Although the USDA used to pay farmers just for not growing crops due to large surpluses of primary commodities, the only form of payment now for not growing crops is a program called the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Certain types of environmentally sensitive areas, particularly riparian areas, need protection to prevent erosion or runoff. The USDA essentially "rents" this land for a relatively low price in return for the farmer's planting of permanent grasses, shrubs, and trees to hold the soil. The program requires the farmer to enter into a six-year contract (I think it's six years, though I may not remember correctly).
The USDA has many different programs available to farmers and rural communities for a wide variety of purposes, but the CRP is the only one which even comes close to "...pay farmers not to grow crops."
