Q: what does crp stand for in hunting. i hear people saying it all the time

A: CRP stands for conservation reserve program, basically the government pays you a certain amount of money per acre not to plant crops. It was originally started as a way to keep from flooding the market with food, artificially keeping food prices higher so farmers could afford to farm. The conservation aspect of the program has been a real boon to wildlife, both huntable and nonhuntable species. Recently, it has become the primary goal of the program. A lot of people refer to any field that has been allowed to become overgrown with natural cover (weeds, native grasses, etc) as CRP fields. Regardless, the cover is important for all wildlife."
