Title: Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) 
Abstract:

The interim rule implemented changes to Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) required by the 2014 Farm Bill. CRP assists producers to conserve and improve soil, water, and wildlife resources by converting highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage to a long-term vegetative cover. The 2014 Farm Bill required changes included providing an "early out" for contract cancellations in 2015, removing the requirement for a payment reduction for emergency haying and grazing, and allowing non-cropland (grasslands) in CRP. CRP is a Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) program administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
