[QUOTE="MarbleEyez, post: 324361, member: 1292"] CRP Program is a joke right now. In the county in which I reside, CRP contracts are less that $30/ac. That same land, taken out of CRP, would rent for $35-$45/ac. If you make your living off of Agriculture, and make decisions based solely on the business side, it's a no brainer. Best thing that could happen as far as wildlife habitat goes is to start a incentive program for the farmers/ranchers to put tree rows/habitat back in. There's a few ways that it could be done, but no matter which way you do it someone is going to be upset about it. "Farmer's get all the free stuff, etc.".... Well that's just the way it is. If you want someone to do something that they normally wouldn't do, that is going to be to your benefit or fit your agenda, that's unfortunately the way it works. Back when the CRP program was thriving, look at what the CRP payments per acre were versus what the land cash rent was. Everyone will have their answer to why is doesn't work now versus 15+ years ago. [/QUOTE]
