Conservation Reserve Program acres, or CRP acres, may be eligible for haying and grazing. Washington County Farm Service Agency Executive Director, Kristie Nutsch-Fulton, explains why the program has started.
She also shares what a producer needs to do to receive authorization to hay or graze the CRP acres.
CRP is a program that pays farmers to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve the environmental health and quality of the land.
