I don't think it was entirely based on Agriculture or farmer's needs. In some instances I know of land was purchased for hunting or other recreational purposes and the CRP program was used to subsidize the cost of carrying the land. And again we deal with what really is sustainable agriculture? Some of the land idled under CRP to prevent erosion can be productive in uses other than row cropping or small grains allowing the land to produce food and not be degraded by erosion. I am a firm believer that world hunger as we know it is an economic problem, we have the capability to feed the world, but the world doesn't have the ability to pay for enough food for everyone. One of the precepts of economics is that market forces drive markets to greater efficiencies and when governments intervene to check market forces they introduce market inefficiencies that drive prices up to reward inefficient producers. CRP being one of them.
