Sign-up for the Highly Erodible Land Initiative under the Conservation Reserve Program opens today, July 23, giving landowners an opportunity to receive rental payments and cost-share assistance to establish long-term, resource conserving covers on eligible cropland. Croplands with an erodibility index of 20 or higher are eligible for enrollment. “We are excited to include this new initiative that targets the most fragile cropland, in addition to other targeted initiatives that are currently available under CRP,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. CRP is a voluntary program designed to help farmers and ranchers protect environmentally sensitive land. In its 25 years, CRP has helped reduce soil erosion, provided natural habitats for wildlife, restored more than 2 million acres of wetlands and removed several million tons of carbon dioxide from the air.
