Higher Payments and New Funding for Conservation Reserve Program Landowners.
This bill significantly increases financial incentives for farmers and landowners participating in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). It raises the maximum annual rental payment limit from $50,000 to $125,000, making the program more appealing to larger operations. Furthermore, it introduces cost-sharing payments for establishing grazing infrastructure, such as fences and water systems, promoting sustainable land management and easier reenrollment.
