October 1999 Conservation Reserve Program Authorization The Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, authorizes the CRP, which is implemented through the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). The program is also governed by the regulations published in 7CFR part 1410. Overview The CRP is a voluntary program that offers annual rental payments, incentive payments for certain activities, and cost-share assistance to establish approved cover on eligible cropland. The program encourages farmers to plant long-term resource-conserving covers to improve soil, water, and wildlife resources. CCC makes available assistance in an amount equal to not more than 50 percent of the participant’s costs in establishing approved practices. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years. The CRP is administered by the CCC through the Farm Service Agency (FSA). The Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cooperative State Research and Education Extension Service, state forestry agencies, and local soil and water conservation districts provide program support. Eligible Land To be eligible for placemnt in the CRP, land must be: 1. Cropland that is planted or considered planted to an agricultural commodity 2 of the 5 most recent crop years (including field margins), which is also physically and legally capable of being planted in a normal manner to an agricultural commodity; or 2. Certain marginal pastureland enrolled in the Water Bank Program. Additional Requirements for Cropland In addition to the eligible land requirements, cropland must: 1. Have an Erosion Index (EI) of 8 or higher or be considered highly erodible land according to the conservation compliance provisions (redefined fields must have a weighted average EI of 8 or higher); 2. Be considered a cropped wetland; 3. Be devoted to any of a number of highly beneficial environmental practices, such as filter strips, riparian buffers, grass waterways, shelter belts, wellhead protection areas, and other similar practices; 4. Be subject to scour erosion; 5. Be located in a national or state CRP conservation priority area; or 6. Be cropland associated with or surrounding non-cropped wetlands. Ranking Criteria Offers for CRP contracts are ranked according to the Environmental Benefits Index (EBI). The Natural Resources Conservation Service collects data for each of the EBI factors, based upon the relative environmental benefits for the land offered. Each eligible offer is ranked in comparison to all others and selections made from that ranking. EBI factors include: Wildlife habitat benefits resulting from covers on contract acreage; Water quality benefits from reduced erosion, runoff, and leaching; On-farm benefits of reduced erosion; Likely long-term benefits of reduced erosion; Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion; Benefits of enrollment in conservation priority areas where enrollment would contribute to the improvement of identified adverse water quality, wildlife habitat, or air quality; and Cost. Producer Eligibility Requirements A producer must have owned or operated the land for at least 12 months prior to the close of the sign-up period, unless: The new owner acquired the land as a result of death of the previous owner; The only ownership change occurred due to foreclosure where the owner exercised a timely right or redemption in accordance with State law; or The circumstances of the acquisition present adequate assurance to CCC that the new owner did not acquire the land for the purpose of placing it in the CRP.

Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
