Abstract:

The 1985 Farm Bill was passed to conserve soil buy putting eroding cropland in permanent vegetative cover, reduce surplus crop production, improve wildlife habitat, and promote forest tree planting. Farmers may elect to grow crops on their acres in exchange for payments, as part of the new conservation reserve program.
