Which CREP Practice Works for You?
Finding the right conservation practice
is the key to CREP's success on your farm.
Consider the following examples...
If you graze livestock near a stream, even a small one, consider streambank fencing, stream crossings, stock tanks, and native tree and shrub plantings. CP 22, CP 29
If you have crop or hayland on a steep hillside and you are tired of battling soil loss and the risk of working the land, consider planting native warm or cool season grasses.
CP 1, CP 2
If you have fields and pastures with low, wet spots or near flood-prone streams, a shallow water area or wetland restoration would be a perfect fit. CP 23, CP 9
If you have an old field with a non-forested stream running through it, native trees can be planted along this bare riparian zone. CP 22 or CP 29
Not a farmer? That's OK!
In many areas, landowners who have non-forested streams running through occasionally mowed old hayfields have taken advantage of CREP's CP22 to protect and restore the stream through streamside tree plantings. So before making a decision about CREP, call 1-800-941-CREP to obtain local CREP facts and phone numbers for your county.
