Farm Bill Allowing Early Termination for Certain CRP Contracts
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 09/23/2014

The Farm Service Agency announced that producers with acres under contract through the Conservation Reserve Program can apply for early contract termination, as required by the 2014 farm bill. The deadline to request early CRP contract termination is January 30, 2015.

The effective date for early termination is no earlier than October 1. The CRP contract must been in effect for at least five years and other conditions must be met. The farm bill identifies 10 exceptions whereby land will not be eligible for the early-out provisions.

Once a CRP contract termination request is approved by the FSA County Committee, the decision cannot be reversed and the contract cannot be reinstated. Producers must meet conservation compliance provisions for all land that will be returned to production.

For more information on or to determine eligibility for early termination of existing CRP contracts, contact your local FSA office.
