(KLZA)-- Agricultural producers and landowners can sign up for the Conservation Reserve Program from January 31 to March 11. The Grassland CRP signup will run April 4 to May 13.

CRP is a program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is a key tool in the Biden-Harris Administration effort to address climate change and achieve other natural resource benefits.

4.6 million acres were enrolled into CRP in 2021, including 2.5 million acres in the Grassland CRP. Currently there are 22.1 million acres enrolled and the Farm Service Agency has a goal to reach 25.5-million acres for fiscal year 2022.

Landowners can also enroll acres in Continuous CRP under the ongoing sign up, which includes projects through the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program and State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement program.

Producers and landowners interested in CRP should contact their local USDA Service Center to learn more or to apply for the program. You can also learn more at the website, www.usda.gov.
