Citrus Land Enrollment in Conservation Reserve Program: Farmer Support and Ecology.

This new law expands the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to allow citrus landowners to enroll their land and receive payments for taking it out of production. The goal is to support farmers dealing with citrus diseases like *huanglongbing* and protect ecologically significant areas at risk of development. Participants must remove diseased, unused groves to qualify for the program.
Key points
Citrus landowners can now receive federal payments for converting their land from farming to conservation uses.
The program prioritizes land affected by *huanglongbing* (citrus greening disease), land at risk of development, or land important for wildlife habitat.
A cap of 100,000 acres is set for this specific enrollment through 2028, and payments are exempt from standard income limits for farm programs.
