Key drivers

  • April 2026 parser-backed latest print at 26,182,019 acres
  • No direct fetched evidence for moving away from persistence
  • Large 2024-09 to 2025-09 increase widens horizon uncertainty
  • Recent monthly prints drifted down after October 2025
  • No FY2027-31 ceiling condition limits policy-specific adjustment

Resolution

source
USDA Farm Service Agency, Conservation Reserve Program Statistics, CRP Monthly Summary
expected
December 31, 2027
rule
Resolve from the first USDA FSA Conservation Reserve Program Statistics CRP Monthly Summary for September 2027, TOTAL CRP row, Acres column, reported as whole acres. Use the first print only; later corrections or revisions do not change the resolved value. The resolution date is the Thesis registered resolve-by bound 2027-12-31, not a scheduled release day. The conditional resolves only if no farm bill enacted by 2027-09-30 sets a CRP acreage ceiling for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 and current law holds; if that condition fails, mark this cell unresolved.
