FARM BILL: Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)

The existing CRP is still linked to commodity cropland, but has a more flexible rental cap. CRP is based on ten to 15-year contracts to set aside sensitive croplands in grass and trees. CRP targets erodible lands, filter strips and buffers for water and air quality, and wildlife benefits.
