USDA opens emergency CRP haying, grazing
Agricultural producers impacted by drought can now request haying and grazing on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres in certain Nebraska counties, while still receiving their full rental payment for the land.
“Drought is heavily impacting livestock producers in parts of Nebraska and across the country, and emergency haying or grazing of lands enrolled in CRP is one more drought mitigation tool to help producers,” said Zach Ducheneaux, Administrator of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). “While CRP makes annual rental payments for land in conservation, under certain circumstances, FSA can allow the haying and grazing of these lands to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters without a reduction in payments. As part of our climate-smart agriculture efforts, we are working with all stakeholder groups to ensure that supplemental benefits of CRP acres, like emergency haying and grazing, can be accessed in a manner that is more universally beneficial.”
Outside of the primary nesting season, emergency haying and grazing of CRP acres may be authorized to provide relief to livestock producers in areas affected by a severe drought or similar natural disaster. The primary nesting season for Nebraska ended July 15. Counties are approved for emergency haying and grazing due to drought conditions on a county-by-county basis using the D-2 drought classification on the U.S. Drought Monitor as the main program trigger. Producers interested in emergency haying or grazing of CRP should contact their county FSA office to find out whether their county is eligible.
Producers can use the CRP acreage under the emergency grazing provisions for their livestock or may grant another livestock producer use of the CRP acreage.
Producers interested in emergency haying or grazing of CRP acres must notify their FSA county office before starting any activities. This includes producers accessing CRP acres held by someone else. To maintain contract compliance, producers must have their conservation plan modified by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

Knaaks win fourth annual Forever Pirate golf tourney
The fourth-annual Forever Pirates golf tournament was held at the Plainview Country Club this past weekend, with 84 golfers registered for the event.
More graduation years were represented this year than ever before, with 32 classes from 1957-2019 having classmates in attendance.
As has become the event’s custom – those alumni that had passed since the last event were honored, with 31 flags set out for deceased alumni on the first tee. The flags were given to the families.
The Class of 2004 had the largest representation with five classmates in attendance.
The event is sponsored by the Plainview Education Foundation, which uses the proceeds to go to senior scholarships, with plans to expand to teacher classroom grants in the coming year.
As a special event this year, some of the inaugural Plainview High School Hall of Fame guests were in attendance for their plaque presentation: Scott Walker (1985), Bob Lingenfelter (1972) and Larry Knaak (teacher/coach from 1961-2020).
