Pablo...... you appear to be highly educated, so shouldn't you be able to make your points without being rude and belittling the members of oldgas.....try showing a little class.

Blange..... The only Pick program I was aware of in the PNW was called the PIK program....... Payment In Kind.... which was instead of the Government paying you in cash they gave you a certain number of bushels of the crop you raise so they could get rid of their surplus grains they had in storage.
The program they have around here to get payed for not raising any crops is the Conservation Reserve Program....... CRP.
I'm pretty sure the land had to raise crops at one time to be able to qualify for it.
Not all land qualifies for CRP.
