The Natural Resources Conservation Service's Conservation Stewardship Program will provide about $175 million in funding nationwide for up to 12.6 million additional acres enrollment this year. Although applications are accepted all year, farmers, ranchers and forestland owners interested in CSP should submit applications by June 14 to their local NRCS office to ensure they are considered for this year's funding. Many of the CSP enhancements improve soil quality, which helps land become more resilient to extreme weather. Several other improvements are available for producers, including intensive rotational grazing, intercropping and wildlife friendly fencing. For more information, contact the USDA NRCS Crossville Field Office on Old Jamestown Highway at 931-484-5442
