A Farm Service Agency specialist says more farmers are eligible for emergency haying and grazing of Conservation Reserve Program acres because of widespread drought.
John Palmer with Wisconsin FSA tells Brownfield CRP participants can hay or graze the land without a payment reduction and, “If that CRP participant doesn’t farm otherwise, they could sell those rights for haying and grazing to a producer in need.”
Palmer says landowners will need to reach out to the local FSA office and file a request to hay and graze the acreage.
