Farmers face drought impact on CRP grazing rights
The drought may affect CRP land used for grazing as producers could lease only three fourths of their enrolled ground. Payments drop 25 percent during grazing, making the option costly. Local FSA officials in Kansas explain approval criteria, application needs, and the potential grazing window through August 31.

Emergency CRP grazing aims to aid drought tied cattle industry
USDA allows early CRP land grazing amid nesting concerns for upland birds, a move hailed by local cattlemen who fear details like fencing rules and CRP payment forfeitures. Palco cattleman Everett McKenna says feed is scarce as his herd is stocked at half normal rate, cows crying for feed, and beef prices drop, offering little hope for CRP haying or grazing due to unpalatable CRP grass.

It would create penalties up to 10 000 dollars and centralize complaints with the attorney general's office while stressing public education on technology and spam control.
