Free Webinar Provides Information on Upcoming CRP Sign-Up

Officials from the Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resources Conservation Service will take part in a free webinar to discuss the upcoming Conservation Reserve Program open sign-up period. Sponsored by the Women, Food and Agriculture Network, the webinar will provide information on eligibility requirements, ways to increase acceptance into the program, annual payment rates and CRP practices and management options. The 45th general CRP sign-up opens May 20 and runs through June 14. During that time, producers can sign up to receive cost-share assistance to plant long-term, resource-conserving covers and receive annual rental payment for the length of the contract.
