Rented a farm two years ago that had been in the CRP for twenty years. The ground was pretty good farm ground when it went in. It was terrible in lack of nutrients when it came out. It took four tons to the acre of lime. The nitrogen levels where just about in the negative range. I put more fertilizer on that ground than the continuous corn ground we have.
