Conservation Security Program Cost

Updated 09/30/2005

Conservation Security Program Cost costs lists are county specific and fixed at a 2001 price base for the life of the Farm Bill. Some states have simply used their FY2002 price list, which was adjusted from FY2001 in September 2001 based on actual 2001 prices. As the CSP Rules have not yet been developed, these cost lists are still draft.

Current Actual CSP costs list will be available on the NRCS State Office websites.

Documentation on development of these costs include:
