CRP Enrollment and the Farm Bill with Brad Lubben
The Conservation Reserve Program, or CRP, has been a key part of U.S. farm policy for decades, but enrollment in the program has shifted quite a bit over time. Today, CRP looks different than it did when it first started, and its future may depend largely on what happens with the next farm bill.
In this episode, Extension agricultural policy specialist Brad Lubben breaks down how CRP enrollment has changed, what’s driving participation today, and how policy decisions in Washington could shape the program going forward.
The conversation covers the different types of CRP enrollment, how producers weigh CRP against cropping decisions, and what to watch as Congress continues work on the next farm bill.
