Sign-Up for Conservation Reserve Program Ends Tomorrow

Producers interested in offering land in an effort to protect millions of acres of topsoil from erosion and improve the nation’s natural resources, have until tomorrow to do so. Producers who enroll in the Conservation Reserve Program during the general sign-up period — which ends Friday, Aug. 27 — will  be expected to plant long-term, resource-conserving covers in exchange for rental payments, cost-share and technical assistance. Those interested should consult their local Farm Service Agency county office. Learn more or locate an FSA county office.
