Conservation Reserve Program research and demonstration project
This project, the first of its kind in the nation, used land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program to demonstrate intensive rotational grazing as an economically and environmentally viable alternative use for highly erodible land due to come out of CRP contracts beginning in 1996.
