Sheet**

**purpose**

Permanent wildlife habitat plantings are used to reduce soil erosion,
improve water quality, and create or enhance wildlife habitat by
providing food and cover.

Where Practice Applies

On fields that meet eligibility requirements for the Conservation
Reserve program (CRP) as determined by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).

**Planning Considerations**

When selecting plant species, consider the long-term objectives,
requirements for optimum wildlife habitat, and adaptability to the
climate, soils, and moisture conditions in the field being established.

CRP Policy

If 50 points were awarded for the CP4B and CP4D National Ranking Factor
N1a, at least five (5) **native** grasses and forbs, with at least 20%
of the acreage being trees and/or shrubs, will be planted. If 40 points
were awarded, at least four (4) native or introduced species grasses and
forbs, with at least 20% of the acreage being trees and/or shrubs, will
be planted. The selected grasses, forbs, legumes, trees and shrubs will
be planted in blocks or strips best suited for various wildlife species
in the area.

Selection of Seeding Rates and Species

Eligible seeding rates and species are found in the **Upland Wildlife
Habitat Management (645) Standard** of the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) electronic Field Office Technical Guide
(eFOTG). Any prepackaged mixes [must]{.underline} be approved before
seeding. Site-specific requirements are listed on the attached
Specifications Sheet.

All acreage must be planted within 12 months of contract approval to
remain in compliance. If circumstances beyond the landowner's control
prohibit the planting within the first 12 months, the local Farm Service
Agency (FSA) County Committee may approve an extension to the next
planting season.

**Grasses and Trees - Site Preparation**

Successful site preparation should begin the fall before seeding.
Existing cover must be eliminated by spraying or tilling, [however do
not use spring tillage for tree planting.]{.underline} If spraying, work
with a local consultant or Purdue Extension Specialist to determine the
best herbicide combination and apply it at the appropriate time in the
fall. Follow the manufacturer\'s label rates and guidelines when
applying herbicides. Consider using a cover crop if tillage is used in
the fall to prepare the site. Perform weed control again in the spring
prior to planting to increase the likelihood of a successful planting.

**Grasses**

**Seeding Dates:**

  ---------------------- --------------------- ---------------------------
  **Species/Mix**        **IN Seeding Dates**  **Dormant Seeding Dates\***

  Cool Season Grasses    3/1-5/15 or 8/1-9/15  12/1-3/1

  Legumes                3/1-5/15 or 8/1-9/15  12/1-3/1

  Warm Season Grasses    4/1-6/15              12/1-4/1

  Forbs                  4/1-6/15              12/1-4/1
  ---------------------- --------------------- ---------------------------

**\*** Increase seeding rates by 25% dormant seeding. Broadcasting of
warm season grasses should only be done into a prepared seedbed with
protection from erosion as a consideration.

Inoculate legume seed before seeding with the proper Rhizobia bacteria
specific for the species. Re-inoculate seed if it was pre-inoculated
more than 60 days prior to seeding.

**Lime and Fertilizer (Introduced Grasses):** Apply lime and fertilizer
according to a recent (less than four years old) soil test for
establishment of introduced grasses.  [Do not apply fertilizer at rates
recommended for forage production, which results in stands that are too
dense for good wildlife habitat.]{.underline}

**Lime and Fertilizer (Native Grasses):** Lime and fertilizer should not
be applied to native grasses at establishment unless a current soil test
shows phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are in the deficient range or the
pH is 6.1 or less. Apply only enough P and K to bring the soil test
levels to the moderate range and only apply one ton of lime per acre if
the pH is less than 6.1. Additional lime and fertilizer above these
rates will encourage weeds and greatly reduce the chance of establishing
a successful stand of native grasses. Do [not]{.underline} apply any
nitrogen (N) during establishment.

Apply all soil amendments prior to seedbed preparation or before
planting if a no-till drill is used.

**No-till Seeding:** Ensure the drill is designed to handle the seed
being planted (especially important for native grasses). Many Quail
Unlimited and Pheasants Forever chapters, as well as local Soil and
Water Conservation Districts, have native grass drills available. Set
the drill to provide an ideal planting depth of no more than ¼ inch
unless otherwise directed. Seeding native grasses deeper than ¼ inch
will lead to potential failure. Soils that are too wet or too dry can
also cause improper seed placement.

**Conventional Drill Seeding (Introduced Grasses Only):** Conventional
Drills are not suited to the light, fluffy native grass seed, but will
work well for non-native grasses and legumes. Seedbeds should be worked
to a minimum depth of three (3) inches and firmed before seeding. Grass
seed should be drilled uniformly and seeded no more than 1/2 inch deep.
Care should be taken not to bury the seed too deep.

**Broadcast Seeding:** Seed may be broadcast if completed in a uniform
manner. Pre-mixing the seed with 200 lbs. per acre of pelletized lime
and utilizing an airflow applicator is also effective. Seedbeds should
be worked to a minimum depth of three (3) inches and firmed before
seeding. The

seedbed should be culti-packed [before]{.underline} and
[after]{.underline} seeding. It is acceptable to see up to ⅓ of the seed
on the soil surface. Wind speed should be 15 m.p.h. or less when
broadcasting.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Fish and
Wildlife also has detailed information on seeding native grasses at
<http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/hunt/warmgrass.pdf>. Contact NRCS for
other seeding methods and dates.

**Weed Control During Establishment Period:** Mowing and herbicides
should be used to control unwanted vegetation [until]{.underline} a
final Status Review is issued, or for a maximum of three (3) years after
planting. Mow when competing weeds are taller than the planted
vegetation, and at a height above the planted vegetation. Grasses should
not be mowed lower than six (6) inches to ensure plant health.

**Use of Herbicides:** New herbicides have been introduced for use with
native grasses. They are very effective in controlling weeds during the
establishment year. Follow all federal, state, and local guidelines as
well as the manufacturer\'s label rates and guidelines when applying
non-selective herbicides. For additional information on herbicide
controls, contact a local consultant or Purdue Extension Specialist.

**Trees and Shrubs**

**Planting:** Plant trees according to the attached Specifications
Sheet.

**Planting Dates:** Plantings using bare-rooted stock should be
completed in the spring after the ground thaws, but no later than
June 1. Container stock may be planted between September 15 and June 1
as local soil moisture and weather conditions permit.

**Weed Control** **During Establishment Period:** For information on
herbicide controls, contact a local consultant or Purdue Extension
Specialist. [Always apply herbicides according to labeled
directions.]{.underline}

**Weed Control** **After Establishment Period:** Weed control is also
important to ensure survival and maximum growth of the trees
[after]{.underline} they are planted, use a 9 ft^2^ around each tree
should remain weed-free to maximize tree growth. For information on
herbicide controls, contact a local consultant or Purdue Extension
Specialist. [Always apply herbicides according to labeled directions.
Mowing is not recommended for weed control for trees.]{.underline}

**Operation and Maintenance**

After the Final Status Review, or a maximum of three (3) years after
planting, maintain the planting according to your CRP conservation plan.
Maintenance activities are allowed only if necessary to maintain stand
health or diversity, or to control pests that may damage the CRP cover
or adjacent lands. Noxious weeds, such as Canada thistle and
Johnsongrass, must be controlled. Additional information can be found in
the *2006 Weed Control Guide for Ohio and Indiana* - Bulletin 789,
Publication \# WS16

<http://www.btny.purdue.edu/Pubs/WS/WS-16/ProblemWeeds06.pdf>.

**Mowing for generic weed control or for cosmetic purposes is strictly
prohibited.**

Maintenance activities are [not allowed from **March 1 through July
15**]{.underline} to protect ground-nesting wildlife. If maintenance
activities are needed at times other than these, the FSA County
Committee **[must]{.underline}** approve the maintenance activity
**[prior to]{.underline}** the activity occurring. Maintenance
activities will be conducted on **[a "spot" basis only]{.underline}**.

Exclude all acres from haying and grazing year round, unless authorized.
Fences may need to be constructed and maintained to exclude livestock
throughout the entire year.

The contract area cannot be used for field roads or other uses that will
damage or destroy the cover.

**Managed Haying and Grazing**

These plantings may be used for [managed]{.underline} haying or grazing.
These activities must be performed according to NRCS Standards and
Specifications as found in the FOTG and CRP policy. The same acreage may
not be hayed or grazed more than once every three (3) years. Annual CRP
rental payments will be reduced based on the value of the forage
removed. All managed haying and grazing activities must be conducted
outside of the [primary nesting season **(April 1 to August
1)**]{.underline} and must be approved by FSA and included in the
conservation plan prior to harvesting the forage.

Mid-contract Management

All new CRP contracts must have mid-term contract management activities
scheduled that are site specific and will ensure plant diversity,
wildlife habitat, and protection of soil and water resources. Management
activities that will ensure these benefits include prescribed burning
(according to an approved burn plan), strip disking, strip spraying, and
inter-seeding of legumes. All management activities must be performed
according to NRCS Standards and Specifications as found in the FOTG and
CRP policy. Existing CRP contracts may voluntarily have the contract
modified to add Mid Contract Management activities and cost-share with
prior approval from the local FSA office.

Mid-management job sheets can be found at

[**http://www.in.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/CRP/crphomepage.html**](http://www.in.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/CRP/crphomepage.html).

**Prescribed Burning:** Where prescribed burning may be the Mid-contract
Management option, the following apply:

1.  NRCS FOTG Standard *Prescribed Burning (338),* and *Firebreak
    (*394)*,* will be followed.

2.  Firebreaks will be included in this practice, and will be
    constructed according to the specifications stated in the burn plan.

3.  See CRP Mid-Contract Management Job Sheet: *Prescribed Burning* for
    additional guidance.
