previous participant in the contract maintains or acquires any interest of any kind in the property including, but not
limited to, present, future, or conditional interests, or reversionary interests, or any option with respect to the property.

nonpayment of debt or on a voluntary transfer by the person seeking to succeed to the CRP contract.
E. The participant certifies that no person has, or will, obtain an interest in the property that would render the new owner
or operator to be ineligible to succeed to the CRP contract under the provisions of this paragraph. The existence or

terminate the contract and enforce the remedies provided in this Appendix.
