A farmer’s crop acreage base is reduced by the portion of cropland placed in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), but increased by CRP base acreage leaving the CRP. Farmers have the choice of base acreage used to calculate Production Flexibility Contract payments for crop year 2002, or the average of acres planted for crop years 1998 ...
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a cost-share and rental payment program of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Under the program, the government pays farmers to take certain agriculturally used croplands out of production and convert them to vegetative cover, such as cultivated or native bunchgrasses and grasslands, wildlife and pollinators food and shelter plantings ...
In the United States, the Acreage Reduction Program (ARP) is a no-longer-authorized annual cropland retirement program for wheat, feed grains, cotton, or rice in which farmers participating in the commodity programs (in order to be eligible for nonrecourse loans and deficiency payments) were mandated to idle a crop-specific, nationally set portion of their base acreage during years of surplus.
CREP uses the state funds to offer higher payments per acre to participants than the CRP. States may enroll up to 100,000 acres (400 km 2) through an approved CREP, and at least three states have more than one CREP. USDA has reserved 4 million acres (16,000 km 2) from the authorized 39,200,000-acre (159,000 km 2) total to enroll through either ...
Since its introduction, the program has developed 270,000 management plans that consist of more than 31,000,000 acres (130,000 km 2) of private land. Stewardship plans promote forest health and development through active management while providing timber, wildlife habitat, natural watersheds, recreational opportunities and many other benefits.

Workers can rent plots of land from the owner for a certain sum and keep the whole crop. Workers work on the land and earn a fixed wage from the land owner but keep some of the crop. No money changes hands but the worker and land owner each keep a share of the crop.
IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack. Devices are designed to interact with each other over a conceptually simple wireless network.The definition of the network layers is based on the OSI model; although only the lower layers are defined in the standard, interaction with upper layers is intended, possibly using an IEEE 802.2 logical link control sublayer accessing the MAC through a convergence sublayer.
