Folks:
This may resonate with those of you who appreciate the outdoors and hunting. A call or email to our congress and senate offices can help.
The CRP program needs support from farmers and hunters alike. Here are the numbers per the agriculture bill 4-13-16.
Funding Cut - FY2017 - 451 million
Acreage 1985- 2008 39 million authorized
Acreage cut 2014 27.5 million
Acreage cut 2015 25 million
Acreage cut 2016 24 million
CRP land provides soil conservation, sustainable agriculture and better hunting experiences for all of us.
If 14 million hunters supported the program/$32 each, it would make up the 451 million shortfall. One tank of gas.
