Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) Outreach
The Capital RC&D is helping to "spread the word" about this new opportunity for landowners (with crop, pasture and forest areas) who are good stewards and want to potentially add additional "conservation practices."
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, improved pastureland, nonindustrial private forest lands, 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. Participation in the program is voluntary.
CSP is not like any other conservation program. It provides comprehensive conservation assistance to whole farms and working lands to resolve particular resource concerns in a given location. It offers farmers the opportunity to augment the foundation of their good current conservation efforts by earning payments for maintaining them, expanding them, and adding new conservation activities—even while they work their lands for production. CSP is for working farms, built on the belief that we must enhance natural resource and environmental protection at the same time we produce profitable food, fiber and energy. –From Farmer’s Guide to Conservation Stewardship Program.
