WASHINGTON, May 15, 2019 – USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup and will offer exten-sions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs.
“USDA offers a variety of con-servation programs to farmers and ranchers, and the Conservation Re-serve Program is an important tool for private lands management,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce. “CRP allows agricultural producers to set aside land to re-duce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.”
FSA stopped accepting applica-tions last fall for the continuous CRP signup when 2014 Farm Bill authority expired. Since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill last December, Fordyce said FSA has carefully an-alyzed the language and determined that a limited signup prioritizing water-quality practices furthers conservation goals and makes sense for producers as FSA works to fully implement the program.
Continuous CRP SignupThis year’s signup will in-
clude such practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of prac-tices approved for this program at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/As-sets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/NewsRoom/news-releases/pdf/SU52%20practices.pdf.
Continuous signup enrollment contracts are 10 to 15 years in du-ration. Soil rental rates will be set at 90 percent of the existing rates. Incentive payments will not be offered for these contracts.
Conservation ReserveEnhancement Program Signup
FSA will also reopen signup for
existing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) agreements. Fact sheets on cur-rent CREP agreements are avail-able at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conserva-tion-programs/conservation-re-serve-enhancement/index.
Other CRP Signup OptionsFordyce said FSA plans to open
a CRP general signup in Decem-ber 2019 and a CRP Grasslands signup later.
CRP Contract ExtensionsA one-year extension will be of-
fered to existing CRP participants who have expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eli-gible for an extension will receive a letter describing their options.
Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which pro-vides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a socially disadvantaged group.
More InformationOn December 20, 2018, Pres-
ident Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and sup-porting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these changes as quickly and effec-tively as possible, and today’s up-dates are part of meeting that goal.
Producers interested in applying for continuous CRP practices, in-cluding those under existing CREP agreements, or who need an exten-sion, should contact their USDA service center beginning June 3. To locate your local FSA office, visit www.farmers.gov. More informa-tion on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.
USDA Reopens Continuous CRP SignupExtensions also available to Many Expiring Contracts

AUSTIN, Aug. 17, 2021 – Sep-tember marks the start of dove season for almost 300,000 Texas hunters per year. After Winter Storm Uri hit the state in February, many hunters are wondering how the snowfall and below-freezing temperatures may have affected dove populations. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biol-ogists report that hunters can expect a good dove season, especially in the South Zone.
“Our spring dove surveys suggest that there may have been some im-pacts from the winter storm, particu-larly in the northern half of the state, but it’s difficult to know the extent since dove populations naturally fluctuate from year to year,” said Owen Fitzsimmons, TPWD Dove Program Leader. “The most evident impact seems to be in the North Zone, where white-wing estimates are below average overall. I don’t anticipate any long-term impacts. The good rainfall this spring and summer has resulted in good pro-duction, which will help offset any losses and allow a quick recovery.”
Fitzsimmons says that statewide breeding populations are about average this year with 25 million mourning doves and 12 million white-winged doves.
“Overall, breeding population estimates range from average to below-average in the North and Central Zones, but they are still well within normal, and even a little up from 2019, when we last did surveys,” Fitzsimmons added. “In the areas with good hatch-year production, we are expecting an av-erage to good season. Our estimates for the South Zone are highest on record. We anticipate another ex-cellent season there.”
One effect of the winter storm that hunters in every Dove Zone may notice this fall is frostbite damage
on doves they harvest. The frostbite damage, however, doesn’t appear to be impacting the overall health of the birds. Fitzsimmons says that it’s not unusual to find doves that migrate in from the northern states with missing toes or even the tips of their bills. Fitzsimmons notes that Winter Storm Uri did take a toll on Texas birds though, especially white-winged doves.
“They are a sub-tropical species and not very cold-hardy, but they are pretty resilient,” Fitzsimmons said. “Despite their injuries, most of the ones we’ve encountered are other-wise healthy and in good condition.”
Habitat conditions have been favorable throughout the state this year thanks to abundant rainfall, which could make for good hunting conditions all season long. Fitz-simmons encourages hunters to be ready for action-packed days in the field throughout October and even into the second half of the season.
Hunters may notice there are six Special White-winged Dove Days instead of the usual four this year. This is the only regulatory change for the 2021-22 season.
“Since federal regulations restrict the South Zone Regular Season from opening prior to September 14, the Special White-winged Days provide some early Septem-ber hunting opportunity, and they continue to grow in popularity every year,” Fitzsimmons said. “We worked with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service this year to bump up from four days to six, which will provide three-day weekend oppor-tunities for our hunters.”
Dove hunters should purchase their new 2021-22 Texas hunt-ing license (https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/licenses/hunting-licenses-and-per-mits) prior to hitting the field this fall. Along with their hunting

license, those hunting dove must have the migratory game bird endorsement (https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/licenses/hunting-licenses-and-per-mits/hunting-endorsements) and be HIP-certified. Hunters must accurately answer the HIP ques-tions when getting certified, and, if a vendor does not ask questions about hunting activity last season, hunters are encouraged to ask that they do so. It’s also required by law that hunters have proof of their completion of a hunter education course (https://tpwd.texas.gov/education/hunter-education).
Dove season dates for the North, Central and South Zones, along with regulations, bag limits and more can be found in the Out-door Annual (https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/regs/animals/dove). Hunters can
also access digital copies of their licenses via the Outdoor Annual app (https://tpwd.texas.gov/regula-tions/outdoor-annual/app/) and My Texas Hunt Harvest app (https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/hunt-harvest-app/). Additionally, hunters are encouraged to report (https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv/) any birds they recover that have leg bands.
Anyone hunting on Texas Public Hunting Lands are also required to purchase an Annual Public Hunting Permit (https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/public/annual_pub-lic_hunting/). Texas has more than 1 million acres of land that is acces-sible to the public. More informa-tion about these lands and locations can be found on the TPWD Public Hunting website (https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/public/annual_public_hunting/).
