A man General CRP signup continues Lynn Voigt, State Executive Director for the Oregon USDA Farm Ser vice Agency (FSA), an nounced that the Conser vation Reserve Program (CRP) signup is underway, and will continue through April 15. This is the sec ond consecutive year that USDA has offered a general CRP signup. “Financial incen tives available through CRP afford farmers and ranchers a low risk opportunity to implement a variety of con servation practices that will benefit the environment in a number o f ways,” said Voigt. “Over the past 25 years, CRP practices have im proved w ater and air quality, increased wildlife habitat and prevented soil erosion,” he said. Landow ners en rolled in the CRP program receive annual rental pay ments and cost-share assis tance to establish long-term, resource conserving covers on eligible farmland. Land that is not currently enrolled in CRP can be offered dur- ing sign-up if all eligibility requirements are met. CRP participants with contracts expiring this fall can make new contract offers during the signup period. Contracts awarded during this general signup will become effective Oc tober 1, 2011. All CRP offers are evaluated and ranked using an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) that indicates the environmental benefits of enrolling land in CRP. There are five environ mental factors that make up the EBI: wildlife, water, soil, air, enduring benefits and cost. Decisions will be made following the end of the sign-up period and after analyzing EBI data on all of the offers. In addition to the general sign-up, the contin uous CRP sign-up program will be ongoing. For more informa tion, contact your local FSA office or visit http://www. fsa.usda.gov/crp.
