| Tom N - 2/12/2017 12:08 Tom Vilsack’s statement just does not set well here for guys that need to cash rent. “The Conservation Reserve Program provides nearly $2 billion annually to land owners – dollars that make their way into local economies, supporting small businesses and creating jobs.” We will see how well that works out down the road in a few years.

You don't need to wait to see what the outcome of large numbers of whole farms being enrolled in CRP is.
Just look at all of the dying/dead towns in southern IA. CRP acres don't need farmers so eventually you end up with less farmers/less people in the supporting agri business and less people in the small towns and less kids in the schools.
CRP is an economic disaster for rural America.
