You're not going to get it in CRP even if you wanted to. There are no acres available in 95% of the country because acerage enrollment is capped. You'd be about 957th in line in most areas since all the geniuses were dumping CRP left and right when prices were high and now they're all crying about losing their @sses on the land that they just HAD to pull out of CRP and now can't get back in.

And besides that, as WGM says the land has to qualify, so unless all 30 acres is on a hillside next to a creek, there's about 0% chance your whole 30 qualifies.

If you're serious about this, first as suggested you'd better get a a handle on your local market.

And I'd also ask yourself are you really good enough of a farmer to go organic? A lot of guys think organic is simple, natural, and all that BS. Bullcrap. It's harder than he!!. If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I talked to a real knowledgeable producer down in New Zealand a few years back and he said the hardest thing he ever did in his life was to spend 8 years re-learning everything he knew about farming in order to go organic. He said people think it's just about NOT doing a few things. Wrong. It's about doing EVERYTHING differently and how to do that is a daily adventure in figuring it out as you go.

I laugh and laugh when I hear Organic Cowboys talk about how "hard" weed control is. No Schmidt, Sherlock. You think everybody's paying what we are for Roundup-ready seed and spraying Roundup cause we got too much money and like the smell of Roundup in the morning?
