On the recordDecember 12, 2001
The Senator talked about the fact this is based on a willing relationship. But if I understand the amendment correctly, it is willing only in the sense that any landowner who wanted to participate in the new CRP acreage that is authorized under the farm bill would be required to either temporarily or permanently yield his or her water rights or could simply choose not to participate in the new acreage. The question is, Is there any way for a landowner to participate in the acreage program for the CRP that is being expanded here without being required by contract to yield up their water rights?
