County Offices need to fax a copy of the CRP-1 and a copy of the map of
the area to the conservation section of the State Office prior to
approving offers for CP-33. Offers will be handled by the date and time
on the fax when received at the State Office. Offers received in the
mail will be handled when they arrive at the State Office, not by post
mark. A copy of the map of the area is required even though they may not
fax well.

Information required on the CRP 1 include, farm number, tract number,
acres for CP33 and a signature of the producer.

The following are warm seeding grass mixtures required for CP-33.
