Minnesota’s CREP 3 expanded to 75,000 acres, extended to 2039

The CREP 3, now in effect, was signed by state and federal officials eight years ago and currently includes 671 easements, according to BWSR, with 35,4000 acres “recorded,” leaving 40,000 acres to potentially be enrolled in the next 14 years. (File photo by Eric Morken)

State and federal officials a week ago signed a new agreement that extends Minnesota’s current and ongoing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program into 2039 and adds an additional 15,000 acres to the 60,000-acre program.
CREP 3, the third such effort in the state since about 2002, now will include 12 additional Minnesota counties, and requirements to qualify for the program – which includes state and federal payments for perpetual conservation easements – will change slightly, officials say.
