the idea of paying someone NOT to plant is utterly ridiculous,it wont and never has happened.why would the us gov for instance pay you to not plant a crop such as wheat,corn,etc? every single bushel not used domestiacly is exported,and is a huge portion of the nations economy. where this idea comes from is mostly the crp program that there is so much misinformation about. crp is not in its real intent a effort to reduce production.its a effort to simply conserve the soil for future use. folks have all kinds of ideas about it that are simply not true.one is that it has to be farm land or its only paid to farmers.it doesnt have to be, and it never was just paid to farmers.a whole lot (and possibly the majority) of it is paid to absentee landowners,who have never,and never will farm.some folks do take land out of production,and put it into crp. but most of this is land that would have been taken out anyway and left bare, and lots of folks regret putting it into crp later because crop prices rise to a point its more profitable to farm that land again. i strongly urge you to ,if you really want the proper facts,to stop by your local fsa/ag extension office ,and get the real skinny on these programs.most are not one bit better or worse than what folks make them.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
