CRP land question

Anonymous-0 · Nov 4, 2009

I was wondering if you could green chop waterways etc that are enrolled in the crop reduction program. I know you can't cut them during nesting season but what about before and after the nesting season? Just wondering. I plan on e-mail the local FSA office but I thought you guys might know.

The only time that you are allowed to hay or graze CRP is when the government has declared a drought emergency and allow CRP to be hayed or grazed.

CRP"s are not all created equal, they may change rules from time to time and sign-up to sign-up. In one of my contracts there are no restrictions on what I do with the waterways, as these acres are not part of the CRP. In one contract, I may hay a third of it each year or all of it every three years. No matter if there are adverse crop conditions. There have been years when my conditions were normal but if a county clear on the other corner of the state had a problem then the whole state could open up, as if all was affected. During Bush"s second election campaign things were sweetened, for a short time, for CRP enrollments.
