The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is encouraging Tennessee agricultural producers who want to enhance current conservation effort to apply for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)-Classic, formerly known as CSP-General. Producers who decide to enroll will have a consultation with their local NRCS conservation planner to evaluate their current management system and the natural resources on their land. While applications are accepted on a continuous basis, applications must be submitted by March 26, 2021 to be considered for fiscal year 2021 funding. Producers interested in CSP are encouraged to contact the USDA NRCS office by calling 931-484-5442, Ext. 3.
