Sodbuster
Sodbuster was a program created by Title 12 of the Food Security Act of 1985 designed to discourage the plowing up of erosion-prone grasslands for use as cropland. If such is used for crop production without proper conservation measures as laid out in a conservation plan, a producer may lose eligibility to participate in farm programs. In the 1990 Farm Bill, it was amended and became the super sodbuster, such that producers became ineligible for specified farm program benefits on all their land if they cultivated highly erodible land that was idle. The super sodbuster was repealed by the 1996 Farm Bill.

sodbuster
A sodbuster is a term commonly used to refer to a farmer, specifically one who works hard in plowing or tilling the soil. The term originated in the mid-19th century with settlers in the American Midwest who had to break through the tough, sod-covered prairie lands to cultivate crops. It can also refer to a particular type of plow that is used for breaking the sod or grass layer in order to convert pasture land into arable land.
