CRP enrollment extended

Thursday, April 5, 2012

According to Farm Service Agency Deputy Administrator Juan Garcia, the current general sign up period for the Conservation Reserve Program, set to end on Friday, April 6, has been extended a week through Friday, April 13.

Due to some computer software technical problems when the enrollment period started, progress was delayed through those first weeks.

This glitch in the offer process prompted the announced extension so that all landowners and operators interested in program participation will have the opportunity to complete desired offers.

Contact your local FSA office for more program information, or to complete a offer for CRP involvement. Bourbon County producers should call (620) 223-1880, or stop by 1515 S. Judson in Fort Scott.
