[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1492875, member: 27490"] Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is another program initiated by a Republican President and a Republican congress. It originated in 1985, during the Reagan administration. Further evidence that both parties embrace the "welfare" culture that so many love to hate. It is the largest private-lands conservation program in the United States. Participation is voluntary. There is USDA evidence that it has improved water quality, reduced soil erosion, and increased habitat for endangered and threatened species. As Littletom stated, there are rich folks who never farmed a day in their life who have taken advantage of the program by buying farms, captivating marginal crop land and then enrolling. Despite the benefits cited by USDA, some environmental groups have advocated that the program does as much harm as it does good. From USDA website: [b]Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a land conservation program administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). In exchange for a yearly rental payment, farmers enrolled in the program agree to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve environmental health and quality. Contracts for land enrolled in CRP are 10-15 years in length. The long-term goal of the program is to re-establish valuable land cover to help improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and reduce loss of wildlife habitat [/b] [/QUOTE]
