CSP Deadline Extended
Published Thursday, May 08, 2008 at 04:46 AM
In making the announcement, Lancaster said - NRCS recognizes the inopportune timing of this year’s sign-up and that farmers and ranchers are busy in their fields. Lancaster said - we are extending the sign-up as much as possible to allow producers adequate time to gather natural resource information and complete the required self-assessment and applicant interview.
Natural disasters—such as excessive spring rains and flooding in certain parts of the country that caused delays in planting—also played a role in the decision to extend the sign-up. CSP, a voluntary program, encourages and rewards producers who practice outstanding stewardship on working agricultural land by offering financial incentives that increase with the level of conservation effort. Soil and water quality are the primary focus of this program.
