I didn't see the second piece. This is all very interesting and
newsworthy. I wonder what internal politics are at work. The reversal
looks imminently exploitable.

Emphasis mine.

Farm Bureau reverses on conservation

The Iowa Farm Bureau's policy conference reversed itself Wednesday
morning. After lengthy debate and a multitude of motions, the group
approved a resolution stating that compliance with conservation programs
not be a condition for purchasing federally subsidized insurance
programs.
The new resolution reads "the Iowa Farm Bureau supports conservation
compliance; however, eligibility for federal crop insurance should not
be subject to farm program conservation requirements
