<div>Kevin--</div> <div> </div> <div>I'm a city boy also and have never fully understood the core farm programs of the Farm Bill. When I was working in the Senate in 1996, I know they changed the system so that some farmers get crop payments even if they don't grow a crop. </div> <div> </div> <div>What I'm wondering is if you have a qualified cropping history for thosr 34.4 acres (your corn and bean numbers added together), would they be eligible for the CRP SAFE program that is just getting started in key grassland areas. That might be a nice bit of help for a portion of your restoration costs.</div> <div> </div> <div>John? Grant?
