Conservation Reserve Program participants in Kansas received $122,815,104 for 3,103,993 acres enrolled on 49,834 contracts, according to Adrian J. Polansky, state executive director of USDA’s Farm Service Agency. Across the country, participants received $1.7 billion on approximately 33 million acres. The Conservation Reserve Program is the largest public-private partnership for conservation and wildlife habitat in the United States. This voluntary program helps agricultural producers safeguard sensitive land. Producers enroll in long-term, resource-conserving covers to improve water quality, control soil erosion and enhance habitats for waterfowl and wildlife. In return USDA provides producers with annual rental and cost-share payments on 10- to 15-year contracts.
