Wetland programs don't eliminate all the risk on your farm. But they do eliminate risk on the acres that consistently create it!

Enrollment is currently open for the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Agriculture Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) focused on playa wetlands. ACEP provides a variety of options for flood-prone cropland and/or wetland acres.

Compensation:
- 95% of appraised land value for enrolled acres
- Ability to pass a pivot over enrolled acres
- Can provide 85% cost-share for infrastructure, such as perimeter/interior fence, livestock water, and pivot crossings in the fence.
- Cost-share for pivot modifications like flotation tires, Variable Rate Irrigation, hardware and software upgrades, nozzle packages, Variable Frequency Drive motors, and telemetry.

If you want more information on program details, visit your local USDA NRCS service center.
