Jk 7 ' v f'm 'I i ,4 I Hi " approved Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer recently announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has authorized certain cer-tain acreage enrolled under the Conservation Reserve Program to be available for hay and forage after the primary nesting season ends for grass-nesting birds. "This action will provide much needed feed and forage while maintaining the conservation conserva-tion benefits from the nation's premier conservation program, " Schafer said. "Eligible farmers and ranchers will be able to plan for harvest of forage after the end of the primary nesting season this summer." Prices for most field crops have advanced to record or near record levels in recent months, reflecting strong demand, tight supplies, and competition for acreage. The increased demand for commodities and resulting higher prices has impacted the livestock industry in particular. More than 24 million acres of land enrolled in CRP will be eligible for this critical feed use program. USDA estimates that this program will make available up to 18 million tons of forage worth $1.2 billion. "In authorizing this critical use of CRP acres for forage, USDA is also taking strong measures to preserve CRP's environmental benefits," Schafer or SeSSthdrf After Spinning her W001' Tara W'ndS 3 ba" f yam b6f0re 3 CrWd theprimarynestingseason.Also, of onlookers. some ot the eligible land or torage wildlife and any land that is used ! a conservation plan.
