Producers who take advantage of the emergency grazing extension will not incur an additional CRP rental payment reduction.
229 Texas Counties are eligible for Conservation Reserve Program emergency haying and grazing, due to new provisions announced last week.
Continuous CRP is a voluntary program that helps producers apply conservation practices to safeguard environmentally sensitive land.
This includes crops covered by crop insurance, the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program, and crops without insurance coverage.
James Douglass, acting state executive director for Texas FSA elaborated, saying “Mother Nature has not been kind to Texas farmers and ranchers in 2011."
Elected county committee members serve a three-year term, and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commodity, and price support programs.
The producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent loss on a crop of economic significance and purchased crop insurance through the Federal Crop Insurance Act or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program.
Producers that file accurate and timely reports for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage, can prevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits.
