April 8, 2008

CRP contract holders must disk, burn or apply herbicides to existing vegetation before interseeding during mid contract management, according to Barb Stewart, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) state agronomist.

Before interseeding CRP land please consult with your local NRCS office. More information is also available from the “Options for CRP Mid Contract Management” fact sheet found at www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov/news/brochures/publications.html.
