(KLZA)-- The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday that agricultural producers and private landowners can now enroll in the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program.
The sign-up runs until August 8, 2025.
Grassland CRP, offered by USDA's Farm Service Agency, is a voluntary working lands conservation program that enables participants to conserve grasslands while also continuing most grazing and haying practices.
Grassland CRP emphasizes support for grazing operations, plant and animal biodiversity, and grasslands and land with shrubs and forbs under the greatest threat of conversion.
Landowners and producers interested in Grassland CRP should contact their local USDA Service Center to learn more or apply for the program before the Aug. 8 deadline.
