CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM/ CONTINUOUS CONSERVATION PROGRAM/
CONSERVATION RESERVE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM

Recommended Practice Narratives

January 2008

Revised April 2008

Recommended Standard Short-Form Narratives are being provided for the
following three Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Conservation
Practices (CP): CP1, CP2 and CP22. Standard Narratives for the
establishment of CP1 and CP2 should include a provision for the use of a
temporary cover crop when needed. Narratives for all three Conservation
Practices should also provide for at least one follow up weed control.
**NOTE:** A.) Soil testing is Not Required for CP2; and B.) CP1 seeding
rates are NOT based on Pure Live Seed (PLS), but CP2 seeding rates ARE
based on Pure Live Seed;

The Mid-Contract Management Activity statement for CP1 should also be
used for CP4D, CP8A, CP10 and CP15A.

The Mid-Contract Management Activity narratives provided are for 10-year
contracts. For contracts longer than 10 years, Mid-Contract Management
Activities will be planned in both the 5^th^ and 10^th^ years. Any
contract being extended may include mid-contract management practices in
the conservation plans. Based on the length of contract, mid-contract
management activities may occur up to:

-   Year 8 for a 10-year contract

-   Year 13 for a 15-year contract

NOTE: Prescribed burning can only be recommended in accordance with NRCS
policy and only in combination with one of the other mid-contract
management activities.

\*\*\* This version (October 2007) includes statements in the
maintenance practice narratives that maintenance is assumed to begin no
later than the end of the third growing season following seeding or
planting. \*\*\*

CONSERVATION COVER -- CP1 (327)

Establish cool season grasses and legumes. Apply lime and fertilizer
according to soil test (use code 1054 for Penn State soil tests). Seed
with a no-till or conventional drill by June 15, or between August 15
and September 15. Use the proper inoculant for the legume. Seed Timothy,
4 lbs./ac.; Orchardgrass, 5 lbs./ac.; Red clover, 2 lbs./ac.; and Alsike
clover, 2 lbs./ac. A companion crop of Oats may be added to the seed
mixture in tilled seedbeds. If the permanent seeding can not be
completed by the deadline, a temporary cover of Oats will be seeded (one
bu./ac.) on fields without adequate crop residues. Weed control (mowing
or herbicide treatment) may be necessary during the establishment period
(one or two growing seasons). Companion or temporary cover crops may not
be harvested. No haying or grazing is permitted for the life of the
contract.

Noxious weeds must be controlled by the participant.

UPLAND WILDLIFE HABITAT MANAGEMENT (645)

The permanent cover will be considered established at the end of the
third growing season following seeding, unless otherwise determined and
documented in writing by USDA personnel. Maintain for upland wildlife
habitat and soil erosion control for the life of the contract. Mowing is
not allowed for cosmetic purposes. Mowing to control noxious,
undesirable, or invasion of woody species may be done only with prior
approval provided by the FSA County Committee. Any mowing approved must
occur between August 1 and August 20. Do not mow below 6 inches. Spot
treatments of herbicide may be done at any time to control noxious weeds
or woody vegetation. Any permanent cover destroyed must be
re-established. Haying or grazing is not permitted for the life of the
contract.

Choose One of the Following:

[Mid-Contract Management Activity]{.underline} -- In the fifth year of
the contract, conduct soil tests on all cool-season grass and legume
fields (use code 1054 for Penn State soil tests). Lime and fertilize
according to soil test recommendations between August 1 and March 31. In
February or March of the fifth year of the contract, conduct a
Prescribed Burn followed by a light disking. Prescribed Burning reduces
the excessive accumulation of plant residues and when combined with a
light disking improves wildlife habitat. Light disking will not exceed
three inches in depth. Prescribed Burning can be performed safely when
done by competent, knowledgeable and skilled professionals. Prior to any
burn an approved Prescribed Burn Plan must be submitted to USDA. All
federal, state, and local laws concerning outdoor burning, fire control,
smoke management, and air quality must be followed. USDA does not assume
any liability for damages if the fire escapes or smoke damage occurs.
Contact USDA prior to any burn. The Prescribed Burn must be conducted by
a person Certified to conduct Prescribed Burns and approved by USDA.

[Mid-Contract Management Activity]{.underline} -- In the fifth year of
the contract, conduct soil tests on all cool-season grass and legume
fields (use code 1054 for Penn State soil tests). Lime and fertilize
according to soil test recommendations between August 1 and March 31. In
the fifth year of the contract, between the months of November and March
mow followed by light disking to reduce the excessive accumulation of
plant residues and improve wildlife habitat. Do not mow below eight
inches and do not disk more than three inches deep.

CONSERVATION COVER -- CP2 (327)

Establish warm-season grasses and forbs. Seed with a no-till drill
between December 1 and June 1. Seeding after last frost may result in
low germination. Seed Big bluestem, 3 lbs./ac. PLS; Indiangrass, 1
lbs./ac. PLS; Little bluestem, 2 lbs./ac. PLS; and Wildflower mix, 1/2
lb./ac. Warm-season grasses (other than Switchgrass) require a
specialized warm-season grass drill, or de-bearded seed. If a warm
season grass drill cannot be utilized, 6 lbs./acre PLS of Switchgrass
can be substituted. If the permanent seeding can not be completed by the
deadline, a temporary cover of Oats will be seeded (1 bu./ac.) on fields
without adequate crop residues. Temporary cover crops may not be
harvested. Weed control (mowing or herbicide treatment) is critical
during the establishment period (two or three growing seasons). Mow
above warm-season grass seedlings. No haying or grazing is permitted for
the life of the contract.

UPLAND WILDLIFE HABITAT MANAGEMENT (645)

The permanent cover will be considered established at the end of the
third growing season following seeding, unless otherwise determined and
documented in writing by USDA personnel. Maintain for upland wildlife
habitat and soil erosion control for the life of the contract. Mowing is
not allowed for cosmetic purposes. Mowing to control noxious,
undesirable, or invasion of woody species may be done only with prior
approval provided by the FSA County Committee. Any mowing approved must
occur between August 1 and August 20. Do not mow below 8 inches. Spot
treatments of herbicide may be done at any time to control noxious weeds
or woody vegetation. Any permanent cover destroyed must be
re-established. Haying or grazing is not permitted for the life of the
contract without permission from the FSA County Committee.

Choose One of the Following:

[Mid-Contract Management Activity]{.underline} -- In February or March
of the fifth year of the contract, conduct a Prescribed Burn followed by
a light disking. Prescribed Burning reduces the excessive accumulation
of plant residues and when combined with a light disking improves
wildlife habitat. Light disking will not exceed three inches in depth.
Prescribed Burning can be performed safely when done by competent,
knowledgeable and skilled professionals. Prior to any burn an approved
Prescribed Burn Plan must be submitted to USDA. All federal, state, and
local laws concerning outdoor burning, fire control, smoke management,
and air quality must be followed. USDA does not assume any liability for
damages if the fire escapes or smoke damage occurs. Contact USDA prior
to any burn. The Prescribed Burn must be conducted by a person Certified
to conduct Prescribed Burns and approved by USDA.

[Mid-Contract Management Activity]{.underline} -- In the fifth year of
the contract, between the months of November and March mow followed by
light disking to reduce the excessive accumulation of plant residues and
improve wildlife habitat. Do not mow below eight inches and do not disk
more than three inches deep.

[Mid-Contract Management Activity]{.underline} -- In the fifth year of
the contract, mow followed by herbicide treatment to reduce the
excessive accumulation of plant residues and improve wildlife habitat.
Mow once between the months of November and March. This applies to the
entire field. Do not mow below eight inches. After native warm-season
grasses begin to grow in the Spring, spray half rate of regular
formulation (not long-acting) glyphosate herbicide, without additional
surfactants and adjuvant.

RIPARIAN FOREST BUFFER -- CP22 (391)

Establish native trees and shrubs along the stream. Seed Hard fescue (8
lbs./ac.) on areas without adequate crop residues. Use mowing, herbicide
treatment, or tillage to prepare the area for planting. Plant at least
four tree species and two shrub species by April 15, or after seedlings
are dormant (leaf fall) in the fall. Mix species when planting and plant
100 to 150 seedlings/ac. Plant only trees adjacent to the stream.
Control competing vegetation during the establishment period through
mowing and/or herbicide application. Surfactants used with herbicides
need to be safe for aquatic systems. Tree seedlings must be protected
from deer browsing and other animal damage. If tree shelters are used,
install shelters with a continuous vertical perforation. Shelters
without perforations will be removed when sapling trunks are 1-1/2
inches in diameter at the top of the shelters. When used maintain tree
shelters, including stakes and nets. Trees and shrubs will be considered
established at the end of the fourth growing season following planting,
unless otherwise determined and documented in writing by USDA personnel.
After trees and shrubs are established, there will be no mowing in this
area. Noxious weeds may be controlled by spot treatment with herbicides.
No harvesting of herbaceous or woody vegetation is permitted for the
life of the contract. Please see attached Riparian Forest Buffer Job
Sheet.
