USDA Offers Options to Re-enroll or Extend Expiring CRP Contracts continued from page 1 offered for these practices.| Producers with Ex- piring CRP Contracts Letters are in the mail to all producers with expir- ing CRP contracts, de- scribing possible options. A one-year extension is be- ing offered to existing CRP participants with expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less that have practices not eligible for re-enrollment under this CRP signup. Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which provides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a social- ly disadvantaged group. CRP Continu - ous CREP Signup This signup also enables producers to sign up un- der existing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Pro- gram (CREP) agreements. CREP is part of CRP and targets high-priority con- servation concerns identi- fied by a state, and federal funds are supplemented with non-federal funds to address those concerns. Other Future CRP Signup Options Seventy young people attend Cutsforth Park 4-H camp FSA is still planning a CRP general signup in December 2019, with a CRP Grass- lands signup to follow. Those that extend their contracts may be eligible for one of these signup types or another continu- ous signup in the future. More Information On December 20, 2018, President Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides sup- port, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining di- saster programs and pro- moting and supporting vol- untary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these changes as quickly and effectively as possible, and today’s updates are part of meeting that goal. Producers interested in ap- plying for CRP continuous practices, including those under existing CREP agree- ments, or who want to ex- tend their contract, should contact their USDA service center by August 23.
