USDA Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a voluntary program that contracts with agricultural producers so environmentally sensitive agricultural land is taken out of production and protected through strategically planned conservation practices devoted to conservation benefits and wildlife. CRP participants establish long-term, resource- conserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees (known as “covers”) to control soil erosion, improve water quality and develop wildlife habitat. In return, FSA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years.
