CSP offers annual payments for implementing these practices on your land and maintaining existing conservation efforts.
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). It is a voluntary program that encourages agricultural producers & landowners to convert highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage to vegetative cover. By enrolling in CRP, participants receive annual rental payments and cost-share assistance to establish long-term, resource-conserving vegetative covers. The program helps improve water quality, control soil erosion, & enhance wildlife habitat. It contributes to overall environmental health and sustainability.
While CRP applications, payments, and eligibility are administered by FSA, agricultural producers and landowners will work one-on-one with NRCS, the technical service provider, to determine the best method for putting practices in place.
