The USDA has suspended the deadline for general Conservation Reserve Program sign-up indefinitely. FSA Acting Administrator Steve Peterson explains why, “Ultimately, with the new administration coming in, they wanted to evaluate CRP participation and enrollment and they wanted to identify ways that they may be able to encourage enrollment for CRP.”
Peterson tells Brownfield Ag News the 2018 Farm Bill has an acreage cap of 25 million acres for 2021 which is now at 20.8 million acres.
