(NAFB.com) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced several Conservation Reserve Program enrollment opportunities for agricultural producers and landowners. USDA’s Farm Service Agency is accepting offers for both the General and Continuous CRP now through June 6, 2025. CRP has long been USDA’s flagship conservation program and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. “With 1.8 million acres available for all CRP enrollment this fiscal year, we are very aware that we are bumping up against the statutory 27-million-acre cap,” says FSA Administrator Bill Beam. “Now more than ever, it’s important that the acres offered by landowners and those approved by USDA address our most critical natural resource concerns.” Beam also said that with the limited number of acres available, they’re not necessarily looking for the most acres offered but instead are prioritizing mindful conservation efforts to ensure that FSA maximizes the return on investment from both a conservation and an economic perspective.
