Signup for the Conservation Reserve Program will take place March 3 through March 14 at Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service county offices.
Approximately 69.5 million acres will be eligible in the 1986 crop year for entry into the program, a provision of the Food Security Act of 1985 that will take highly erodible land out of farming for 10 years and place it into trees or other permanent vegetative cover. Enrollment of approximately five million acres is expected in 1986.
USDA’s Soil Conservation Service will determine the classification or erosion levels of land. All Class 6, 7 and 8 land is eligible along with any land in Classes 2 through 5 that is eroding at three times the tolerance level.
