Have you been thinking about what to do with land that is wet, has a steep side slope or is just unproductive? Consider putting the land into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
The CRP benefits all Iowans by improving water quality, controlling erosion and runoff, and expanding wildlife habitat.
This year, you’ll have the opportunity to take advantage of the first general CRP sign-up since 2006, but the available acreage is limited. Iowa’s Farm Service Agency is encouraging all who are interested to be prepared when the sign up dates are announced.
More information is available in county USDA service centers, at DNR wildlife and forestry offices, or online at www.iowadnr.gov/forestry/crp.html.
