an emergency is declared (which messes up the hay growing people, knocks off their high prices they used to get....) and then you refund the money you got if you harvest it. It's volinteer, nice option, don't mean to badmouth it, but the idea is to return marginal land to native stuff. Has lots of strings attached, it is not like the old set-aside ag programs. Purely for natural habitat type stuff, not a real 'farm' program. --->Paul
