🚨 USDA is issuing approximately $1.8 BILLION in 2026 Conservation Reserve Program payments to agricultural producers and landowners.

These payments include Grassland CRP payments that play an important role in the Trump Administration’s Ranchers First Initiative announced by Secretary Rollins that includes sweeping actions focused on rebuilding the Great American Cattle Herd and putting America’s ranchers back at the center of our nation’s food supply.
