View Rule

The Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, requires producers participating in the different programs administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to abide by certain conditions (hereafter "conservation compliance provisions") on any land owned or farmed that is highly erodible or that is considered a wetland.  Producers participating in these programs and any person or entity considered to be an "affiliated person" of the producer are subject to these conservation compliance provisions. The regulations for conservation compliance are in 7 CFR part 12. Conservation compliance requires producers to apply a conservation system if they plant annually tilled crops on highly erodible soil and prohibits producers from planting an agricultural commodity on a converted wetland or converting a wetland to make possible the production of an agricultural commodity. The final rule finalizes changes to 7 CFR part 12 related to how USDA makes wetland determinations under the conservation compliance provisions to ensure that the regulations are consistent with the current technical standards being applied.
