Ag producers and private landowners enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) can apply for Forest Management Incentive funding to aid with forest management practices.
The incentive program is available for participants with active CRP contracts with forest cover that are not within two years of expiration. Forest management practices include brush management, herbaceous weed control, prescribed burning, firebreaks, development of early successional habitat and forest stand improvement.
Interested producers can contact the Farm Service Agency at their local USDA Service Center.
