USDA recently announced a new conservation program, called Conservation Stewardship Program.
Through CSP, NRCS will provide financial and technical assistance to eligible producers to conserve and enhance soil, water, air, and related natural resources on their land. Eligible lands include cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest lands, agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe, and other private agricultural land (including cropped woodland, marshes, and agricultural land used for the production of livestock) on which resource concerns related to agricultural production could be addressed.
There is a pool of money currently available to fund this program for participants.
You can find more information at this link: Conservation Stewardship Program
or contact Joe O’Donnell at the NRCS office in Delphi. NRCS Press Release
