'''Acreage Reduction Program (ARP)''' was an agricultural policy initiative designed to decrease agricultural surplus by paying farmers to idle a portion of their land. By reducing the supply of certain crops like wheat, corn, and cotton, ARP sought to stabilize prices, support farmer incomes during times of overproduction, and manage commodity markets. This program has transitioned into the broader Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which focuses not only on production reduction but also on conservation benefits.< | '''Acreage Reduction Program (ARP)''' was an agricultural policy initiative designed to decrease agricultural surplus by paying farmers to idle a portion of their land.
