## General Sign-up. Landowners and operators with eligible lands compete nationally for acceptance based on an environmental benefits index (EBI) during specified enrollment periods. Producers may submit offers below soil-specific maximum rental rates to increase their EBI ranking. The last general signup was held in 2006.

Continuous Sign-up



# G Non-CREP . Landowners and operators with eligible lands may enroll certain high priority conservation practices, such as filter strips and riparian buffers, at any time during the year without competition. In addition to annual soil rental payment and cost-share assistance, many practices are eligible for additional annual and one-time up-front financial incentives. 

# G Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) . Under federal-state cooperative conservation efforts, landowners and operators implement projects designed to address specific environmental objectives through targeted CRP enrollments. Sign-up is held on a continuous basis and additional financial incentives are generally provided. 

# G Farmable Wetland Program (FWP). Landowners and operators enroll and restore small cropped wetlands on a continuous sign-up basis. Lands are also eligible for additional annual and one-time up-front financial incentives.

# CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM

Under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) establishes contracts with agricultural producers to retire highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive cropland and pasture. During the 10- to 15-year CRP contract period, farmland is converted to grass, trees, wildlife cover, or other conservation uses providing environmental benefits, including improvement of surface water quality, creation of wildlife habitat, preservation of soil productivity, protection of groundwater quality, and reduction of offsite wind erosion damages. The program also assists farmers by providing a dependable source of income. The program was established by the Food Security Act of 1985, and was later amended by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, and the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.

The CRP is administered by USDA’s Farm Service Agency with technical assistance from USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and Forest Service, and from other technical service providers. USDA provides participants with annual rental payments during the contract period and half the cost of establishing conservation covers. There are two primary ways for farmers and ranchers to participate in the CRP: general sign-up and continuous sign-up. Continuous sign-up includes the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and the Farmable Wetlands Program.

CRP LEGISLATIVE AND PROGRAMMATIC HISTORY

Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985established the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to assist owners and operators in conserving and improving soil, water, and wildlife resources on their farms and ranches by converting highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive cropland and marginal pasture to long-term resource conserving covers. In exchange for annual rental payments and cost-share assistance of up to 50 percent of cover establishment costs, agricultural landowners and operators agree to establish and maintain an approved permanent cover on enrolled acreage for 10 to 15 years. The 1985 Act directed the Department of Agriculture to enroll 40 to 45 million acres by 1990 with a primary goal of reducing soil erosion on highly erodible cropland. Secondary objectives included protecting the Nation's long-run capability to produce food and fiber, reducing sedimentation, improving water quality, fostering wildlife habitat, curbing production of surplus commodities, and providing income support for farmers.

The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990extended CRP through 1995 and expanded types of land eligible for enrollment to include lands that could reduce on-site or off-site threats to water quality if removed from production. Following 1990 Act passage, USDA’s Farm Service Agency adopted new rental payment caps based on soil-specific productivity-based rental rates, and developed an environmental benefits index (EBI) to rank offers.

-6-

# The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 re-authorized CRP enrollment through 2002 and set a maximum enrollment of 36.4 million acres at any one time.

Following passage of the 1996 Act, FSA modified the Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) to explicitly include a wildlife benefits component, which was given equal weight with soil erosion and water quality benefits.

Also in 1996,USDA initiatedenrollment of selected practices, such as filter strips and riparian buffers, on a continuous basis without competition. An annual incentive payment equal to 20 percent of the annual rental rate was provided for many of these practices. In 1997, FSA created the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), further advancing CRP’s environmental targeting. CREP authorizes State-Federal conservation partnerships that address specific State and nationally significant water quality, soil erosion, and wildlife habitat concerns related to agriculture. CREP enrollment is held on a continuous basis; enrollment may include both general and continuous sign-up practices, and additional financial incentives are generally provided. An up-front signing payment and a practice incentive payment were established in 2000 to further enhance continuous enrollment, including CREP. Descriptions of practices and corresponding payment provisions are provided in the Appendix.

The FY 2001 Agriculture Appropriations Actestablished the Farmable Wetland Program (FWP), which provided for non-competitive enrollment under continuous sign-up provisions and incentives for up to 500,000 acres of small non-flood plain wetlands and adjacent uplands in 6 States (Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana).

-6- 

# The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002extended CRP enrollment authority through 2007 and increased the enrollment cap by 2.8 million acres to 39.2 million acres. Basic cropland eligibility is re-defined to be land that has been cropped or considered cropped in at least 4 of the 6 years preceding enactment. Previously, basic cropland eligibility required cropping in at least 2 of the 5 years preceding sign-up.

In addition, the 2002 Act permitted non-emergency (managed) harvesting of forage (subject to the requirement that environmental benefits be maintained or enhanced) and required equal consideration be given for soil erosion, water quality, and wildlife. Practices eligible under marginal pasture criteria, which have no cropping requirement, are expanded to permit appropriate vegetative covers, rather than requiring the land be planted only to trees.

Other changes included extending eligibility to field remnants made infeasible for farming where buffer practices are enrolled; cropland where enrollment would provide water conservation benefits; and land subject to expiring CRP contracts. The 2002 Act also expanded FWP from the original six States to all States and raised the enrollment cap to 1,000,000 acres, while keeping the 100,000 acre State maximum. While maximum wetland size was increased to 10 acres, only 5 acres are eligible to receive rental payments.

# Re-enrollment and extension of 2007- to 2010-expiring contracts (REX).To ensure that CRP’s benefits continue without interruption, FSA in 2006 offered holders of contracts set to expire between 2007 and 2010 (28 million acres) the opportunity to re-enroll or extend their contracts. FSA divided expiring contracts into five equal-size categories (quintiles) based on environmental benefits index (EBI) scores of the land under contract. FSA offered the quintile with the highest EBI scores new 10 or 15- year contracts. The 2nd 

# highest quintile were offered 5-year contract extensions, the 3 rd 

# highest were offered 4-year extensions, and so forth. This action preserved farmers’ ability to protect America’s most sensitive agricultural lands. Holders of approximately 82% of expiring contract acres were approved for re-enrollment or extension. Updated tables detailing REX results as of February, 2008 are provided in the Appendix.

The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2006established the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program (EFCRP). Provides assistance to timberland damaged by the Gulf Coast Hurricanes of 2005 (mainly Katrina and Rita). Acreage enrolled does not count against the CRP enrollment cap.

The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008extended Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) enrollment authority through September 30, 2012 and requires that enrollment be reduced to no more than 32 million acres beginning October 1, 2009. Other changes include: (1) expansion of Farmable Wetland Pilot Program eligibility criteria; (2) provision of 50-percent cost-share for tree thinning activities; (3) implementation of new payment limitation applicability and new adjusted gross income based eligibility criteria, and updated eligibility to require cropping history in at least 4 of 6 years during 2002 to 2007.

# CRP improves water quality . Fields and buffer strips enrolled in CRP reduce nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sediment losses.



# # Fields enrolled in CRP have less fertilizer applied and permanent vegetative covers prevent runoff. CRP buffer strips capture N, P, and sediment, protecting adjacent waters.



# # Using models developed by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), 615 million pounds less N and 123 million pounds less P were lost due to fields and buffers enrolled in CRP in 2008. On lands enrolled in fields, erosion was reduced in 2008 by 95 and 86 percent, respectively compared with losses that would have occurred if cropped.



# # CRP buffers (grass filterstrips and riparian buffers) intercepted an estimated 343 million pounds of nitrogen (56% of total CRP N reductions) and 70 million pounds of phosphorus (57% of total CRP P reductions) in 2008. -9-

# # CRP grass and tree plantings reduced nitrate-N loss by 120 million pounds in 2008 (20% of total CRP N reductions). Nitrate is biologically available to algae and excess nitrate contributes to hypoxic zone formation in the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, and other waters.



# # Wetlands restored and constructed by CRP improve water quality by converting nitrate nitrogen into benign atmospheric nitrogen through denitrification. In 2008, Iowa’s 40 Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program constructed wetland projects reduced nitrate runoff by nearly 400,000 pounds.

CRP enhances wildlife habitat. Grass, trees, and wetlands established by CRP benefit numerous wildlife species. Several independent studies have identified benefits to bird populations including:



# # Prairie Pothole Ducks– Researchers from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) estimated that the CRP contributed to a net increase of about 2 million additional ducks per year (30 percent increase in duck production) since 1992 in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Northeastern Montana. Populations fluctuate due to changing precipitation patterns, resulting in changes in the annual increase of additional ducks.



# # Ringed-Neck Pheasants– Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. found that, in prime midwest pheasant habitat, a 4 percent increase in CRP herbaceous vegetation was associated with a 22 percent increase in pheasant counts.



# # Sage Grouse –The Washington Department of Natural Resources found CRP enrollment was associated with halting a decline in central Washington sage grouse populations (the drop was 25 percent between 1970 -1988). The study found that another Washington region with low CRP enrollment experienced continued sage grouse population decline.



# # Northern Bobwhite Quail –Mississippi State University found that quail observations were positively related to CRP enrollment. The quail population response varied by cover and region.



# # Grassland Birds– The CRP was identified as a ‘Reason for Hope’ for grassland birds in the “State of the Birds” report by the USFWS, which documented serious declines in grassland birds. Researchers from the USFWS, U.S. Geological Survey, and the University of Montana found that CRP had a large impact on grassland bird populations, including grasshopper sparrow and dicksissel, birds designated as species of continental importance by Partners in Flight. CRP reduces greenhouse gases.CRP sequestered more carbon dioxide (CO2) on private lands than any other federally administered program, 48 million metric tons (mmt), in 2008. In total, CRP resulted in the equivalent of a 56 mmt CO2 reduction, from net CO2 sequestration, reduced fuel use, and avoided nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizer.

CRP protects and enhances soil productivity.CRP conservation covers reduce erosion and protect soil productivity. By targeting fragile cropland and placing these lands into protective conservation covers, the CRP greatly reduces sheet, rill, and wind soil erosion. In 2008, CRP reduced soil erosion by an estimated 445 million tons from 1982 levels.

FSA is using CRP enrollment data, the USDA soils and natural resource inventories, and cooperative agreements with Federal, State, and other partners to refine these performance measures and to estimate the benefits from CRP.

## Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sediment Reduction Estimates

Estimates are based on the results of the modeling done in support of a 2007 study of the water and air quality impacts of the CRP using the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model and the Agricultural Policy Environmental eXtender (APEX) model 1/.

CRP contract data are sorted to identify acres in grass, trees, and buffers. For whole-field (grass and tree plantings), the models are used to estimate per-acre N, P, and sediment losses from CRP fields, as compared with the losses that would occur if those fields instead cropped, i.e., “with-” vs. “without-” CRP scenarios. The impact of CRP is estimated as the difference between these two scenarios. N and P impacts of CRP buffers are estimated based on the sediment, N, and P losses from the (state) average acres buffered by a typical buffer enrollment and trapping efficiency estimates from NRCS. The total impact on sediment, N, and P is the sum of the grass, tree, and buffer impacts.

Carbon Sequestration Estimates

Estimates of total carbon sequestered are developed using CRP contract data. These data are sorted to identify CRP acres in grass, wetlands, and trees. For grasslands and wetlands, estimates of the carbon sequestered per acre are obtained from published reports, and estimates developed by the Agricultural Research Service and U.S. Geological Survey. These data are merged with CRP contract data to estimate total carbon sequestered by CRP grasslands and wetlands. Because the carbon sequestered by forestlands varies by tree species and the age of the stand, the CRP tree data are sorted by region and age. U.S. Forest Service estimates of carbon sequestered per acre by region, tree species, and age are merged with the corresponding data from CRP contract data. Total carbon sequestered is the sum of the grassland, wetland, and forestland estimates.

# CRP fields and buffers help improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay and it’s tributaries:

# Grass filters and riparian buffers (partial field enrollments) intercept sediment, nutrients, and other contaminants before they enter water bodies. In the Chesapeake Bay basin, an estimated 8 million tons of sediment (2/3rds of total CRP sediment reductions), 16 million pounds of nitrogen (57% of total CRP N reductions), and 5 million pounds of phosphorus (70% of total CRP P reductions) were intercepted by CRP buffers in 2008. The remaining reduction in N, P, and sediment losses is due to whole-field CRP enrollment in the basin.



# # Fields enrolled in CRP reduce the nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment lost in runoff and percolate. On average in the U.S., enrollment reduces nitrogen loss 95 percent and phosphorus loss by 86 percent, compared with a no-CRP scenario.

# # Fields enrolled in CRP reduce the nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment lost in runoff and percolate. On average in the U.S., enrollment reduces nitrogen loss by 95 percent and phosphorus loss by 86 percent, compared with losses that would have occurred if these lands had been cropped.



# # Wetlands restored and constructed by CRP improve water quality by converting nitrate nitrogen to benign atmospheric nitrogen through denitrification. In 2008, wetlands constructed under the Iowa Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) prevented nearly 400,000 pounds of nitrate from entering waterways.



# # In prime midwestern ring-necked pheasant habitat, a 4 percent increase in CRP herbaceous vegetation was associated with a 22 percent increase in pheasant counts.

# # CRP buffers intercept sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus from farmed fields. In the Prairie Pothole region in 2008, CRP grass filters and riparian buffers intercepted 20 million tons of sediment (85% of total CRP sediment reductions), 71 million pounds of nitrogen (61% of total CRP N reductions), and 10 million pounds of phosphorus (84% of total CRP P reductions).



# # The CRP was identified as a ‘Reason for Hope’ for grassland birds in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife ‘State of the Birds’ 2009 report.



# # CRP increased Prairie Pothole duck populations by an average of 2 million ducks per year between 1992 and 2004. CRP restores prairie pothole floodwater storage function – USGS estimated that CRP wetland catchments could store approximately 458,000 acre-feet of water.

### 1/ Practices enrolled under CREP may be eligible for additional incentives. 2/ General sign-up practices may be enrolled under certain CREP agreements and may be eligible for additional financial incentives. 3/ Soil rental rates (SRR) are soil-specific maximum rental payment rates for predominant soils (up to 3) for the land offered. Beginning with general sign-up 16, producers offering land for general sign-up enrollment requesting rental payments below the maximum receive higher EBI scores. Participants in continuous sign-up receive the maximum allowable rate. Annual incentives of 20% and 10% of annual rental rate are provided as indicated. Practices enrolled under CREP may be eligible for additional incentives. 4/ For general sign-up practices, up to $2/acre is allowed. For continuous practices, grass plantings are allowed up to $4/acre, tree plantings are allowed up to $7/acre. For CP21 and CP22, if livestock exclusion practices (alternative water sources or fencing) are implemented, up to $9/acre is allowed, and if livestock exclusion is accompanied by tree plantings, up to $10/acre is allowed. (Allowance for general signup reduced to $0/acre in October 2009). 5/ Signing incentive payments (SIP) implemented in June 2000 are one-time up-front bonus payments of $100 per acre. 6/ Practice incentive payments (PIP) implemented in June 2000 equal 40-percent of practice installation cost. 7/ For marginal pasture, a county-specific flat rate is used instead of the SRR. 8/ Incentives approved March 2008.
