NRCS Conservation Programs
Minnesota
NRCS's natural resources conservation programs help people reduce soil erosion,
enhance water supplies, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, and reduce
damages caused by floods and other natural disasters. Public benefits include enhanced
natural resources that help sustain agricultural productivity and environmental quality
while supporting continued economic development, recreation, and scenic beauty.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 (enacted on February 7, 2014) made several changes to the Conservation
Programs reported here. The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP), Grassland Reserve
Program (GRP), and Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) were merged into the new Agricultural
Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). The Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP) and
Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative (CBWI) were merged into the new Regional Conservation
Partnership Program (RCPP). The Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) was merged into the
existing Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

Financial Information
The Financial Information section presents data from the USDA Office of the Chief
Financial Officer's Financial Management Modernization Initiative (FMMI) system and
its predecessor, the Foundation Financial Information System (FFIS). The Financial Information
presented here is Total Obligations which the Government Accountability Office defines as
binding agreements (orders
placed, contracts awarded, services rendered, etc.) that will result in outlays,
immediately or in the future. Before obligations can be incurred, budgetary resources
must be made available by Congress. The obligations displayed for each year are the total
obligations reported as of the end of each fiscal year. Subsequent adjustments after the
close of the fiscal year are not included.
There are three categories of Total Obligations presented below:
- Technical Assistance (TA) refers to the scientific expertise, natural resource
data, tools, and technology that USDA personnel provide to help producers, landowners,
and communities develop conservation plans and implement conservation practices to solve
natural resource problems at the field, operation, or larger landscape scales. NRCS is the
Federal lead for providing technical assistance for USDA and does so through various
programs using NRCS staff and private Technical Service Providers (TSPs).
- Financial Assistance (FA) denotes payments (cost-share payments,
easement payments, rental payments, etc.) that help producers and landowners pay the costs
of implementing conservation measures, which can provide both on-site and off-site
conservation benefits.
- Reimbursable funds can be for Technical or Financial Assistance but are received
from sources other than appropriations. They can also be transfers from other Federal
agencies. For example, the Farm Service Agency administers the Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) and reimburses NRCS for providing technical support functions.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, 2012-2020 data from Financial Management Modernization Initiative (FMMI);
2005-2011 data from Foundation Financial Information System (FFIS).
• Totals may not exactly match sum over funds due to rounding.
• Negative numbers reflect fund adjustments made throughout the year.
• Other includes Biomass R&D, Colorado River Basin Salinity Control, Feral Swine Eradication and Control
Pilot Program, Forestry Incentives Program, Fund for Rural America, Great Plains Conservation,
Gulf Coast Restoration Revolving Fund,
Resource Conservation and Development Program, Rural Abandoned Mine, SWCA, Urban Agriculture and Innovative
Production Program, VPAP, Waterbank Program, and other accounting and adjustment funds.
• In 2014 CRP changed from a reimbursable to a direct program. Before FY 2014, CRP only
includes reimbursable technical assistance funds used to plan and apply conservation practices.
Data shown here do not include financial obligations made by the Farm Service Agency to landowners.
• For GRP, except for the minor amount of due diligence funds administered by NRCS,
the Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers the
majority of GRP funds for both easements and rental contracts.
• EWP, WRHB, and WFPO include American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds in FY 2009 and FY 2010.
• EQIP includes General, Ground and Surface Water
Conservation and 1996 Farm Bill funds.
• Prior to the February 7, 2014 enactment of the Agricultural Act of 2014, AWEP and WHIP were authorized to
obligate funds to new contracts. Upon enactment, the 2014 Act authorized the use of unobligated funds remaining from
2009 through 2013 to complete implementation of contracts entered into prior to the date of enactment, including the
provision of technical assistance.
• The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Act) authorized the use of prior year WRP, FRPP, and GRP
funds remaining from 2009 through 2013 to carry out contracts, agreements, or easements entered into prior
to the date of enactment of the 2014 Act, including the provision of technical assistance, provided that no
such contract, agreement, or easement is modified so as to increase the amount of payment received. Pursuant
to this authority, the funds obligated in FY 2014 were used to carry out acquisition and restoration activities
on those prior contracts, agreements, or easements.

• In 2014 CRP changed from a reimbursable to a direct program. Before FY 2014, CRP only
includes reimbursable technical assistance funds used to plan and apply conservation practices.
Data shown here do not include financial obligations made by the Farm Service Agency to landowners.
• For GRP, except for the minor amount of due diligence funds administered by NRCS,
the Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers the
majority of GRP funds for both easements and rental contracts.
• EWP, WRHB, and WFPO include American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds in FY 2009 and FY 2010.
• EQIP includes General, Ground and Surface Water
Conservation and 1996 Farm Bill funds.
• CTA, PMC, SNOW, and SOIL also include multi-year funds.
• Prior to the February 7, 2014 enactment of the Agricultural Act of 2014, AWEP and WHIP were authorized to
obligate funds to new contracts. Upon enactment, the 2014 Act authorized the use of unobligated funds remaining from
2009 through 2013 to complete implementation of contracts entered into prior to the date of enactment, including the
provision of technical assistance.
• The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Act) authorized the use of prior year WRP, FRPP, and GRP
funds remaining from 2009 through 2013 to carry out contracts, agreements, or easements entered into prior
to the date of enactment of the 2014 Act, including the provision of technical assistance, provided that no
such contract, agreement, or easement is modified so as to increase the amount of payment received. Pursuant
to this authority, the funds obligated in FY 2014 were used to carry out acquisition and restoration activities
on those prior contracts, agreements, or easements.

Conservation Practice Implementation Reports |
Conservation practices are planned and applied
at the land unit level. The land unit is the smallest unit of land that has a
permanent or contiguous boundary, a common land cover and land management, and a common owner or a
common producer. The following chart/table combinations include data for the time period from
fiscal year 2005 through fiscal year 2020. Data entry processes differed prior to 2005 and do not
provide comparable data.
Under the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), practice bundles and practice enhancements are funded
in addition to conservation practices. For brevity, conservation practices, bundles, and enhancements
are often referred to collectively as “practices.”
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
As conservation practices are measured in different units (acres, feet, square feet, etc.),
the challenge for reporting performance at various levels is how to aggregate across practices.
Although practices may affect resources beyond the land unit boundary, or be applied only on part
of the land unit, the land unit does provide a common metric to aggregate over practices since each
applied practice is associated with a specific land unit. Analysis of the data reveals that most
practices are measured in acres and most of the practice applied amounts match the land unit acres
of the field on which the practice was applied. Therefore, land unit acreage is the metric on which
the acres of land receiving conservation treatment are calculated.
With the exception of CSP, totals presented here are not comparable to program enrollment acres
or contract acres.
Acres Receiving Conservation by Program
|
The following chart/table combination summarizes acres receiving conservation by
program and fiscal year. For the Conservation Stewardship Program, acres represent contract
acres and count represents contracts in the fiscal year, excluding renewal contracts.
For all other programs, acres represent land unit acres and count represents practice counts.
Here, land unit acres are counted once for each conservation program that has been used to apply one or
more practices on that land unit in a given fiscal year. Therefore, land unit acres may be counted multiple
times within each fiscal year - once for each program that has been used to apply at least one practice.
Land unit acres may also be counted multiple times across fiscal years.
|
Only programs representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, programs not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Notes:
• Data Sources: CSP Program - USDA-NRCS, ProTracts Program Contracts System, October 2020 (excludes renewal contracts);
all other programs - USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs within each fiscal year
and across fiscal years, but are only counted once per program per fiscal year.
• EWP, WRHB, and WFPO include conservation practices funded by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act in FY 2009 and FY 2010.
• EQIP includes General and Ground and Surface Water Conservation practices.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
Land Unit Acres Receiving Conservation
|
The following table summarizes the land units treated in a fiscal year. Here, a land unit is counted
only once in a fiscal year, regardless of how many practices were applied on it, or how many conservation
programs were used to apply practices. These data therefore reflect the geographic extent of the land
treated with conservation practices during a fiscal year. Given that multiple conservation programs can
be used to treat the resource concerns associated with a specific land unit, the percentage of land units
(acres and number) that are treated by more than one conservation program within a fiscal year is also shown.

Land Unit Acres Receiving Conservation by Practice
|
The following set of chart/table combinations present the conservation practice data grouped by purpose:
Cropland Soil Quality, Cropland Soil Health, Cropland with Applied Soil Health Management System (SHMS),
Fish & Wildlife Habitat, Forest Land Conservation, Grazing Land Conservation,
Irrigation Efficiency, Water Quality, and Wetlands. Any practices not included in one of these groups are
included in an All Other category. Data for practices in the All Other category can be
downloaded
in the Conservation Programs Profile csv file.
Note that there is some overlap between these
groupings, since some practices address multiple resource concerns.
Here land unit acres are counted each time a practice is applied on that land unit in the fiscal year.
Therefore land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices, practice groupings, and fiscal years.
To learn more about specific conservation practices, see the
National Handbook of Conservation Practices.
Conservation Practices Related to Cropland Soil Quality |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Cropland Soil Quality Management.
The six components of soil quality management are: enhancing organic matter, avoiding excessive tillage,
managing pests and nutrients efficiently, preventing soil compaction, keeping the ground covered, and
diversifying cropping systems. Choosing specific practices within each component depends on the
situation since different types of soil respond differently to the same practice. Each combination
of soil type and land use calls for a different set of practices to enhance soil quality. Note that only
practices applied on cropland or hay land are included.
|
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, practices not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Cropland Soil Quality Management were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of
cropland treated with soil quality practices by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Conservation Practices Related to Cropland Soil Health & Sustainability |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Cropland Soil Health & Sustainability.
This measure is intended as a step-wise measure to show progress towards implementing a Soil Health Management
System (SHMS). A SHMS is defined as a collection of NRCS conservation practices that focuses on maintaining or
enhancing soil health by addressing four soil health management principles: minimize disturbance, maximize soil cover,
maximize biodiversity and maximize presence of living roots. Note that only practices applied on cropland are included.
Also at least two eligible conservation practices or a Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) bundle must be applied
during the fiscal year. Eligible conservation practices are those that indicate progress toward a SHMS and include:
Conservation Crop Rotation, Residue and Tillage Management (No Till and Reduced Till), Cover Crop, and corresponding CSP
activities and bundles. Some CSP bundles count as two eligible practices.
|
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, practices not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Conservation Practices Related to a Cropland Soil Health Management System (SHMS) |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Cropland SHMS or cropland on which a system
of practices to sustain or improve soil health was applied during the fiscal year. A SHMS is defined as a collection
of NRCS conservation practices that focuses on maintaining or enhancing soil health by addressing four soil health
management principles: minimize disturbance, maximize soil cover, maximize biodiversity and maximize presence of living
roots. Note that only practices applied on cropland are included. Three eligible core conservation practices must be in
place. They are: Conservation Crop Rotation, Residue and Tillage Management (No Till or Reduced Till), Cover Crop, and
corresponding CSP activities and bundles. Some CSP bundles fulfil the requirements of a Cropland SHMS.
|
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, practices not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Cropland SHMS were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of
cropland treated with soil quality practices by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Conservation Practices Related to Fish & Wildlife Habitat |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Fish & Wildlife Habitat Management.
The environment that NRCS helps its clients conserve, maintain, and improve is also habitat for
Fish & Wildlife Habitat and other biological resources. While every practice and management action taken
on the land has some effect on biological resources, the following practices are specifically related to
Fish & Wildlife habitat.
|
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, practices not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• Watering Facility (614) is not included in the above table. It is included for
the purposes of this report in the All Other Practices category.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Fish & Wildlife habitat Management were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of the
land treated with fish & wildlife habitat practices by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years,
but are only counted once per program per fiscal year.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes unique land unit acres for practices related to
Fish & Wildlife Habitat Management.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across fiscal years, but are only counted
once per fiscal year.
Increases in FY 2016 to FY 2017 include the effect of adding CSP data.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Forest Land Conservation were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of forest and grazed
forest land treated with conservation practices by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Grazing Land Conservation were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of grazing
land treated with conservation practices by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Conservation Practices Related to Irrigation Efficiency |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Irrigation Efficiency.
The goal of these practices is to assist in properly designing, installing and maintaining
irrigation systems to ensure uniform and efficient distribution of water, thereby conserving
water and protecting water resources. Note that pumping plant (533) installation is only counted
when applied on cropland or hay land.
|
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, practices not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Irrigation Efficiency were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of
land treated to improve irrigation efficiency by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Conservation Practices Related to Water Quality |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Water Quality.
Water quality is an indicator of the health of our environment and reflects what occurs on the
land. The primary water quality issues from agriculture are sediment, nutrients,
pesticides, pathogens, and in some parts of the country, salinity. Using conservation practices
to improve land in an environmentally sound manner will result in better water quality for drinking,
recreation, wildlife, fisheries and industry.
|
Only practices representing a significant portion of the total for
the period are included in the above chart. If applicable, practices not included are summed into the All Other
category.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across practices
and fiscal years.
• CSP practices and enhancements are applied under the CSP program or the CSP component of the RCPP program starting in FY 2017.
• CSP enhancements associated with a specific conservation practice are aggregated onto one line.
• Refer to Enhancement Summary at top of document for additional information on enhancements.
To learn more about CSP bundles and enhancements, please see
CSP FY 2019 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2017-FY 2019
and
CSP FY 2020 Enhancements and Bundles for FY 2020 data.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
|
The following table includes program information under which the above practices related to
Water Quality were applied. These data reflect the geographic extent of
land treated with water quality practices by each conservation program during a fiscal year.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years, but are only counted
once per program per fiscal year.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across programs and fiscal years,
but are only counted once per program per fiscal year.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.

The following table includes unique land unit acres for practices related to
Water Quality.
Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across fiscal years, but are only counted
once per fiscal year.
Increases in FY 2016 to FY 2017 include the effect of adding CSP data.

Conservation Practices Related to Wetlands |
The following chart and table includes practices that are related to Wetlands.
Healthy wetland ecosystems function to modulate drought and floods, provide wildlife
habitat, filter pollutants, retain sediment, store carbon, and cycle nutrients. The
goal of the wetland conservation practices is to restore, enhance and protect the
quality and quantity of wetlands.

Notes:
• Data Source: USDA-NRCS, National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD), October 2020.
• Land unit acres may be counted multiple times across fiscal years.
*Count in this table refers to the number of records in the National Planning and Agreements Database (NPAD).
NPAD contains a record for each time a practice is applied to a planning land unit. Counts may differ from practice
counts based on contract items in the ProTracts database because each contract item in ProTracts can cover multiple
planning land units.
