The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary
conservation program that emphasizes support for working grazing
operations, enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity, and protection
of grassland under threat of conversion to other uses.
Participants voluntarily limit future development and cropping uses of
the land while retaining the right to conduct common grazing practices
and operations related to the production of forage and seeding, subject
to certain restrictions during nesting seasons of bird species that are
in significant decline or are protected under Federal or State law. A
grazing management plan is required for participants.
