The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it would expand a program that pays farmers to leave land fallow, part of a broader, government-wide effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. The new initiative will incentivize farmers to take land out of production by raising rental rates and incentive payments.
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was created in 1985 to incentivize landowners to leave some of their marginal land unplanted, a plan meant to protect the environment by reducing agricultural runoff into streams and rivers, preserving wildlife habitats, and preventing erosion. Today, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) “rents” about 21 million acres of farmland from landowners, typically for 10 years at a time—a tiny fraction of the total land farmed nationwide. In recent years, the number of acres enrolled in CRP has fallen, possibly because USDA’s rental payments have not been competitive with the open market, Chuck Abbott reported for FERN News.
The new announcement is a bid to incentivize farmers to enroll 4 million more acres of land in the program to total 25 million acres, the current program limit. “Sometimes the best solutions are right in front of you,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in a press release.

The piece is from 2021, I guess they don’t publish anymore.
But pure genius to post it now, since now we’re seeing the results of their feckless policies.
Thank you.
Ensuring further food shortages.
Utterly pathetic.
Won’t be long we will all willingly be eating bugs, synthetic meat, etc., etc.
Similar programs like this have been in place for a long time, back in 1960s my Grandfather owned a 400 acre farm in North Central Florida and when he decided to retire the government paid him plant pine trees and take the land out of production, he farmed watermelons and tobacco
All of those idiots walking up from the south pole to cross the border are in for a rude awakening. This isn’t their daddy’s America anymore. We’ll all be starving while sitting in our permanently parked cars together. Welcome to America Dummies!!!

Basically the federal government spends money to artificially inflates food prices, then the federal government spends more to help poor people buy food.
Hey! unBelieve or not, many farmers are rat voters, too! Can’t fix stupid!
I’ve never understood fedgov’s desire to plant so many pine trees. We’ve got a lot here in the Ozarks that were planted back in the 1930s. Most are in the National Forests.
Learn to farm, folks. It may soon be your only source of food.
All according to plan.
Famine ensures most people will run to their government masters for aid and comfort and the government laughs its ass off as the start mass culling them.
Wait, that would be right up the alley of the Great Reset, the brainshild of elitist unelected parasites thinking they know what’s best for us and the world. My bad.
BINGO! Referred to as “idle acres”. The program was intended to control the output of the American farmer, and hence, market prices, because they overwhelmed the marketplace with grains, livestock, etc., driving prices down! Give the American farmer free reign to produce, and PRODUCE they WILL!
And then spends more,when the morbidly obese welfare recipients that have been dining on fine tablefare like cake and sodas and bags of candy end up,in the hospital with serious long lasting health problems
So,that we can all experience e thrill of lumber shortages, massive price increases, that we can’t afford, building material caps, and a shortage of new housing, while driving through pristine gov forest preserves full of potential lumber of course.
Why do you think Bill Gates bought all that farmland. He knew this was coming. It’s good to have inside information.
Damn, I thought they were crinkle fries; I need more coffee...
Chopped and formed bug meat crinkle fries. Could be a money maker.
He just purchased a huge acreage in North Dakota.
