USDA seeks public comment on changes to CRP managed haying, grazingKansas The U.S. Department of Agriculture March 3 announced that it will hold a public meeting March 26 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., on proposed changes to managed haying and grazing on Conservation Reserve Program land. USDA's Farm Service Agency will hold the meeting at KSU Aggie Research Center, 1232 240th Avenue, Hays, Kansas 67601, phone 785-625-3425. FSA is proposing rule changes to the frequency that managed haying and grazing is allowed on land that is enrolled in CRP. Public comments will be accepted at the meeting and the public may also comment on changes to primary nesting season dates, during which managed haying and grazing are not permitted. The primary nesting season in Kansas is April 15 to July 15. FSA will consider public comments when it prepares state-specific environmental assessments that will evaluate the effects of the proposed changes. The environmental assessments will aid USDA decision-makers and the public with an analysis of the benefits and potential impacts of the proposed changes to managed haying and grazing on CRP land. Public comments can be submitted both electronically and by regular mail. They must be received by the close of business on April 22. Direct comments to: MHG EAs, Geo-Marine Incorporated, 2713 Magruder Blvd., Suite D, Hampton, VA 23666-1572 or send them to this website: http://public.geo-marine.com. This meeting is one of 13 public meetings that will be held in 13 states where USDA is proposing rule changes to the managed haying and grazing program. More information on meeting dates and locations is available on the project website: http://public.geo-marine.com.
