Ag Groups Taking a Closer Look at CRP Option

Agricultural groups are digesting the news from USDA on the Conservation Reserve Program. North Dakota Grain Growers Association Executive Director Dan Wogsland acknowledges there are concerns about global food shortages. “I’m sure that was USDA’s mindset when they announced this. We need to take a closer look at the details,” says Wogsland. “If the land becomes available past the primary nesting season, I’m not sure a crop can be grown in the state of North Dakota at that point in time so we really need to take a hard look at this.”
