The U.S. Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers and ranchers in Kansas to participate in the Conservation Stewardship Program through a current Act Now signup.
SALINA, KANSAS, Friday, December 13, 2024 ‒ The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is encouraging farmers and ranchers in Kansas to participate in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) through a current Act Now signup. Producers who operate forestland are encouraged to apply at their local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Service Center by Friday, April 18, 2025.
CSP offers technical and financial assistance to help agricultural and forest producers take their conservation efforts to the next level. The program is designed to compensate agricultural and forest
producers who agree to increase their level of conservation by adopting additional conservation activities and maintaining their baseline level of conservation.
Act Now funding allows applications to be processed more quickly by evaluating applications in the order received. Applications are preapproved based on fund availability if the ranking score is at or above the threshold. Applications received after the deadline will be considered for the next funding period if funds are still available.
To learn more about NRCS programs, producers can contact their local USDA Service Center. Producers can also apply for NRCS programs, manage conservation plans and contracts, and view and print conservation maps by logging into their farmers.gov account. If you don’t have an account, sign up today.
