Don't be Ban ... be better than Ban!
I said there's much more to this, most every 10 year contract period eligibility & incentives were tweaked. Yes I've been on farms in IA, MN, IL, IA, MO, KS, OK, NE etc there's a difference with soil type on 0-2% slope vs 3-5% or sandy vs loam with 10mph wind vs 30 to 40 mph. There are plenty of highly erodible soils on 3-5% slope and even wind related on 0-2% slope loamy sand. Glacial soil deposits is a full semester+ course, we don't have time for that. We could also look at adoption rates in and out of CRP as well as tillage and planting technology. We are not talking about what you see out your window or read in some newspaper article but about research and facts. Don't be Ban and try to make up your own facts, I've read your stuff, you are better than that.
