Conservation Farm Option

Section 335 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act) amended the Food Security Act of 1985 (the 1985 Act) to establish the Conservation Farm Option (CFO) Program. The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) administers the CFO under the supervision of the Vice President of the CCC who is the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with concurrence throughout the process by a Executive Vice President of the CCC who is the Administrator of the Farm Service Agency (FSA). The CCC is issuing a proposed rule for the CFO. This proposed rule describes how CCC will implement CFO as authorized by the 1985 Act. The CCC seeks comments from the public which will be used to make revisions, if necessary, that will be issued in a final rule.
