[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 Mowing can improve wildlife habitat by rejuvenating forbs and other flowering plants, reducing vegetation which would interfere with the Over-seeding / Inter-seeding of additional plant species, 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 Mowing occurs, mowed CRP/CREP acres may be over-seeded with a mix of grass and forbs, or may re-grow naturally from existing plants and seeds."]
[null,null,"Prescribed Mowing differs greatly from the maintenance mowing allowed by some CRP and CREP contracts.  Maintenance mowing focuses on annual reductions of unwanted vegetation within a field, whereas Prescribed Mowing focuses on occasional alteration or improvement of the habitat value of the field.  Prescribed Mowing may occur only at specific times in the CRP or CREP contract (see Mowing Timeframes, below), and may include up to half of most CRP/CREP fields.  Some CRP/CREP practices (all CP8A, and any CP15A or CP21 practices which are ≤ 40 feet wide) may receive a one-time Prescribed Mowing of their entire acreage.  Prescribed Mowing does not involve or authorize annual mowing for generic weed control, periodic mowing or mowing for cosmetic purposes, at any time.     "]
