CRP ACTIVITY

• FY 2003 continuous CRP activity has increased and is now projected to match FY 2002

continuous CRP enrollment.

• 1,995,000 acres were accepted in general sign-up 26, held in May-June 2003. Through

October, contracts on 1,533,000 acres have been recorded in active contract data base.

• Enrollment of new marginal pasture practices has begun (4,368 acres of wildlife

habitat buffers and 2,051 acres of wetland buffers).

• 32,377 acres of continuous wetland restoration practice (CP23) have been enrolled.

• Farmable Wetland Program eligibility has been expanded to all States.
General Signup. Producers 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 EBI ranking. Sign-up 26 results are not yet complete.

Continuous (Non-CREP) Sign-up. Producers with eligible lands may enroll certain high priority conservation

practices, such as filterstrips 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 onetime up-front financial incentives. Sign-up 27 results are not yet complete, sign-up 28 in progress.

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Under CREP agreements, Federal/State partnerships,

currently in 24 States, implement projects designed to address specific environmental objectives through targeted

CRP enrollments. Sign-up is held on a continuous basis, general signup practices may be included, and additional

financial incentives are generally provided. Sign-up 27 results not yet complete, sign-up 28 in progress.

Farmable Wetland Program enrollment began in June 2001 under modified continuous sign-up provisions. 

Sign-up 27 results not yet complete, sign-up 28 in progress.

The accompanying tables are based on contract data developed and maintained in CRP data files by USDA

Service Centers as of October 31, 2003, and are based on the physical location of the CRP contracted land. Some

adjustments have been made to correct miscoded data in the contract files. Farmable Wetland Program contracts

are not included in the continuous signup tables.
