[QUOTE="gst, post: 116616, member: 373"] Dependent on area cash rents are from $50 to $120 or more. So your commitment will cover one acre of CRP. How many sportsmen are willing to fund a program like you are and how many acres would that procure? I think perhaps you might have missed fritzs point that when it is paid for by tax payers or taxes especially when tied to access becomes "subsidized" like some like to demonize. Just because it takes a bit to get land back in shape after 15 years of CRP does not mean it is not productive lands. There were far more acres enrolled in CRP than just "marginal" lands. Most CRP can not be used for hay land unless you like banging your head off the side window in the tractor. Many grass species promoted for CRP make poor pasture as well. So what is to be done with land you may need to make a living from when the CRP contract expires? Ohg by the way, there is an "expert" on here that disputes your statement that wildlife benefits were secondary.:) [/QUOTE]
