CRP is designed to stop soil erosion and enhance wildlife habitat on marginal or eligible cropland. It does this (if you follow a conservation plan) by planting grasses and in some minor cases trees. In Iowa they just approved 100,000 acres to go into the CRP program from this spring sign-up under the old farm bill. And some attractive payments will go with that.If the CRP program wasn't here there would be much more corn planted and harvested in Iowa which would lower the market price farmers receive for corn.Lower prices might be good for livestock producers but terrible for grain farmers. Nationwide there is about 30 million acres enrolled in CRP programs.This has a positive effect on the ag economy thru commodity prices, less soil erosion going into creeks and rivers like the Mississippi and some wildlife enhancements for those that want it.Storm water runoff from CRP acres is generally much cleaner and clearer than runoff from tilled cropland. Most people are in favor of cleaner water if the cost does not bust the budget.
