USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has extended the deadline for new Conservation Stewardship Program enrollments for Fiscal Year 2014. NRCS Chief Jason Weller says this extension will make it possible for more farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to apply for this important program. Weller says these good stewards ensure their operations are more productive and sustainable over the long run – and CSP can help them take their operations to the next level of natural resource management. Eligible landowners and operators in all states and territories may now enroll in CSP through February 7th. Learn more at www dot NRCS dot USDA dot gov (www.nrcs.usda.gov).
