Pilot Cropland Conversion Program helps five areas convert cropland
The first year of the 1963 Pilot Cropland Conversion Program saw farmers in five studied areas convert 12 to 34 percent of their cropland to conserving uses. In four states and 11 counties, CCP land mostly shifted to pasture, trees, wildlife habitat, or recreation, with five year agreements and payments for converting land.
