Farmers and ranchers interested in participating in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) for the 2014 fiscal year have until this Friday, February 7, to complete the initial application to enroll.  The initial application is easy to fill out, and can be done at your local NRCS office.  To locate the NRCS office nearest to you, click here.

The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition issued an information alert (PDF available here) that contains helpful details for producers interested in enrolling.  You can also find information on enrolling here.

For more about the Conservation Stewardship program in general, visit our website and our Grassroots Guide, which will be updated to reflect the changes to CSP that will result once the new Farm Bill is signed into law.
