Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program Expanded in Indiana; Sign-Up Opens Today

USDA has expanded its Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program in Indiana to include 26,250 acres made available to landowners in 11 watersheds in all or portions of 65 counties. The CREP program — which opens today for producer sign-up — is part of the Conservation Reserve Program that allows producers to voluntarily restore riparian buffers and wetland areas through financial aid and technical assistance, as well as helping to reduce sediment and nutrient run-off and enhancing wildlife habitat.
