USDA Accepts More than 2.5 Million Acres in Grassland CRP

Dan September 13, 2021 Conservation, Environment, USDA-NRCS

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced they have accepted offers for more than 2.5 million acres from agricultural producers and private landowners for enrollment through this year’s Grassland Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Signup. This is double last year’s enrollment and brings the total acres enrolled across all CRP signups in 2021 to more than 5.3 million acres, surpassing USDA’s 4-million-acre goal. Producers and landowners submitted offers for nearly 4 million acres in Grassland CRP, the highest in the signup’s history.

Through Grassland CRP, producers and landowners can conserve grasslands, rangelands, and pastures, while retaining the right to conduct common grazing practices, such as haying, mowing, or harvesting seed from the enrolled land, pursuant to approved conservation plans designed to promote thoughtful use while creating and maintaining vital habitat.

Farm Service Agency Administrator Zach Ducheneaux discusses the recent acreage enrollment period for CRP Grasslands and how it was driven in part by new incentives within the program.

USDA Accepts More than 2.5 Million Acres in Grassland CRP

FSA rolled out a number of updates to its CRP signups earlier this year. This included setting a minimum payment rate for Grassland CRP as well as establishing new national priority zones. Plus, lands enrolled in CRP play an important role in addressing climate change.

In addition to the more than 2.5 million acres enrolled in Grassland CRP, almost 1.9 million acres in offers were accepted through the General CRP Signup and 902,000 acres were accepted so far through the Continuous Signup.

For more information on any CRP program, contact your local FSA county office or visit fsa.usda.gov/crp.
