Frankly I buy into the meme that we've put too much land in the CRP.. some of which WOULD/Should be PASTURE..
Since it sounds like the CRP is gonna fill up.. couldn't we develop a program to lease acres out of the CRP into pasture.. with the goal of conversion to pasture at the end of the lease.. we need to connect older landholders in the CRP with younger livestock producers..
Turn all of the CRP into a grazing program with required grazing or NO govt payments.
You would need less acres in that program (vs the current disaster known as CRP) to do more good for grain prices and it would be billions of $'s better for the economy.
