The CRP contract is a lease, and just like any other lease the buyer is stuck with the terms of the original contract to which the seller signed.
As to who gets the PAYMENT, that depends on the sales contract between the buyer and seller. Normally the buyer gets the payment, but they can assign it back to the seller. The buyer and seller need to fill out a form with FSA to assign the payment. I went through this a couple of years ago when we sold some property that had a year left on the CRP contract. The buyer gave us the last year's CRP payment to sweeten the deal.
If you have a payment assigned to you and you don't receive the payment when you expect it, follow up! In our case, the local FSA office messed up and the payment reassignments didn't get processed so the payment went to the buyer. He sent us a check when we figured out what happened.
Now in our case it was only one year's rent, and we knew and trusted the buyer. Under no circumstances would I want to have the payment reassigned back to me if I was selling property that had five years left on the CRP lease! Think about it: the buyer has zero motivation to abide by the lease. He might run cattle on the property, or break it up to plant crops. What then? You won't get your payment, and the cost of taking the buyer to court might well be more than the amount of the lost payments.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
