A bill has been introduced to expedite the process for emergency haying of CRP ground. This emergency provision is currently not available until after the primary nesting season ends August 1. The bill would allow emergency haying before that date if certain conditions were met. The bill was introduced by South Dakota Senator John Thune and Minnesota Senator Tina Smith. Co-sponsors include Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds and North Dakota Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer.
