CRP Public Service Announcement :60 Game Show (Game show music) Show Host: We’re here with Farmer Clara who must answer the 3 final questions correctly in order to win the grand prize. Okay Ms. Farmer, are you ready? Farmer Clara: Sure! Show Host: What program saves 325 million tons of soil each year? Farmer Clara: That would be the Conservation Reserve Program. It has a lot of practices that prevent soil erosion and stops water runoff. Show Host: You are right! Ok, question #2. By the 1930s, wildlife began to leave their homes. What was responsible for bringing them back? Farmer Clara: Ooh, wildlife, one of my favorite parts of being a farmer! Again, the Conservation Reserve Program. Land can be enrolled to increase and improve wildlife habitat. Show Host: Very good, Farmer Clara. Ok, last one; answer it right and you win! Farmer Clara: I’m ready! Show Host: Here we go. Each year, more than 700 tons of fertilizer is cleansed from drinking water due to what environmental program? Farmer Clara: Wow, this is so easy! It’s the Conservation Reserve Program. To stop soil erosion and runoff, we plant grasses and trees that keep fertilizer from seeping into our water systems. Show Host: Again you are right! Congratulations, Farmer Clara. The answer to all three questions is “The Conservation Reserve Program.” It not only benefits you, but millions of Americans each year. The Conservation Reserve Program – it’s the right answer! Farmer Clara: And – the Silver Lining!
