CSP
is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to
promote the conservation and improvement of soil, water, air, energy, plant and
animal life, and other conservation purposes on Tribal and private working
lands. Working lands include cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved
pasture, and range land, as well as forested land that is an incidental part of
an agriculture operation. The program is available in all 50 States, the
Caribbean Area and the Pacific Basin area. The program provides equitable access
to benefits to all producers, regardless of size of operation, crops produced,
or geographic location.
