BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is currently accepting applications for certain practices under the continuous Conservation Reserve Program.

Practices eligible for enrollment include grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers and wetland restoration. The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, an offshoot of CRP, is also open for enrollment.

Game & Fish Wildlife Biologist Doug Leier says you’re encouraged to reach out to your local office and see if enrolling in CRP is right for you.

Kevin Kading, North Dakota Game and Fish Department private land section leader, said landowners interested in these programs could also qualify for additional financial incentives and cost-share from Game and Fish.

“Anyone who’s interested in seeing how Game and Fish can help add to these practices, can contact a private land biologist in their area,” Kading said.

Individuals in Barnes, Cass, Dickey, Griggs, LaMoure, Logan, McIntosh, Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Steele, Stutsman, Traill who are interested can contact Renae Schultz at 701-320-4695.

If you’re in the Harvey region, contact Terry Oswald, Jr. at 701-399-9958.

You can listen to Doug Leier every Thursday at 7:35 AM with JD in the Morning on Big Dog 95.5 FM.
