(KLZA)-- Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, along with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Farm Service Agency, will host 56 Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up informational meetings for landowners during the upcoming sign-up period.
The CRP general sign-up will be held December 1, 2015 through February 26, 2016. CRP general sign-up information meetings will focus on eligibility and the CRP sign-up process, as well as updates to CRP mid-contract management. Presentations will also cover various CRP practices, updated rental rates, and public access / additional incentive opportunities.
CRP remains the gold standard program for creating upland habitat for pheasants, quail and other wildlife in Nebraska. In addition to wildlife habitat, CRP provides landowners with many benefits. “CRP continues to evolve. With competitive rental rates, the ability to enroll partial fields and haying and grazing options for management, landowners will want to attend a local meeting and learn how voluntary conservation programs can work to increase farm and ranch income.
CRP Informational Meetings by County include:
Richardson County, January 12, 1:30 p.m. - 3 p.m. CST at a site still to be determined in Falls City.
Pawnee County, January, 20th, 1:30 p.m. - 3 p.m. CST at the Pawnee City Library (735 8th St.) in Pawnee City.
