Nebraska Adds 12 more counties for emergency CRP grazing

The USDA has authorized emergency grazing immediately on 2012 CRP acres in 12 Nebraska counties. But at the present time, haying of CRP is not authorized until after July 15th. Eligible producers who are interested in emergency grazing of CRP must request written approval from their Farm Service Agency office. The counties approved for emergency grazing include Arthur, Cheyenne, Frontier, Hayes, Hitchcock, Perkins, Red Willow, Furnas, Gosper, Keith, Kimball, and Stanton. Producers can use the CRP acreage for their own livestock or may grant another livestock producer use of the CRP acreage.
