Farmers would get more money and flexibility for conservation land.
This bill would update the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Farmers and landowners in the program could receive higher rental payments, up to $125,000. It would also make it easier for them to hay their land during emergencies like droughts and get help paying for grazing fences and water systems.
Today, landowners in the Conservation Reserve Program can receive up to $50,000 in rental payments. Emergency haying during the primary nesting season is generally restricted. This bill would increase the maximum rental payment to $125,000. It would also allow emergency haying on up to 50% of contract acres during the final two weeks of the primary nesting season under specific disaster conditions. It would also expand cost-sharing to include grazing infrastructure like fences and water systems, which is not explicitly covered now.
