WASHINGTON, May 15, 2019 – USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup and will offer exten-sions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs.
“USDA offers a variety of con-servation programs to farmers and ranchers, and the Conservation Re-serve Program is an important tool for private lands management,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce. “CRP allows agricultural producers to set aside land to re-duce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.”
FSA stopped accepting applica-tions last fall for the continuous CRP signup when 2014 Farm Bill authority expired. Since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill last December, Fordyce said FSA has carefully an-alyzed the language and determined that a limited signup prioritizing water-quality practices furthers conservation goals and makes sense for producers as FSA works to fully implement the program.
Continuous CRP SignupThis year’s signup will in-
clude such practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of prac-tices approved for this program at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/As-sets/USDA-FSA-Public/usdafiles/NewsRoom/news-releases/pdf/SU52%20practices.pdf.
Continuous signup enrollment contracts are 10 to 15 years in du-ration. Soil rental rates will be set at 90 percent of the existing rates. Incentive payments will not be offered for these contracts.
Conservation ReserveEnhancement Program Signup
FSA will also reopen signup for
existing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) agreements. Fact sheets on cur-rent CREP agreements are avail-able at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/conserva-tion-programs/conservation-re-serve-enhancement/index.
Other CRP Signup OptionsFordyce said FSA plans to open
a CRP general signup in Decem-ber 2019 and a CRP Grasslands signup later.
CRP Contract ExtensionsA one-year extension will be of-
fered to existing CRP participants who have expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eli-gible for an extension will receive a letter describing their options.
Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which pro-vides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a socially disadvantaged group.
More InformationOn December 20, 2018, Pres-
ident Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and sup-porting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these changes as quickly and effec-tively as possible, and today’s up-dates are part of meeting that goal.
Producers interested in applying for continuous CRP practices, in-cluding those under existing CREP agreements, or who need an exten-sion, should contact their USDA service center beginning June 3. To locate your local FSA office, visit www.farmers.gov. More informa-tion on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp.
USDA Reopens Continuous CRP SignupExtensions also available to Many Expiring Contracts

Nancy NailMemorial Library
We have some new procedures when patrons come to the library. First, no one may enter without a face mask or shield. We will check the temperature of all patrons with an infrared thermometer. If temperature is greater than 99.5, patrons will not be allowed to use our facility. There is a hand sani-tizer machine on the wall and all patrons entering the library must use it before using any facilities. All chairs have been removed with the exception of chairs at the computers which are plastic and can be wiped down after each use. We have a thin ‘skin’ cover over the computer key-boards which allows for keyboards to be wiped down after each use. Restroom facilities may not be used for the time being. These items were approved by the NNML Board of Directors. They are posted on the door for all to read.
New this week:THICK AS THIEVES
by Sandra BrownTwenty years ago in the dead
of night, four seemingly random individuals pulled the ultimate heist and almost walked away with half a million dollars. But by daybreak, their plan had been shot to hell. One of them was in the hospital. One was in jail. One was dead. And one got away with it.
Arden Maxwell, the daughter of the man who disappeared all those years ago – presumably with the money, after murdering his accom-plice – has never reconciled with her father’s abandonment of her and her sister. After countless personal setbacks she decides to return to her family home near mysterious Caddo Lake, and finally get answers to the many questions that torment her. Little does she know, two of her father’s co-conspirators – a war hero and a corrupt district attorney – are watching her every move.
Ledge Burnet, a rebellious teen at the time of the heist, evaded his jail sentence by enlisting in the army. Now he’s back in town to care for his ailing father – and to keep his eye on the county’s corrupt district
attorney, whom he suspects was the real murderer. Although the two are bound to silence because of the crime they committed together, each has spent years waiting and hoping that the other will make a fatal misstep. But the arrival of their elusive accomplice’s daughter, Ar-den, who may know more about the missing money than she’s telling, sets them both on red alert. She ignites Ledge’s determination to expose the D.A.’s treachery . . . and sparks a desire he wishes to deny.
ROYAL by Danielle SteelAs the war rages on in the sum-
mer of 1943, causing massive de-struction and widespread fear, the King and Queen choose to quietly send their youngest daughter, Prin-cess Charlotte, to live with a trusted noble family in the country. Despite her fiery, headstrong nature, the princess’s fragile health poses far too great a risk for her to remain in war-torn London.
Third in line for the throne, seventeen year-old Charlotte reluc-tantly uses an alias upon her arrival in Yorkshire, her two guardians the only keepers of her true identity. In time, she settles comfortably into a life out of the spotlight, befriending a young evacuee and training with her cherished horse. But no one predicts that in the coming months she will fall deeply in love with her protectors’ son.
She longs for a normal life. Far from her parents, a tragic turn of events leaves an infant orphaned. Alone in the world, that child will be raised in the most humble circumstances by a modest stable manager and his wife. No one, not even she, knows of her lineage. But when a stack of hidden letters comes to light, a secret kept for nearly two decades finally surfaces, and a long lost princess emerges.
A fascinating story of family and royalty, and an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary young woman and the man who brings her home, Royal is an exhilarating work from America’s most beloved storyteller.
1ST CASE by James Pattersonand Chris Tebbetts
Genius programmer Angela Hoot has always been at the top of her class. Now she’s at the bottom of the FBI food chain – until her first case threatens everyone around her.
Angela’s graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on an-other student’s computer. Yet her mentor, Eve Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her – as an intern in FBI’s Boston field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats, one of only two agents in the North-east to make his rank before the age of thirty, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela’s skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability.
With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to “watch and listen,” Angela’s mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.
THE IRISH COWBOYby D. W. Ulsterman
A love lost. A family found.A life saved.
Hap Wilkes made a choice to sacrifice his own happiness in order to honor a vow. Since then he has lived a loveless life caring for the few animals that remain on his isolated Montana ranch while waiting each year for the return of the wild horses that make his land their summer home.
Haunted by memories of what could have been while fighting the constant onslaught of old age and regret, Hap suddenly receives two unexpected visits. One of them intends to take his land by force. The other hopes to give him another chance to know real love.
What happens next is a journey of loss, heartache, hope and re-demption, as masterfully told by bestselling author, D.W. Ulsterman.
THE HOUSE OF KENNEDYby James Pattersonand Cynthia Fagen
The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventur-ers, raised to take risks and excel, living by the dual family mottos: “To whom much is given, much is expected” and “Win at all costs.” And they do – but at a price.
Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have occupied a unique place in the American imagination: charmed, cursed, at once familiar and unknowable. The House of Kennedy is a revealing, fascinating account of America’s most storied family, as told by America’s most trusted storyteller.

NATIONAL PET WELLNESS MONTH
October may be filled with fall festivities and Halloween cos-tumes, but the month also cele-brates pets. We all want our animal companions to live long, healthy lives, and that’s why October is National Pet Wellness Month.
During the month of October, set aside some time to evaluate your pet’s health and make sure that you are helping them stay in great shape and keep them healthy all year round.
Here are a few tips to help:Make sure your home is safe for
your pet.Schedule a veterinary check-up.
A physical examination can catch any issues early and treat them before they become emergencies. Make sure your pet is up to date on all shots and medications, and a dental cleaning can also be a great idea.

Screams® Cancels 2020 Season
Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (July 28, 2020) – Due to the continu-ing COVID-19 health crisis and on-going outbreaks, Screams® Halloween Theme Park has made the difficult decision to cancel its 2020 season for the first time in its 25-year history. Screams® 2020 was scheduled to run Friday and Saturday nights, October 2 - 31, 2020.
During this unprecedented time, the owners and management of Screams® considered many options and scenarios to safely conduct its 2020 season and determined that the most responsible course of ac-tion to ensure the health and safety of their staff, employees, patrons and the community is to cancel the Screams® 2020 season. Screams® is extremely disappointed in the cancellation of its 2020 season but plans to be back in the Fall of 2021 bigger and better than ever to celebrate its 25th season.
Screams® Halloween Theme Park is 5 Haunted Houses and a Whole Lot More for an entire night of Halloween Fun. For more information, visit ScreamsPark.com or ScreamsPark on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Take-All Patchby Dr. Shane McLellan
McLennan Co. Extension AgentTake-all root fungus is active
in fall and winter when there is abundant moisture and moderate temperatures. However, symptoms are often expressed in late spring or early summer when affected turfgrass first experiences the stressful effects of high temperature and dry weather. This disease has the ability to destroy large sections of turfgrass if left uncontrolled. Controlling take-all is not easy and both cultural and chemical methods should be considered. Good surface and subsurface drainage is import-ant. Irrigate only when required, and infrequent but thorough water is preferred to frequent shallow watering. Do not water late in the evenings, start watering early in the morning (2:00 a.m. if you have an automatic system). If possible, adjust the soil pH in the upper root zone to a range of pH 6.0 to 6.5. Do not use a quick release Nitrogenfer-tilizer, as you are only feeding the fungus. My recommendation is for you to rake out the infected area and remove it. Spread Peat Moss over the affected area. A 3.5 cubic foot bag covers about 1,000 sq. feet. I have had success treating Take-All with Heritage Granular Fungicide (Azoxystrobin), Honor Guard Liquid Fungicide (Propiconazole) and Ferti-Lome Liquid Systemic Fungicide II (Propiconazole).

Think about your pet’s diet and exercise routine. Dog and cat obe-sity can lead to extensive health problems as your pet ages. Spend some quality time with your pet – walking, playing or enjoying the outdoors. It will do you both a world of good!
Our animal companions rely on us to keep them safe and healthy, so it’s important to do everything we can to promote pet health. This October, and all year round, make sure you are doing the best for your pet!
Result Demonstrationby Dr. Shane McLellan
McLennan Co. Extension AgentThank you to Nick Holy, Greg
Westerfeld, Mark Wiethorn, and Kevin Huffman for planting, man-aging, and harvesting our result demonstrations this year. Unfortu-nately, the East Side Corn Plot was hailed out. The plot looked great and Mother Nature had other plans for it. We also greatly appreciate our agriculture industry and their involvement in our educational programs. Thank you so much.
