Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
Overview
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a voluntary program for
agricultural landowners. Through CRP, you can receive annual rental payments and
cost-share assistance to establish long-term, resource conserving covers on
eligible farmland
The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) makes annual rental payments based on
the agriculture rental value of the land, and it provides cost-share assistance
for up to 50 percent of the participant's costs in establishing approved
conservation practices. Participants enroll in CRP contracts for 10 to 15 years.
For additional program information on the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
go to the
Farm Service Agency (FSA) web site.
The program is administered through by the CCC through the
Farm Service Agency (FSA),
and program support is provided by Natural Resources Conservation Service,
Cooperative State Research and Education Extension Service,
state forestry
agencies, and local Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
