You need to go to the FSA office soon and discuss. If it was uncropped sod or pasture land and if you were already in the program they need to be notified before tearing it up, don't know what is involved if not in the program. If you only have 8 acres now and sign up, then intend to break more sod, it might present some difficulties depending on your office. Most are easy to get along with. In the early 90's I cleared out some fence rows and starting farming some idle ground which had been pastured years ago. Went to the FSA office to add the additional acres to the neighboring field and the FSA wasn't real happy I didn't tell them before proceeding.

The tentant immediately got a farm number and although we didn't initially get any payments, a history was built which bore fruit (money) in the subsequent 2002 farm bill.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
