      abstract = {The Conservation Reserve Program is the largest U.S. land  retirement program. Under the CRP, landowners voluntarily  retire environmentally sensitive cropland for 10 to 15  years in exchange for an annual rental payment. Once a CRP  contract expires, land may be reenrolled. However, since  2008, the acreage enrollment cap has decreased, reducing  opportunities for reenrollment—and almost 13 million acres  have exited the program.},
