A bill to encourage the use of program crop acreage for the purpose of creating game and wildlife habitats, feeding areas, and sanctuaries by protecting farm program crop base acreage and program payment yields.

Summary

Amends the Agricultural Act of 1949 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a program to encourage the use of program crop acreage (with respect to wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, and rice) to create wildlife sanctuaries, as well as habitat and feed and storage areas for game and wildlife. Provides that when the owner or operator of a farm, upon notice to the Secretary, converts all or any portion of any program crop acreage base established for the preceding crop year to targeted game and wildlife uses, the converted land shall be counted toward any acreage reduction program with respect to preserving the program crop base acreage and program payment yield of the farm. Permits the person who converted the program crop base acreage to a permissible wildlife/game use to resume program crop production on the affected acreage upon 120 days' written notice to the Secretary.
