USDA made two announcements about the Conservation Security Program this week.
NRCS chief Arlen Lancaster says first, nearly $257 million in CSP payments are being readied for all 19,393 contracts with eligible landowners and producers. And second that USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service anticipates the next CSP signup to take place in early 2008 in the 51 eligible watersheds announced in September 2006.
