MORE land owner questions.

I know it's easy to quote statute but it's harder to define the wording.

If a person has enrolled his or her acreage in the CRP or WRP programs it is no longer productive farm ground but ground that has met requirements as prior productive farm ground that was removed from production and converted into wetlands or native grasslands, and that person was or is receiving funds from the United States Department of Agriculture to not farm it.

So I guess what I am looking for is an definite answer as to whether WRP and or CRP ground owners are exempt from purchasing a State of Indiana hunting license while hunting on these types of program grounds.

My apologies. I did not intend to add to the confusion. The Indiana Statute does NOT require the land to be farmed. Your ground is farmland. The US Dept. of Agriculture pays individuals in the program to not farm the person's farmland.

If you are the owner of farmland, including farmland you are not farming, you do not need a license to hunt the farmland. You would be exempt from purchasing a State of Indiana hunting license to hunt on the grounds enrolled in these programs.
