1.In dealing with costs and benefits of a government program or policy, it is quite common to be able to define the economic or dollar costs of such, but the purported benefits of a government program may involve a number of unquantifiable variables.For example, the US Department of Agriculture has a program called the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).This program pays farmers to set aside acreage to benefit water quality and wildlife habitat.You may have to do some research on the topic to address the following points.Note that information is readily available at: https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conservation-programs/index, as well as other sites.

a.How much money was spent on the program in 2015?

b.To the best of your ability, define some of the anticipated benefits of this program.

c.In your estimation, are the benefits of the program outweighing the costs?Why or why not?
