Future of CRP

Just bringing this back to the top. Any updates or chatter?

Would you guys be reluctant to buy a farm with a CRP contract expiring in the next year or 2, if you're hoping to re-enroll?

No updates other than we are enrolling 27ac this fall for a spring seeding. As far as reluctancy, I think it is clear that rent payments are lower than they have been previously and a buyer should not count on the historically high CRP payments. I think it will also be more difficult to become eligible than it has been in the past. We tried enrolling two farms and only one of them worked out. The one that didn't work out is very hilly but apparently the soil types were not considered highly erodible so the rent payment was ridiculous. Ironically, the one that did work out lays pretty flat and farms much better.
