The USDA’s Farm Service Agency is currently accepting offers for Continuous CRP from February 12 to March 20, 2026, with General CRP enrollment running from March 9 to April 17, 2026. The program aims to convert unproductive cropland into beneficial vegetative cover to improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and support wildlife habitat. With 1.9 million acres available for enrollment this fiscal year, competition is expected to be high. Continuous CRP participants receive annual rental payments and cost share assistance for establishing long-term vegetative cover on environmentally sensitive lands. Interested producers and landowners should contact their local FSA county office for more information.
