[null,null,"Native warm-season grasses (WSGs) grow best in the summer, and go dormant in mid- to late fall.  WSGs include grasses like switchgrass, Indian grass, big bluestem, little bluestem and eastern gamagrass.  These grasses grow strong root systems very quickly, but grow leaves and other above-ground structures more slowly.  WSGs are excellent for long-term erosion control and improving water quality.  As bunch grasses, they do not form dense sod, but retain open spaces among their grass clumps (see winter picture above).  Legumes and wildflowers can thrive in the open spaces among WSGs.  They provide excellent nesting and foraging habitat for wildlife in spring, summer, and fall.  WSGs' stiff stems typically remain upright throughout the year; because they don't pack down under snowfall, WSGs provide excellent winter cover for wildlife. "]

[null,null,"Description:"]
[null,null,"Native warm-season grasses (WSGs) grow best in the summer, and go dormant in mid- to late fall.  WSGs include grasses like switchgrass, Indian grass, big bluestem, little bluestem and eastern gamagrass.  These grasses grow strong root systems very quickly, but grow leaves and other above-ground structures more slowly.  WSGs are excellent for long-term erosion control and improving water quality.  As bunch grasses, they do not form dense sod, but retain open spaces among their grass clumps (see winter picture above).  Legumes and wildflowers can thrive in the open spaces among WSGs.  They provide excellent nesting and foraging habitat for wildlife in spring, summer, and fall.  WSGs' stiff stems typically remain upright throughout the year; because they don't pack down under snowfall, WSGs provide excellent winter cover for wildlife. "]

[null,null,"Operation and Maintenance:   "]
[null,null,"To be compliant with the CRP/CREP contract, 60% or more of the cover on CP2 acreage must be introduced perennial grasses and/or native perennial grasses which are acceptable to CRP/CREP.  Non-grass vegetation that is beneficial to wildlife (except woody vegetation) may be present, but cannot exceed 40% of the cover on CP2 acres.  Clovers and wildflowers, whether part of an approved seed mix or occurring naturally on the site, are “other species beneficial to wildlife” and cannot exceed 40% of the cover on CP2 acres.  Encroachment of tall fescue cannot exceed 10% of the cover on CP2 acres.  Woody vegetation in CP2 acres will result in non-compliance with the CRP/CREP contract, because it degrades the grassland value of the habitat and indicates improper maintenance of the CP2 cover."]
[null,null,"To control unwanted vegetation and to keep the existing conservation cover in compliance with the CRP/CREP contract, perform maintenance (by spot mowing or herbicide treatment) on specific, limited locations where weeds occur.  To avoid permanent damage to CP2 cover, do not mow WSGs below 8 inches.  Treatment with appropriate herbicides should always follow label directions for rate, amount, and timing of herbicide application.  "]
[null,null,"Spot mowing and herbicide treatment can only occur on acres with weed pressure, and cannot exceed 1/3 (33%) of any field in a given year.  Both spot mowing and herbicide treatment must occur between August 1 and August 31.  If mowing more than 1/3 of a field or spot mowing or herbicide treatment needed at other times of the year—for example, thistle control in May or early June—is needed, it must be requested from and pre-approved by the FSA County Committee.  "]
[null,null,"Control noxious weeds on all CP2 acres over the entire length of the CRP/CREP contract.  Mowing alone may not be sufficient to control noxious or woody vegetation; a follow-up herbicide treatment may be necessary.  Any CP2 cover destroyed must be re-established."]
