So they require you to plant it back to grass. Of course they don't allow you to graze or hay the grass. So the government pays you to have your land sit there and produce nothing. I know of people who got into the program early on. They bought land and put it into CRP. In ten years the CRP had paid for the land.

Started as crop reduction then they pulled an Obama changing the language to highly erodable, birds, or wetland.
