Missouri producers who have an active 2018 Conservation Stewardship Program Classic, CSP- Renewal or CSP Regional Conservation Partnership Program contract that will be expiring at the end of 2022, have until April 15, 2022, to apply for potential renewal of their contract for an additional five years. According to Susan Mammen, the CSP Coordinator for NRCS in Missouri, a total of 703 CSP-Classic, CSP Renewal and CSP-RCPP contracts are set to expire at the end of the year which help treat natural resource concerns on about 265,000 Missouri acres. Through CSP, agricultural producers and forest landowners earn payments for actively managing, maintaining, and expanding conservation activities like cover crops, pollinator and beneficial insect habitat, and soil health building activities- all while maintaining active agricultural production on their land. Producers interested in contract renewals or applying for CSP for the first time should contact their local NRCS office in Houston at (417) 967-2028 or in Rolla at (573) 364-2088.
