Into CRP
Secretary Dan Glickman said,
“I am confident this will allow
the department to continue to
enroll acres that provide signifi.
cant environmental benefits rel
ative to cost.”
All land that is enrolled in
the program must compete for
acceptance based on an environ
mental benefit index that USDA
says will ensure fair and equal
consideration for all offers and
all types of land. Producers will
be notified of acreage acceptance
by early February.
