their cropland into a conservation use are
presently penalized when the next diversion

rewarded by having a larger acreage base
for the diversion program.”

“In my community, roughly half the
farmers who got into farming with FmHA
money are now bankrupt; the other half are
struggling. In the meantime, FmHA far
