The U.S. Department of Agriculture has nearly $983,000 available for
Iowa landowners who sign up for the Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) by
July 10. To participate in the GRP, landowners must have a grazing
management plan. Landowners who have their GRP applications accepted can
enroll their land into a permanent easement, or they can receive annual,
per-acre payments in exchange for their agreement to keep the land as
grassland for 10, 15 or 20 years. |
