    Roger Chase—State Executive Director—Farm Service Agency in South Dakota—is here to explain how the USDA Accepted nearly 1.8 million acres thru 2025—Conservation Reserve Program Enrollment

    South Dakota-Kansas and Colorado hold the top three slots for accepted acres for all 2025 CRP enrollment opportunities---and the American Relief Act 2025—extended provisions for CRP thru September 30th---

    CRP is one of the largest voluntary private-lands conservation programs in the US---it was originally intended to primarily control soil erosion and potentially stabilize commodity prices by taking marginal lands out of production, the program has evolved over the years---providing many conservation and economic benefits.

      Share with us what it means to those in South Dakota---as well as Kansas and Colorado---

---------------Roger-----------

       Signed into law in 1985---who in South Dakota would have been interested in the program---and economically what will it mean to them in 2025---

-----------Roger-----------

      The total acreage is capped at 27 million acres for fiscal year 2025 of which 1.8 million was available for enrollment after offsetting for expiring acres and an administrative reserve, making for a highly competitive process for those who submitted offers for CRP.
