what this changes

WHY IT MATTERS

Continuous enrollment makes conservation programs more flexible for farmers, which can lead to more land being set aside for wildlife habitat without the pressure of rigid deadlines or competitive bidding periods.

WHO IS AFFECTED

Farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners interested in wildlife conservation are most directly affected, along with local wildlife species that benefit from habitat restoration.
