HR 2942 United States House · 118th Congress

Conservation Reserve Program Amendments Act of 2023

This bill adds citrus groves planted within the past decade to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), creating a special enrollment category for citrus land. It prioritizes enrollment for citrus groves at risk of development, affected by huanglongbing (a citrus disease), or supporting wildlife habitat. The bill requires 1-5 year contracts for enrolled citrus land and limits annual enrollment to 100,000 acres from 2024-2028. It directly affects citrus farmers in states like Florida and California who own eligible groves meeting the new criteria.
