In the past there have been times when farmers were paid not to farm a portion of their acreage but that was in the ancient past.

There are farmers being paid to not grow corn right now.

Where and can you point me to where that happens in the current farm bill? I know that there is a long standing conservation program that pays for farmers to take environmentally sensitive land out of production but I know of no other clause that pays any farmer not to grow anything.
