[August 20, 2019]    Farmers and ranchers with expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts have until August 23, 2019, to re-enroll in certain CRP continuous signup practices or, if eligible, select a one-year contract extension.

USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is also accepting offers from landowners who want to enroll for the first time in one of the country’s largest conservation programs. CRP signup opened June 3 and ends August 23.

This year’s CRP continuous signup includes practices, such as grass waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of practices approved for this signup. Continuous signup contracts last for 10 to 15 years. Soil rental rates are set at 90 percent of 2018 rates. Incentive payments are not offered for these practices.

Producers interested in applying for CRP continuous practices, or who want to extend their contract, should contact their USDA service center by August 23.
