Agencies Agree On Conservation Rules

“USDA has reached agreement with the Office of Management & Budget on the rules for the Conservation Stewardship Program and will hold a sign-up for the program in August, a senior USDA official said today. The Conservation Stewardship Program, written into the 2008 farm bill by Senate Agriculture Chairman Tom Harkin, will pay farmers for increasing their level of conservation practices, maintaining existing conservation activities and adopting resource-conserving crop rotations. USDA Natural Resources and Conservation Service Chief Dave White made the announcement to a National Association of Conservation Districts meeting in Washington.” (Source: Congressional Daily Online)

This could be good for all of us that have permissions to hunt farm land. Rotating crops is great.
