The purpose of CRP was to take some farmland out of production and therefor Raise the price of grain, evening out the lesser $$ made off of non-productive land.
You're wrong. Had nothing to do with the price of grain. The world market is deciding factor on grain prices. The CRP was a way to take the worse erroding lands and the least productive lands and plant native grasses to help control errosion from wind and water and to help protect water supplys. Had nothing to do with controlling grain prices!
I'm surprised that hunters are against the CRP program concidering what CRP has done for wildlife in so many places.
