USDA Extends Deadline for Emergency Haying of CRP Acres in El Paso and Elbert Counties, Colorado
Denver, Colorado, August 18, 2011 - Trudy Kareus, State Executive Director of the Colorado Farm Service Agency (FSA), today announced that, in response to drought conditions, the National FSA Office has extended the deadline for emergency haying use of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres for El Paso and Elbert counties that are currently approved for emergency haying.
Emergency haying of land enrolled in CRP has been extended through September 30, 2011.
"Eligible producers who are interested in emergency haying of CRP must request approval before haying eligible acreage," said SED Kareus. "Producers must also obtain a modified conservation plan from the Natural Resources Conservation Service that includes haying requirements," she said.
There will be a 25 percent CRP payment reduction for CRP acres used for haying under these emergency provisions.
Upon approval of emergency haying, producers must leave at least 50 percent of each field or contiguous field unhayed for wildlife. If a county is eligible for emergency haying and grazing, the same CRP acreage cannot be both hayed and/or grazed at the same time. For example, if 50 percent of a field or contiguous field is hayed, the remaining unhayed 50 percent cannot be grazed; it must remain unhayed and ungrazed for wildlife.
For more information on emergency haying of CRP acres producers are encouraged to visit their USDA Service Centers or go online to www.fsa.usda.gov.
