How much would that CRP ground sell for if there was NO CRP payment coming with it?    

Then it would actually sell for what its income generating capacity was worth, probably grazing ground for a lot of it correct?

Would it still stay in bird habitat without CRP money?      Some probably, probably not for a lot of it.

If there was NO CRP you'd find out how serious hunting $'s really were.

If cattle guys had the US govt paying their land cost and still got to graze the ground, stock cows would be big time profitable also.

I look at hunting as a HIGHLY subsidized industry for the few people that participate and it doesn't create wealth, its merely a transfer of wealth via services.
