Question

which soil conservation measure provides government subsidies to farmers for not planting in environmentally sensitive areas, such as a wetland or riparian zone? dust bowl act conservation reserve program (crp) endangered species act

Explanation:

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture program that pays farmers to convert environmentally sensitive land into vegetative cover, like planting grasses or trees. This helps with soil conservation, water quality improvement, and wildlife habitat creation. The Dust Bowl Act was more about addressing the Dust Bowl crisis (related to soil erosion during that specific event but not the subsidy - for - not - planting - in - sensitive - areas as described). The Endangered Species Act focuses on protecting endangered species and their habitats, not specifically on the described soil conservation subsidy mechanism for farmers.
