Conservation Security Program Signup Extended to May 30 in Sandusky Watershed
May 16, 2008
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended until May 30 the deadline for farmers in the Sandusky Watershed to apply for the Conservation Security Program (CSP).
The Sandusky Watershed includes certain farms located in eastern Ottawa County and western Erie County, which are located in the Ninth Congressional District.
Under the Conservation Security Program, a voluntary program, producers who practice outstanding stewardship on working agricultural land can receive payments as high as $15,000 a year for a five-year period, depending on their level of participation. Payments can vary depending on the size of the farm and could be subject to contract payment caps.
