Yep, PCP and BPI are spot on. My point was, no one made the landowner plant the trees. It was their decision. The crp was designed to remove active ag land from production to set aside so we'd have farmland in the future (but also conserve the land and benefit wildlife). And to slow urban sprawl. It was designed more for the midwest where it went into grasses. Had something to do with erodibility indexes here in the south and having to plant trees. Being in NA, i didn't realize there were differing cost share rates for long leaf than loblolly.
