Join the hundreds of Maryland farmers who have signed
up for Maryland’s Conservation Reserve Enhancement
Program (CREP), a voluntary initiative that pays farmers
and landowners a one-time sign-up bonus along with
attractive rental rates to plant buffers or create wedands
to protect local streams and provide wildlife habitat. It’s a
good program that just keeps getting better.
If you are a farmer or landowner interested in improving

tent income on enrolled land, call your soil conservation

If you’ve got a lot of land to cover
and hard work to do, take a Polaris
RANGER or BIG BOSS 6x6.
Nothing beats them for farm work,
construction, hunting and other
recreational uses. Your choice.
