2011 CRP General Sign Up

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced new Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general signup. Officially called CRP general signup 41, it's the first general signup opportunity in 2011.

CRP acres provide the top nationwide habitat component in producing pheasants and quail, while providing a host of soil, water quality and environmental benefits.

What:

Land that is not currently enrolled in CRP may be offered for enrollment during CRP sign-up 41. In addition, CRP participants with contracts expiring on Sept. 30, 2011, may submit offers. It is recommended that you contact your local FSA Service Center to schedule an appointment.
