1 Emergency grazing program open in most Counties
3:3 Emergency grazing of Conservation '
Reserve Program (CRP) acres is open
in most North Dakota counties. CRP'
participants in counties that are in a D3
or D4 drought status, or a D2 drought
status of 8 weeks or greater, may re-
fittest to perform emergency grazing
the primary nesting season.-
ff; “With the severe drought in North
Dakota, grazing options are desperately
needed,” Agriculture Commissioner
Doug Goehring said. “Having emer-
gency grazing ayailable for our live—
s:ka producers provides some relief.”
3‘2 CRP participants must submit a
.L
a
written request to conduct emergency
grazing, are limited to 50% carrying
capacity on acreage grazed and are not
to exceed 90 consecutive days. All
conservation practices are eligible.
Producers should check with their
county Farm Service Agency office
to ensure their acres are eligible and
contract provisions are followed.
Ineligible counties currently in-
clude Barnes, Cass, Ransom,’Rich-
land, Sargent, Steele and Traill as
they have only been in D2 status for
seven weeks. CRP participants in
those counties should watch the
drought monitor athttps://drought-
monitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/State-
DroughtMonitor.aspx?ND and check
with FSA about future eligibility.
Goehring also reminds ranchers
affected by the drought to check the
department’s hay hotline and map.
“Ranchers who need hay; those
with hay to sell or with pasture ’or
hayland to rent; or those with CRP to
graze should call our hay hotline at
701-425-8454,” Goehring said.
