Respond to Ukraine invasion with emergency crops on conservation reserve, says economist (Successful Farming) 

March 04, 2022


Successful Farming published an article that states that if the Biden administration wants to boost U.S. grain production in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it should open the 22-million-acre Conservation Reserve for crop production this year. Joseph Glauber, a senior research fellow said that the practicalities of restoring idled land to production with the planting season on the horizon could limit farmer response to a one-year opportunity. “It is about the only policy lever one could think of using. I’m not sure how much land you’re actually going to get.”
