"Under the 2018 Farm Bill, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acreage cap will gradually increase over the next five years. However, there has not yet been any new enrollment. Kansas lost approximately 50,000 CRP acres in 2019, resulting in about 1.9 million acres statewide. Hunters are unlikely to see any immediate upland bird population impacts from these acreage losses. However, with more than 500,000 acres set to expire in 2020, significant population impacts are likely if suitable habitat on CRP lands is lost."
Before all the spin, err, analysis, of the crow counts, whistle counts, brood surveys, weather, etc., there's a section about CRP. The quote above is the first few sentences. Losing 25% of our CRP lands, whether you or I can hunt on it or not, will be a disaster for all of us! I sure hope there is a general signup in the works. Right now even CCRP enrollments are limited. There are only a few practices open, and none of the ones I need.
