Key drivers

  • April 2026 enrolled acres at 26,182,019
  • 27,000,000 acre conditional ceiling limits upper tail
  • 2026 FSA accepted acres imply near-cap pressure
  • Recent monthly levels drifted down after October jump
  • First-print monthly-change volatility sets interval

rule
Resolve from the first USDA FSA Conservation Reserve Program Statistics CRP Monthly Summary for September 2027, TOTAL CRP row, Acres column, reported as whole acres. Use the first print only; later corrections or revisions do not change the resolved value. The conditional resolves only if an enacted farm bill sets the CRP acreage ceiling at 27,000,000 acres for FY2027-31; if that condition fails, mark this cell unresolved.
