DES MOINES —
USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has announced Feb. 17 as the next cutoff date to submit applications through the Wetlands Reserve Program for Iowa landowners interested in restoring agricultural land to natural wetlands.
WRP is a voluntary program that provides technical and financial assistance to eligible private landowners and Tribes to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture. WRP is a continuous signup program, although NRCS periodically makes funding selections as program funding allows. Feb. 17 is the second cutoff date for fiscal year 2012 funding.
To apply or to find out more about WRP eligibility and enrollment options, visit your local USDA Service Center or go online to www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/WRP.html.
