Conservation Reserve Program

[Cindy Huguley]

Here's a link to an article in today's Washington Post about the
Conservation Reserve Program. Can I get an opinion from some real
farmers out there?

The opening paragraph is as follows:

"Under pressure from farmers, livestock producers and soaring food
prices, the US Department of Agriculture is weighing a
proposal that could lead to the plowing of millions of acres of land
that had been set aside for conservation."


Thanks,
