This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Last week,several conservation and agriculture organizations, including NACD, sponsored a celebration of the anniversary. The all day celebration included events at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Congress. NACD President Lee McDaniel, along with other producers in attendance, was recognized at a luncheon at USDA and at a Congressional reception as a farmer who participates in CRP. The reception was attended by many agriculture and conservation leaders in Congress, including Senate Ag Committee Chair Pat Roberts and Senator, farmer, and CRP participant Jon Tester.
