[null,null,"Description:"]
[null,null,"CRP and CREP fields provide valuable wildlife habitat, but over time they become less diverse and support fewer types of wildlife.  Periodic disturbance helps CRP and CREP fields maintain desirable grassland cover made of mostly grasses and forbs.  Prescribed Burning can improve wildlife habitat by rejuvenating forbs and other flowering plants, reducing vegetation and/or thatch which can build up over time, encouraging plant communities with the physical structure of open-land or grassland habitats, and maintaining the early-successional plant species favored by many open-land wildlife species.  After Prescribed Burning occurs, mowed CRP/CREP acres may be over-seeded with a mix of grasses and forbs, or may re-grow naturally from existing plants and seeds."]
[null,null,"Prescribed Burning differs greatly from the maintenance practices allowed by some CRP and CREP contracts.  Maintenance practices focus on annual reductions of unwanted vegetation within a field, whereas Prescribed Burning focuses on occasional alteration or improvement of the habitat value of the field.  Prescribed Burning may occur only at specific times in the CRP or CREP contract (see Burning Timeframes, below).  Prescribed Burning can only occur on grass-based CRP and CREP plantings.  Burning of tree or shrub plantings that were cost-shared by CRP or CREP is not permitted; however, burning is acceptable for controlling volunteer woody growth in CRP or CREP grass plantings.  Prescribed Burning only applies to the grass buffer portions of CP9 and CP23 practices.  "]
[null,null,"The Prescribed Burning MCM activity does not authorize unplanned or unapproved burning at any time.  All Prescribed Burns must follow a pre-approved Burn Plan, and be supervised by someone qualified to conduct Prescribed Fires.     "]
[null,null,"Practice Guidance:  "]
[null,null,"NRCS will conduct a site visit prior to the implementation of the Prescribed Burning MCM, to determine the extent of burning needed and any site preparations or any additional management activities needed to support the Prescribed Burning.

[null,null,"Burning Patterns"]
[null,null,"Typically, entire CRP or CREP fields will not be burned for Prescribed Burning.  However, private consultants or NRCS may recommend burning entire fields, but only in rare cases when management efforts or site conditions warrant such burning.  Ideally, large fields would get half of their acreage burned in the first year of the Mid-Contract Management activity, and the second half burned the following year.  However, these ideal conditions may not always be possible, and sometimes it may be necessary to burn entire field in one year.  Work with NRCS and a private contractor (if necessary) to plan and implement the Prescribed Burn."]
