Our primary goal was reducing the tax evaluation on our farm. Our evaluation under CRP is $250/acre, lower than it would be as pasture/hayfield (which Ohio sticks with the figure used for row crops). And the CRP tax rate remains even if we stop using the land for livestock production.

There is also a small stipend per acre paid out.
