Agricultural producers and non-industrial forestland owners maintaining conservation practices may be eligible to receive up to $40,000 a year for the next 5 years through the USDA's Conservation Stewardship Program, announced Denise Coleman, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist. "But, time is running out to apply."
USDA recently announced June 11, 2010 as the national cutoff date, which will require potential applicants to submit applications quickly.
CSP is a voluntary program that encourages producers to maintain existing conservation activities and adopt new ones on their farm and non-industrial forestland operations. The program is popular for those who go the extra mile with conservation and sustainable practices, whether they've accomplished it on their own or through USDA and NRCS programs.
