(Area) General signup for the Conservation Reserve Program opened January 31st and runs through March 11th.
Bryan Hayes with the Iowa DNR outlines some of the benefits of the program. “The Iowa DNR likes to promote the conservation reserve program. We know how important it is to wildlife and the pheasants and quail and other wildlife. The conservation reserve acres are important not only to wildlife, but with soil savings and erosion control that comes with the conservation reserve acres.”
Approximately 119,000 acres in Iowa enrolled in CRP will expire this year.
