Position Statement: Conservation Reserve Program

The Washington State Hay Growers Association supports the continuation of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). We oppose the harvesting of CRP lands for private or public use because of the impact to the seasonal hay market price. We oppose allowing haying or grazing of any acreage under federal programs for which a grower has received compensation to not grow a crop.
