Soil Defenders plan land retirement to curb farm surpluses
The Izaak Walton League proposes leasing and removing from production up to 60 million acres including 12 million in the Dust Bowl to align farm output with demand.

The plan faces congressional scrutiny as Agriculture officials list five objections.
