The USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is increasing incentive payments for land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) by raising the practice incentive payment for installing practices from 5 percent to 20 percent.
Additionally, producers will receive a 10 percent incentive payment for water quality practices on land enrolled in CRP’s continuous signup. Under continuous CRP, producers can enroll environmentally sensitive land devoted to certain conservation practices, with enrollment available at any time.
“We offer a number of CRP initiatives, including continuous CRP, which greatly benefits natural resources like water. Increasing the incentive payment gives farmers even more reason to participate in continuous CRP, one of our nation’s largest conservation endeavors,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce in a press release.
For more information on the CRP program, you can contact your local FSA office or go to fsa.usda.gov.
