Conservation Security ProgramGeneral Program Information | Sign-Up and Eligibility Information | Program Contacts | News Releases and Features General Program Information
CSP recognizes the efforts of farmers who have been practicing conservation and taking care of the land for some time. By meeting specific eligibility criteria, farmers may apply for payments on productive land at several levels. Payments increase with the amount of conservation work that has been done. Farms located in selected watersheds will be eligible to apply for CSP. The program will continue to be offered each year, on a rotational basis, in as many watersheds as funding allows.

The Conservation Security Program (CSP) is a voluntary stewardship program
that provides financial and technical assistance to promote the conservation and
improvement of soil, water, air, energy, plant and animal life, and other
conservation purposes on Tribal and private working lands. Working lands include
cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved pasture, and range land, as well as
forested land that is an incidental part of an agriculture operation.
