FSA extends CRP deadline to April 13th
The deadline has been extended for the Conservation Reserve Program sign-up because of increased interest. Juan Garcia, Farm Service Agency Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs, tells Brownfield they are extending the deadline for sign-up by one week.
“We have been very pleasantly surprised by the demand demonstrated thus far for the program and we want to give producers every opportunity to take advantage of the sign-up.”
Rather than the original deadline of April 6th, producers now have through Friday, April 13th, 2012 to enroll in the CRP.
“We want to give producers and county office personnel ample time to discuss the program provisions and of course submit the most competitive offer possible for our producers out there.”
Garcia says 6.5 million CRP acres are expiring this year.
