Farmers and ranchers wishing to receive financial aid for helping establish and protect wildlife habitats on their land have until close of business on August 27, 2010 to apply for the USDA's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
The government-backed program offers landowners financial incentives to establish wildlife habitats and offers rental payments to help offset lost income from forgone agricultural production. Cropland that is labeled as "highly erodible" or is within a national or state Conservation Priority Area is generally eligible to enroll in the program. Landowners with property that is currently covered under an existing CRP are also encouraged to apply.
The 10-15 year contracts awarded during this sign up period will become effective on October 1, 2010.
Find out more about the CRP and how to apply on the USDA Website.

On Friday, August 13, 2010, The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City announced that farmland values continued to rise during the second quarter.
In a survey of banks in the 10th Federal Reserve District, the Feds showed a 5.6% annual increase in the value of irrigated cropland and a 4.8% increase in non-irrigated land. Kansas showed the largest increases with irrigated land values jumping 9.2%. Nebraska's 6.4% spike represents the next biggest increase.
The 10th Federal Reserve District, a barometer for farmland values nationwide, includes Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, northern New Mexico and western Missouri.

Dave Freudenthal may be on the last few months of his term as Wyoming's governor, but he's trying to go out with a multi-million dollar bang.
For over a decade, Wyoming has struggled to get a fair value out of two parcels of state-owned land within the Grand Teton National Park. The state's goal has been to trade the park land for property of equal value, ideally land that could be developed for commercial purposes. Though the roughly 2 square miles of land are worth over $100 million, the state is currently only getting around $3,000 a year from cattle ranching grazing leases.
Now Governor Freudenthal is stepping up pressure on the federal government by threatening to auction the land off to private developers. Though experts don't expect such a sale to take place, the state's tactics have led the federal government to agree to a joint appraisal to determine the property's value.
