The Natural Resources Conservation Service has announced the 2013 application acceptance for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).

NRCS will provide about $175 million in funding for as many as 12.6 million additional acres of enrollment this year.

Although applications are accepted all year, those interested in CSP should submit their applications by June 14, 2013, to their local NRCS office.
