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.
