U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer announced today that he is releasing Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres for livestock grazing in counties recently designated as Presidential Disaster Areas because of flooding. The release permits grazing only in counties designated as primary and contiguous disaster areas and only because of flooding. "We have a crisis situation in the Midwest and other parts of the country that calls for drastic action," said Schafer.
