Follow Guidelines for Prescribed Burning on CRP Land

摘要

Manhattan, Kansas (March 12, 2008)--Rural landowners listen up - U.S. Department of Agriculture Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts signed since Oct.1, 2000 may require a maintenance burn during the life of the contract. If CRP ground is burned, it can be burned any time between Feb.1 through April 15, said Walt Fick, K-State Research and Extension range management specialist. This means that CRP ground can be burned before most tallgrass rangeland burning begins.
