Yeah, the CREP has it's place on poor land that never should have been tilled in the first place, but to take prime land out of production just doesn't seem right. However, if the farmer got a decent price for his products more than 1 year out of ten, there wouldn't be as much incentive to put good farmland into the CREP. An awful lot of Texas ranchers have learned they can make a lot more money running hunters than they can running cattle.
