The USDA has accepted more than 2.5 million acres from ag producers and private landowners for enrollment in the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program.
Which is more than double last year’s enrollment and brings the totals acres enrolled across all CRP signups in 2021 to more than 5.3 million acres, surpassing USDA’s goal of 4 million acres.
FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux says he believes the increased interest stems from changes made to the program.
