Nebraska Platte Republican Resource Area Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP)

Through the Nebraska Platte-Republican
Resources Area CREP, federal and state
resources are made available to program
participants to voluntarily enroll in CRP
for 10 to 15-year contracts. Participants
remove cropland from agricultural
production and convert the land to
native grasses, trees and other vegetation
or restore wetlands. This will reduce
irrigation water use, improve water
quality, reduce soil erosion, reduce the
amount of sediment, phosphorous and
other pollutants entering waterbodies and
improve wildlife habitat in the area.
