CRP Questions: yes or no

My brothers I own right at 1000 acres in Tensas Parish along the River both inside and outside the levy. We have a few bean fields we lease to a farmer across the highway from us strictly to farm soybeans. He gives us access to his 800 acres to exclusively hunt his place as well.

15 years ago he did CRP on right at 80 acres because he still hunted a little back then. His CRP has dropped acorns ok the last couple of years and my brothers and are thinking about doing it on our place. His is starting to look good.

We already have a good bit of oak flats and cotton woods but there are a 2 open fields we’re looking at that are about 45 acres each that isn’t farmed and would maybe want to try CRP.

Those of you with experience, is this a shared cost between the landowner and the program and would it even be worth it? Always here everyone screaming how great hunting CRP. We have great cover for deer on the place already and plenty of oaks and food sources the deer need. Would it be beneficial?

My younger brother is the one wanting to really try this. Any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

ETA: Haven’t been able to speak to the farmer recently due to a serious illness otherwise I would’ve spoke with him about it.
