Through CRP Grasslands, participants retain the
right to conduct common grazing practices, such as haying,
mowing or harvesting seed from the enrolled land. Timing of some
activities may be restricted by the primary nesting season of
birds.
Participants will receive an annual rental payment and may
receive up to 50 percent cost-share for establishing approved
conservation practices. The duration of the CRP contract is 10
or 15 years. FSA ranked offers using a number of factors,
including existence of expiring CRP land, threat of conversion
or development, existing grassland and predominance of native
species cover and cost.
The 2018 Farm Bill set aside 2 million acres for CRP Grassland
enrollment. CRP is one of the largest conservation programs at
USDA. CRP marks its 35-year anniversary in 2020 with 22 million
acres currently enrolled.
For more information or to enroll in CRP Grasslands, contact
