Description

The Food Security Act of 1985 included a number of conservation provisions designed to reduce production and conserve soil and water resources. Many of the provisions remain in effect today, incl. 2 compliance provisions -- highly erodible land conservation (sodbuster) and wetland conservation (swampbuster). The two provisions require that in exchange for certain USDA program benefits, a producer agrees to maintain a minimum level of conservation on highly erodible land and not to convert wetlands to crop production. Contents of this report: (1) Sodbuster; Swampbuster; Sodsaver; Program Benefits; Implementation; (2) Issues for the Next Farm Bill: Crop Insur. Linkage; Erosion and Conversion Rates; Oversight. Illus. A print on demand report.
