Wildlife groups praise USDA for holding general CRP sign up (KFGO 8/20)
Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever praised USDA for offering its first general Conservation Reserve Program sign up in four years this month. "This is great news for wetlands conservation, waterfowl habitat, waterfowl and waterfowl hunters," Ducks Unlimited CEO Dale Hall said in a press release. "Maintaining CRP acres will translate into more ducks in the fall flight across the country each year." "This new general signup is critical to prevent us from losing more acres and for preventing continued population decline
of the birds many of us love to pursue each autumn," said Dave Nomsen, Pheasants Forever vice president of government affairs, in a press release. Sign up runs through Aug. 27, with contracts to take effect Oct. 1. The last general sign up was March 27, 2006, through April 28, 2006, said Greg Anderson, agricultural program specialist for the Farm Service Agency in
Minnesota.
