Environmental Update, June 2005

EMS, LLC can help producers with the assessment, application, and planning necessary for successful enrollment in CSP. Unlike other programs, CSP pays for practices the land owner has in place, not what they plan to do.

Compliance with CSP rules includes environmental record keeping documenting tillage, crop rotations, soil testing, nutrient applications, applied conservation practices, and other environmental improvements. There are additional tiers in the program as well that result in increased payments.
