USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced Oct. 8, 2010 that the ranking period cut-off date for producer applications in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) has been extended to January 7, 2011.
Authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill, CSP offers payments to producers who maintain a high level of conservation on their land and who agree to adopt higher levels of stewardship. Non-industrial forestland is eligible.
CSP is offered in all 50 states, District of Columbia, and the Pacific and Caribbean areas through continuous sign-ups with announced cut-off dates for ranking periods. The program provides many conservation benefits including improvement of water and soil quality, wildlife habitat enhancement and adoption of conservation activities that address the effects of climate change.
