USDA began accepting applications for the Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) on Jan. 12.
Producers interested in conservation opportunities for their land in exchange for yearly rental payments should consider applying for the program, USDA said. Producers participating in CRP can apply to reenroll if their contracts expire this year.
“Whether a producer wants to focus on water quality benefits or work with one of our partners to address a natural resource concern in their area, the program offers many options to help you meet your resource conservation goals,” said Farm Service Agency Administrator Zach Ducheneaux.
Producers should contact their local USDA Service Center by July 31 to have an offer effective by Oct. 1. To learn more, visit tinyurl.com/4zen5ztn.
