Frequently Asked Questions
The Conservation Reserve Program – Continuous Signup (CCRP), begun in 1996, is an offshoot of the Conservation Reserve Program – General Signup (CRP General Signup. CCRP is a nationwide, voluntary program designed to help farmers restore and protect environmentally sensitive land—particularly wetlands, wildlife habitat and water quality buffers. Participants set aside cropland (and/or marginal pastureland in certain circumstances) for 10-15 years and plant long-term resource-conserving covers that reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and/or enhance wildlife habitat. In return, they receive annual land rental payments, cost-share assistance to establish and maintain the vegetation and—for certain practices—additional one-time special incentive payments.
CCRP differs from the CRP General Signup in several ways:
CCRP and CREP: CCRP is closely associated with the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP).—another offshoot of the CRP General Signup that developed a few years after the CRP Continuous Signup was launched. The agency that administers both programs at the federal level (USDA Farm Service Agency) treats CREP as part of CCRP for administrative purposes. (For example, in the agency's monthly and annual CRP Contract Summary and Statistics, data on CREP contracts is often lumped with data for CCRP as a whole.) This website treats CCRP and CREP separately, however, as their payment rates and other features differ significantly.
Special Initiatives Associated with CCRP: CCRP includes several initiatives introduced to meet special needs or opportunities identified by program constituents. The special initiatives introduced to date are described below, including links for more information. See FAQ 12 for information about practice-specific acreage limitations that apply to these initiatives.
The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), a federal agency, administers CCRP through its state and local offices, with assistance from other agencies.
The information on this web page is current as of June 2007. It is MDA's intention to review and update it if necessary at least every six months.
1. What funding is offered by this program?
2. When and where is this program offered?
3. Who is eligible?
To receive CCRP payments, a person must have owned or operated the enrolled land for at least 12 months prior to the close of the CCRP signup period—except in any of the following circumstances:
4. What lands are eligible?
Under the 2002 Farm Bill, to be eligible for the CCRP land must meet fit one of the following categories:
Additionally, the land must be suitable for a specific CCRP conservation practice option (see FAQ 5 below).
5. What conservation practices or activities are funded?
CCRP offers funding for wetland restoration, many types of conservation buffers and other special-purpose environmental priorities. Below is the current menu of CCRP conservation practice options, which FSA may change or expand at any time.
Wetland Restoration
Other Special-Purpose Practices
6. How many acres can I enroll?
7. How long does the contract or easement last?
CCRP participants choose a desired contract length between 10 and 15 years. The contract goes into effect the first day of the month after which it is approved. [If the land is currently under any type of CRP contract and is within one year of expiration, the new CCRP contract will start on October 1 following the current contract's expiration.] (In some circumstances, producers may defer the start date for up to 6 months.)
8. How do I apply for funding?
9. How can I maximize my chances of getting funded?
10. Once enrolled, what land uses or management activities are required or restricted?
11. How much land is currently enrolled in Minnesota?
The best source of up-to-date information on the amount and types of land enrolled in all CRP programs in Minnesota, including the CCRP, is FSA's CRP Contract Summary and Statistics.
Additional breakdowns of enrollment data by county are available in FSA's Monthly Active CRP Contract Reports. The tables show data compiled by program year (crop year) and by CRP signup number. Each table begins with data for the first CRP signup or program/crop year in which existing acreage was originally enrolled. Therefore, to determine the total acreage currently enrolled (e.g., in a given conservation practice in a given Minnesota county), you must scroll to the end of the table where a heading will indicate "all program years" or "all signups".
12. Is there a limit to the number of acres that can be enrolled in Minnesota, or in any one county or watershed?
Yes, CCRP enrollment in Minnesota is subject to national, county and, for certain practices, practice-specific acreage limitations.
National Acreage Cap: The 2002 Farm Bill allows up to 39.2 million acres to be enrolled nationwide at any one time in farm bill set-aside programs (including CCRP, the CRP General Signup, the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP).
National Acreage Quota for CCRP/CREP: Within the national acreage cap described above, up to 2.5 million acres are reserved for CCRP and CREP. Within that amount, there are no limitations on the number of acres that may be enrolled in CCRP in any one state, except for the county and selected practice-specific acreage limitations described below.
County Acreage Limitation: No more than 25% of a county's cropland acreage may be enrolled in farm bill set-aside programs at any one time. County FSA Committees may appeal the percentage on a case-by-case basis. At least two northwestern Minnesota counties have requested and have been permitted to enroll of more than 25% of their cropland acreage.
Practice-Specific Acreage Allocations: Under the 2002 Farm Bill, enrollment in certain CCRP practices associated with special initiatives is limited by state-specific acreage caps. All of the CCRP special initiatives introduced to date are described above under the Program Overview above. State-specific acreage caps for each initiative were established when the initiatives were first introduced. In February 2007, USDA adjusted these allocations, resulting in reduced allocations for Minnesota. The table below shows Minnesota's initial and current acreage allocations, which remain in effect until September 30, 2007 when the 2002 Farm Bill expires.
CCRP Special Initiative Practice-Specific Acreage Caps for Minnesota
* From 1998-2003 this practice was available only through the CRP General Signup and was not subject to a practice-specific acreage cap. At one time, around 300,000 acres were enrolled in this practice in Minnesota under the General Signup. In 2003, the practice was converted to a CRP Continuous Signup (CCRP) practice, and new contracts from then on were subject to the acreage cap.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - An internal investigation is underway at the Columbia County Sheriff's Office after deputies say one of their own used a Taser on a suspect, killing him.
The Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs Unit and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement are looking into the incident.
Lake City's Jamie Glen is a quiet, rural area. But Sunday evening, deputies say Timothy Griffis, 35, made sure it was anything but quiet.
The police report said Griffis was acting strange in a 91-year-old's yard before throwing a metal pipe at her. When Deputy Bradley Carpenter responded before 6:30 p.m. Griffis wouldn't come out of a shed on the property and said he would kill the deputy.
"After he failed to comply with the requests to come out he was eventually tased and taken into custody," said Lt. Katina Dicks.
Handcuffed, Griffis began having trouble breathing and then stopped altogether. Carpenter took the cuffs off and administered CPR, but Griffis died later at a hospital.
Action News asked Dicks if using the Taser was the proper protocol in that moment.
"In a situation like that it is appropriate to use a Taser," Dicks said.
Griffis had been arrested eight times since 2007 in Columbia County. According to the CCSO, Carpenter has only been on the force for eight months and has no previous incidents or complaints.
Carpener is currently on paid administrative leave.

Performance Factors for Siebel Web Clients
Some performance considerations for Siebel applications involve processing or tuning activities on servers only, and do not affect Siebel client performance. However, many other such factors either directly or indirectly affect Siebel client performance. This chapter highlights some of the factors most directly related to the performance of the Siebel Web Client.
The performance of the Siebel client depends on many factors, some of which are summarized below. For additional information on these topics, refer to applicable documents on the Siebel Bookshelf or Siebel SupportWeb.
About Supporting Multiple Siebel Modules
Employee applications and customer applications have different requirements and characteristics and may use different browsers and other related technologies.
All Siebel applications have many architectural elements in common. Multiple applications can use the same Siebel repository file (SRF). Each application uses its own AOM component. You may need to define, configure, and test multiple instances of each application to verify that your requirements are met in each usage scenario.
The performance of your Siebel applications will vary according to how you have configured the applications using Siebel Tools or custom browser scripts. See Following Configuration Guidelines.
Client performance will also vary according to which Siebel modules you deploy. The performance of the Siebel client is highly dependent on feature functionality. Therefore, performance characteristics of Siebel modules will differ.
Some modules add special processing requirements. For example, Siebel CTI uses the Communications Session Manager (CommSessionMgr) component, and supports the communications toolbar and displaying screen pops in the client. Server and local resources support this functionality.
Supporting users who are dispersed in offices around the country or around the world introduces special deployment factors that may affect performance.
About Local Machine Resources
The resources available on each user's local machine should meet or exceed the recommendations outlined in System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb. Some performance enhancement measures depend directly on the available resources.

Paul was very knowledgeable about property values in the area and all of the details and documents associated with selling our home. He was especially helpful and responsive to our concerns and needs on a very personal level. He was just excellent in so many ways and we recommend him with great confidence and enthusiasm.
Jon A.Date Of Review: Nov 23, 2014
I've just completed a home purchase in Sonoma County using Paul as my agent. I will say without reservation that Paul is the best agent I've ever worked with (16 homes purchased so far in my life.) He is very familiar with properties in this area, and with home values and trends. He listens carefully to learn what you want and need and then finds it for you. He is a skilled negotiator. He stays on top of every detail in the process. And he returns phone calls promptly. All in all, a consummate professional. My son and daughter-in-law are now looking for a home in this area and I've recommended they use Paul. I think that's the highest recommendation I could give. Thanks Pau
Dr W.Date Of Review: Nov 23, 2014
What a wonderful experience we had buying a home because of Paul's expertise and knowledge. He spend hours each weekend with us until he found the perfect home for our needs. He was always professional and friendly. He knew quickly what we wanted and was able to guide us through the process from start through the close of escrow and beyond with no stress. He worked well with the other agent involved, negotiated with the best strategy we have ever seen. His guidance, professionalism and business skills helped us get our dream home. He put us in contact with all the best companies and contractors. We felt comfortable using anyone he recommended because they seem as competent and honest as Paul. His help has not stopped at the close of escrow. He has continued to be helpful. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone who wants the best agent and the least amount of stress as they try to navigate through the home buying or selling process. Dr Michael & Marty W.

Kemp, Gregor together again
Vanderbilt teammates say being on Tri-City together has eased adjustment to pros
Published 11:43 pm, Friday, June 21, 2013
Tony Kemp and Conrad Gregor developed an undeniably close bond throughout the three years the pair spent playing baseball together at Vanderbilt.
"I can say that Tony's probably one of my best friends, if not my best friend," Gregor said. "From the time I met him freshman year to now, we've made a lot of memories together and had a lot of experiences."
After both were selected by the Houston Astros in this month's draft, Kemp and Gregor find themselves continuing their run together as teammates, but this time as members of the Tri-City ValleyCats.
"First I was shocked and surprised that I got picked where I did," Gregor said. "But when I found out, it was a surreal moment. It's one of those moments where time slows down a little bit."
Gregor, a first baseman, was selected in the fourth round — one round before Kemp, a second baseman, was chosen.
The pair were taking part in base-running drills with their teammates when they learned Kemp had been selected.
"It was an unbelievable feeling," Kemp said. "That was probably a top-10 moment being at Vanderbilt ... being on the field and celebrating with him knowing we went back-to-back rounds to the Astros."
Kemp enjoyed a tremendous final campaign with the Commodores. He earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Year honors and concluded the season batting .391 with a team-best 64 runs, 33 RBIs and a .471 on-base percentage.
"Knowing you have one of your best friends for the past three years coming into the professional organization that we're in now, it's kind of nice," said Kemp, whose older brother Corey played in the Milwaukee Brewers' system.
Gregor finished his junior season with a .308 batting average. He recorded 14 doubles, 47 runs, 48 RBIs and stole 21 bases.
Gregor said having Kemp along with him for his professional journey has helped make the transition much simpler.
"When you go into an unknown place, there's a lot of unknowns," he said. "Having Tony there has definitely helped ease into this transition. We're just thankful for the Houston Astros picking us, and they put us in a good place."
Gregor and Kemp found little trouble raving and sharing bits of information about one another.
Gregor noted his friend's love of candy, primarily Skittles, while Kemp added that Gregor is a "good cook."
In fact, Gregor has taken care of some of the cooking duties while the two room together in Troy, and he joked that Kemp no longer has to set an alarm clock in the morning — he wakes up to the smell of his best friend cooking breakfast instead.
When asked what Gregor's best attributes are as a player, Kemp said: "He brings to the game a keen eye. I say you can put him in the bigs right now because of how keen his eye is. He gets deep in counts. He really knows where the zone is."
Gregor highlighted Kemp's ability to pressure opposing teams on the basepaths.
"He makes things a lot tougher on pitchers," he said. "You don't want to put him on base because once he gets on, the pitcher's in for a long day."
The pair have just gotten started with their professional careers, but have certainly made an impact thus far.
Through five games, Kemp has been solid in the leadoff spot, batting .350 with a double, a home run and five runs scored. He saw his four-game hitting streak to start the season snapped in a 4-0 loss to Lowell on Friday evening.
Gregor's batting .250 with three runs and four RBIs.
"I couldn't imagine coming out of high school and being in this environment," Kemp said. "There's so many things that you go through in college that when you come here you're ready for. You're ready to go on the road. You're three years more mature. Vanderbilt has taught us so many things."
Tri-City, which is 4-1 on the season, visits Lowell at 6 p.m. Saturday before a trip to Connecticut for three games beginning Sunday.
"The future's bright for both of us," Gregor said, "and we just want to take it one step at a time."

A MULTI-MILLION pound plan to build a mental health centre on a main route into Liverpool was scrapped after attempts to buy land needed for the project failed.
The ECHO understands Isle of Man-based Derwent Holdings refused to sell the eyesore former Ian Skelly garage site in Edge Lane to Merseycare.
After many months of wrangling, the NHS trust decided to look elsewhere and is now in the process of buying the former police training centre in Prescot Road, Old Swan , which it will knock down to make way for its new mental health facility.
The breakdown in negotiations with Derwent Holdings will put the project back around nine months.
Sources at Merseycare said they were "bitterly disappointed" but the new site had some advantages which meant the project should not cost any more than originally predicted.
Architects will not have to go back to the drawing board despite the change of plan because the new land will allow the same design to be used.
But the setback is not the first to hit the regeneration of Edge Lane, which Mayor Joe Anderson has said is one of the main priorities.
Today the council insisted it was fully committed to revitalising the key corridor into the city.
John Doyle, from Merseycare's TIME (Time To Improve Mental Health Environments) project, which will invest up to £25m across several Liverpool sites, said: "It is going to take far longer than we wanted it to take because of looking at an alternative site.
"Edge Lane was going to be more expensive than elsewhere but we wanted it there so people saw it on the way into the city and it would reduce the stigma about mental health."
He added residents around Prescot Road were supportive of the plans.
Households have been consulted and a number of meetings involving ward councillors held.
It was hoped that work could have started in Edge Lane in January early next year. Work on the Prescot Road site will probably begin in October 2013.
Cllr Malcolm Kennedy, Liverpool council's cabinet member for regeneration, said: "We had to find them an alternative site to fulfil their purposes and be suitable for development."
Derwent Holdings could not be contacted for comment.

NYC firm hit hard on 9/11 gives $10M in Sandy aid
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City firm that lost 658 employees in the Sept. 11 terror attacks is donating $10 million to families affected by Superstorm Sandy.
Cantor Fitzgerald plans to "adopt" 19 schools in communities, some in Monmouth and Ocean County, hit hard by Sandy and give each family $1,000 to spend as they see fit.
Cantor Fitzgerald's headquarters in One World Trade Center were destroyed when terrorists struck the tower. The company lost two-thirds of its New York work force.
Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick says each family will receive a debit card with $1,000 on it.
Lutnick says he learned after losing so many employees with young children that help should come with no strings attached.
Lutnick will join Sen. Charles Schumer and other officials at Public School 256 in Far Rockaway on Thursday to hand out the first cash cards.

Wednesday letters: Pride, ho-hum about nupitals
Updated 7:19 pm, Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Oh happy day
Regarding "Mayor ties knot with longtime partner" (Page A1, Friday), I was filled with joy to see the picture of the wedding of Mayor Annise Parker and her spouse Kathy Hubbard gracing the front page.
They both looked radiant with happiness, as well they should, to be able, as Parker said, "to formalize our commitment to each other" after more than two decades of sharing their lives together.
Sadly, as your reporter noted, not everyone was congratulatory about the mayor's wedding. Commenting on the mayor's nuptials and on her recent extension of health and life insurance benefits to same-gender, legally married city employees, Harris County Republican Party Chairman Jared Woodfill was quoted as saying, "This is a mayor who is bringing California and New York values to Texas, and these are values Texans don't subscribe to."
Well, this Texan, for one, does subscribe to those values. It wasn't only joy I felt as I looked at that photograph. I also felt pride in my mayor and pride in my city. And I bet there were plenty of other Texans who felt the same way.
And I have faith that the day will come when the majority of Texans understand that what constitutes a true marriage is not the gender of the two people involved, but the depth of love and commitment they share. And along with that understanding will come the realization that denying same gender couples any of the rights and benefits extended to heterosexual couples is inherently unjust. And justice is a value that knows no state lines.
Becky Edmiston-Lange, co-Minister, Emerson Unitarian Universalist Church, Houston
Minding the city
What difference should it make to anybody as to what goes on behind closed doors of Mayor Parker's home? That's her business.
What the people of Houston should be more concerned about is what goes on behind closed doors when she meets with the City Council and others concerning the well-being of Houston. That's their business.
Lillian Shaver, Sugar Land
Give us a break
Why is there so much emphasis on the mayor's marriage? How many politicians in the past have had the coverage of their marriages blasted all over the news. Who cares? It simply someone getting married.
I am amazed that the TV station would go to the expense of sending a reporter and cameraman to report on the honeymoon. Give me a break!
When are we going to stop spotlighting on their color or sexual orientation? They're people like the rest of us.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Police have arrested a woman on charges of attempting to hire someone to kill her husband.
According to an arrest affidavit, Reena Patel, 34, has been charged with criminal solicitation of capital murder.
Around 2 p.m. on Wednesday Sept. 4, a witness called police to report that a woman, identified as Patel, was wandering around an apartment complex off Rundberg Lane trying to find someone to kill her husband.
The woman told police that Patel came to her and said her husband had beaten her and she needed him "taken care of." Another witness told police that she asked Patel, "Wait, do you mean beat him up?" Patel responded, "No, permanently."
According to witnesses, Patel also walked over to a group of teenagers and asked them the same thing. She allegedly offered them $4,000 to kill her husband and told them to hurry since her children would be home from school at 3:30 p.m.
An anonymous witness says the wife told them her husband was abusive.
"She showed bruises so I guess that's why we believed her," said the witness.
When police arrived Patel told them she had been shopping and got lost on the way to a friend's house, so she stopped to ask for directions. They brought her in for questioning, and police say she told them she was a dentist. She also told police that she and her husband have a loving marriage and denied any history of violence.
Officers then headed to Patel's house to talk to her husband, Biral Patel. He told officers that his wife had sent him a text message saying she had two more patients to see at work and he would have to pick up the kids from school. She also sent him a text message telling him to inform her when he left.
Mr. Patel said he called the dentist office where his wife told him she worked, and they told him they had never heard of her before. He mentioned that they had gotten into a fight the day before because he asked her where her paychecks were.
Police also contacted the Texas Board of Dental Examiners, and they said Reena Patel has never applied or been granted a license to practice dentistry in Texas.
Patel's husband also told police that he had recently taken out a $2 million life insurance policy.
Patel is being held on a $1 million bond. A protective order has been placed on her husband and children. She has also been ordered to stay 200 feet away from the family's home and her husband.

Having problems with your Digital Cameras ?
Please, the pictures can be seen on the camera, but when I attach it to a computer, none of the pictures will show.
please, help me because my boss need them.
Answers :
Difficult to advise in the absence of information (make/model of camera, type of computer, type of connection) so just a general idea-
Two options: connect with a USB lead or take the memory card out of the camera and read it with a card reader attached to the computer.
Using a USB lead, you shouldn't need a driver or other software. The computer can recognise the camera memory as a removable drive without actually recognising the camera as a camera. Try looking in "My Computer" for an extra drive (Under "Devices with Removable Storage") and opening that. There should be directories with picture files in them that you can drag to your desktop.
Many people find it more convenient to just take the memory card out of the camera and put it in a card reader, especially now that these readers are built into computers and printers. You can't get the pics from the camera's internal memory that way though.

Weak, afraid, and unable to look straight into people's eyes, a coward
I am for not stepping up; "For you, a thousand times over, " I'll apologize
and hope that you will forgive
me, Taking you son, Sohrab, into my home is a start to redeem
myself for the lack of respect I gave you; The change
that I am willing to make triumphs our friendship.
"Amir and Hassan: The Sultans of Kabul"; Under that pomegranate tree lies all our friendship
and memories; People who are cowards,
like me, couldn't possibly look to change,
we continue to run far away; however, deep down, we seek to apologize
to the ones we hurt the most. Redemption
is in a dark hole, but we ask the victims for forgiveness.
I ask myself, how could you ever forgive
me for framing you in stealing my things and for not accepting our friendship?
The thought of having to redeem
myself because "I was the monster" and the coward,
who left you to be raped by Assef is hysterical; again, I apologize
to you; selfishness kicked into me and I knew I had to change.
Rahim Khan said I could find a way to change
for my well-being. Too hard on myself, I had to forgive
myself and continue to seek for you apology,
and I found "a way to be good again" for our friendship;
That little 12 year old boy, that coward,
who you spent all your childhood with stands here to be redeemed.
"I became what I am today at the age of twelve, " I, who redeemed
myself by grasping Sohrab from Afghanistan at age 11 and changed
His whole life, looked passed being a coward,
but now I'm facing Sohrab's silence and waiting for forgiveness
from him; Sohrab is our friendship,
our family and I had almost left him in an orphanage; for that, I apologize.
"Harelipped kite runner", my friend, my half-brother, Apologies
to you, Hassan; "I have betrayed, lied, and sinned." Redeeming
myself because you had always thought about our friendship,
and I had always thought of my Baba, but now things have changed.
Even now, hand that "are stained with" your blood, you've always forgiven
me, cease the phases of the moon.
The old coward, who persists in apologizing to you, has been forgiven;
I have redeemed myself and have accepted the new change
in caring for your son; all of this breathes into our friendship.

Bosnia Says Three Arrestees Were Planning Suicide Attacks In Europe
(RFE/RL) April 18, 2006 -- Bosnia's state prosecutors today said three men arrested in the country last year were planning suicide attacks against Western targets in Europe.
They said the projected assaults aimed at forcing Bosnia, or another government, to withdraw forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Swedish citizen Mirsad Bektasevic and Turkish national Cesur Aldulkadir were formally charged last week by a Bosnian court. The indictment indicates the two men and their Bosnian accomplice, Bajro Ikanovic, were part of a wider European terrorist network, spreading to Denmark and Britain.
Denmark has arrested five young Muslims accused of belonging to the network. Three other people are being held in British custody as part of the investigation.
