General Sign-Up for Conservation Reserve Program Opens Today

USDA launched a general sign-up today that will allow farmers and ranchers to offer their land in an effort to protect millions of acres of topsoil from erosion and improve the nation’s natural resources. Producers who enroll in the Conservation Reserve Program will  be expected to plant long-term, resource-conserving covers in exchange for rental payments, cost-share and technical assistance. To sign up, producers should consult their local Farm Service Agency county office. Learn more or locate an FSA county office.
