'''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.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conservation-programs/crp |title=Conservation Reserve Program |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref>

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 program]]s (in order to be eligible for [[nonrecourse loan]]s and [[deficiency payment]]s) were mandated to idle a crop-specific, nationally set portion of their [[base acreage]] during years of surplus.  The idled acreage (called the acreage conservation reserve) was devoted to a conserving use.
