The five-year CSP contracts will offer two types

based on the level of conservation on the land. A supplemental
payment is also available to participants who also adopt a resource-conserving
crop rotation. The annual payment limitation for a person or legal
entity is $40,000. A person or legal entity cannot exceed $200,000
for all contracts entered into during any five-year period.
Eligible lands include cropland, grassland, prairie,
improved pastureland, and non-industrial private forestland. For
