LITTLE ROCK – The deadline for Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) Classic applications to be considered for funding in fiscal year 2021 is April 16, 2021.
USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to invest up to $750 million for new enrollments and renewals in fiscal year 2021. CSP offers additional opportunities to expand on existing conservation efforts by offering conservation practices, enhancements, bundles, and other conservation activities.
“CSP continues to be a very effective tool for private landowners working to achieve their conservation and management goals,” said Mike Sullivan, Arkansas NRCS state conservationist.
While applications are accepted throughout the year, interested producers should submit applications to their local NRCS office by April 16, 2021, to ensure their applications are considered for 2021 CSP Classic funding.
