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) pays farmers to retire environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production. This includes wetlands and riparian zones. The Dust Bowl Act was related to soil conservation during the Dust Bowl era but not specifically subsidies for not planting in such areas. The Endangered Species Act focuses on protecting endangered species, not directly on soil conservation subsidies for not planting in certain areas.

Answer:

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
