Northwest Iowa — A program that was popular with farmers, is being brought back from hiatus.
Continuous sign-up under the Conservation Reserve Program is now open in Iowa and runs through mid-August. Greg Reisdorff, with the Farm Service Agency, says they’ve restarted the popular program after putting it on hold.
He says C-R-P has always been a popular program, moreso now.
Reisdorff says the deadline for continuous C-R-P sign up is tied to the Farm Bill, which is set to expire this fall on September 30th.
Reisdorff says for any C-R-P contract that’s expiring this fall and is less than 15 years, enrollees can apply for a one-year extension. For more information, contact your local county Farm Service Agency office.
