WASHINGTON, May 15, 2019 – USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup and will offer exten-sions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs.

“USDA offers a variety of con-servation programs to farmers and ranchers, and the Conservation Re-serve Program is an important tool for private lands management,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce. “CRP allows agricultural producers to set aside land to re-duce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.”

FSA stopped accepting applica-tions last fall for the continuous CRP signup when 2014 Farm Bill authority expired. Since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill last December, Fordyce said FSA has carefully an-alyzed the language and determined that a limited signup prioritizing water-quality practices furthers conservation goals and makes sense for producers as FSA works to fully implement the program.

Continuous CRP SignupThis year’s signup will in-

clude such practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of prac-tices approved for this program at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/As-sets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/NewsRoom/news-releases/pdf/SU52%20practices.pdf.

Continuous signup enrollment contracts are 10 to 15 years in du-ration. Soil rental rates will be set at 90 percent of the existing rates. Incentive payments will not be offered for these contracts.

Conservation ReserveEnhancement Program Signup

FSA will also reopen signup for

existing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) agreements. Fact sheets on cur-rent CREP agreements are avail-able at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conserva-tion-programs/conservation-re-serve-enhancement/index.

Other CRP Signup OptionsFordyce said FSA plans to open

a CRP general signup in Decem-ber 2019 and a CRP Grasslands signup later.

CRP Contract ExtensionsA one-year extension will be of-

fered to existing CRP participants who have expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eli-gible for an extension will receive a letter describing their options.

Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which pro-vides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a socially disadvantaged group.

More InformationOn December 20, 2018, Pres-

ident Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and sup-porting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these changes as quickly and effec-tively as possible, and today’s up-dates are part of meeting that goal.

Producers interested in applying for continuous CRP practices, in-cluding those under existing CREP agreements, or who need an exten-sion, should contact their USDA service center beginning June 3. To locate your local FSA office, visit www.farmers.gov. More informa-tion on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.

New this week:THE JOY OF FALLING

by Lindsay Harrel*It has been fifteen months

since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Mean-while, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration.

But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Before Brent and Wes died, they had signed up for a race of a lifetime – an ultra-marathon in beautiful New Zealand. Eva begs Angela to run the race with her in their husbands’ place, and Angela finally agrees, hoping to finally understand her husband’s choices.

Training is exhausting, and the race is even more demanding. Their journey grows more complicated by the presence of two men – Marc is Brent’s best friend who is run-ning the race with Eva and Angela, and Simon King is a writer who is covering their inspiring story. With every step, Eva and Angela must ask themselves questions that they haven’t had the courage to ask before. As the women literally put one foot in front of the other, they wonder: Is it possible to find their way forward in hope?

OF LITERATUREAND LATTES

by Katherine Reay*After fleeing her hometown

three years earlier, Alyssa Harrison never planned to return. Then the Silicon Valley start-up she worked for collapsed and turned her world upside down. She is broke, under FBI investigation, and without a place to go. Having exhausted every option, she comes home to Winsome, Illinois, to regroup and move on as quickly as possible. Yet, as friends and family welcome her back, Alyssa begins to see a place for herself in this small Midwestern community.

Jeremy Mitchell moved from Seattle to Winsome to be near his daughter and to open the coffee

shop he’s been dreaming of for years. Problem is, the business is bleeding money – and he’s not quite sure why. When he meets Alyssa, he senses an immediate connection, but what he needs most is someone to help him save his floundering business. After asking for her help, he wonders if something might grow between them – but forces be-yond their control soon complicate their already complex lives, and the future they both hoped for is not at all what they anticipated.

With the help of Winsome’s small-town charm and quirky resi-dents, Alyssa and Jeremy discover the beauty and romance of second chances.

THE TIME OFJACOB’S TROUBLE

by Donna VanLiere*A typical day at work turns into

a nightmare for Emma Grady when her favorite patient and several colleagues vanish in front of her. Fear turns to chaos as Emma begins the frantic race from Brooklyn to Queens, anxious to discover if her boyfriend is safe. Subways are closed, graves are open, and countless people have inexplicably disappeared. Mayhem erupts as terror grips the residents of New York City.

What could make so many vanish in a moment? And not just in New York, but all over the globe? Emma wonders if this is the predicted end of the world and begins a desperate search for answers.

This page-turning story will take you on a riveting journey from New York City to Israel, and in the final chapters, Donna turns to the pages of the Bible, where you’ll learn that God has made known to us “the end from the beginning,” and that things aren’t spiraling downward but are actually looking up.FOR LOVE AND COUNTRY

by Candace Waters*When Lottie Palmer runs away

the day before her wedding to join the Navy WAVES program, she not only leaves behind a fiancé, but also the privileged lifestyle that she has known as the daughter of one of the most important manufacturers in Detroit’s auto industry. Spurred by a desire to contribute meaningfully to the war effort, Lottie pours all of her focus and determination into be-coming the best airplane mechanic in the division, working harder than she’s ever worked before.

Her grit impresses her handsome instructor, Captain Luke Wood-ward. But when the war ramps up and she is assigned to Pearl Harbor, she must fight her growing feelings for Luke and navigate her role as one of the only female mechanics among a group of men, all while finding out what it means to be your own hero.

Illuminating the story of a wom-an who sets out to make a differ-ence in the world by following her heart, Candace Waters draws on her extensive research, transporting us from Detroit to New York, and San Diego to Pearl Harbor during the tumultuous time of World War II.*These titles are printed in large print.

Those Cotton Fields Back Home

by Dr. Shane McLellanMcLennan Co. Extension Agent

Texas leads the U.S. in cotton production, and it is our leading cash crop, ranking only behind the beef and nursery industries in total cash receipts. Texas annually produces about 25% of the entire U.S. crop and plants over 6 million acres! That’s over 9,000 square miles of cotton fields. We’ve all heard the slogan “Texas is like a whole other country”, and from a cotton production perspective it’s certainly fitting. Almost anywhere you travel in Texas, you’ll be in cotton country.
