Kansas lawmakers back CREP water conservation plan
Kansas legislators approved a budget boost to underwrite the federal Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program for the upper Arkansas River corridor. The plan would provide $2 million in state funds to match anticipated federal payments and enroll up to 20,000 acres this year and next, with irrigators paid to stop drawing from irrigation wells in designated southwest Kansas areas. Stakeholders weighed tradeoffs between preserving income for rural communities and reducing crop or grazing acres amid high grain prices and ethanol competition.
