Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Registration Opens

Enrollment for General Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) opened on March 9 and will run until April 17, 2026. FSA will announce dates for Grassland CRP signup in the near future.

CRP is USDA’s flagship conservation program, providing financial and technical support to agricultural producers and landowners who place unproductive or marginal cropland under contract for 10-15 years and who agree to voluntarily convert the land to beneficial vegetative cover to improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and support wildlife habitat. Producers and landowners interested in participating in CRP should contact their local FSA county office.
