So, you're thinking about the future management of the land that you currently have under a CRP contract? You're considering various alternatives, would like to know what others exist, and wonder what impact each might have on land value and good land stewardship? What about the effect, if any, on the future eligibility for USDA farm programs?
AgriLife Extension-coordinated "After CRP: Wildlife, Farming and Ranching" conferences will assist landowners and managers who hold Conservation Reserve Program contracts with the decisions associated with whether or not to re-enroll, and the enterprises and practices to follow. Those contemplating or involved in buying or selling CRP land, agency personnel, educators, and various others with an interest in sound land management will likewise benefit from the program.
Conference partners include Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), and Texas Wildlife Association (TWA).
3 General CEUs will be offered toward Pesticide Applicator re-certification. Lunch, refreshments, and conference materials provided with registration.
For more information about this conference, please contact Ken Cearley at 806-651-5760
