One Week Remains to Sign Up for Conservation Reserve Program

Producers interested in joining the Conservation Reserve Program by offering land to help improve the nation's natural resources and protect millions of acres of topsoil from erosion, have one week to do so. Producers who enroll in CRP 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.
