The first three years you can mow any time during establishment. After that you can spot mow during the nesting season to address invasives. You just need to let FSA know.
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is not explicitly mentioned in the "Big Beautiful Bill" (H.R. 1). The bill focuses on budget reconciliation and includes provisions for agricultural conservation, but it does not address CRP specifically, according to the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation. CRP is set to expire at the end of 2025.
They will need to pass a farm bill. Last one was 2018.

There's some articles written on it if you Google it... Changes seem farmer friendly.
Looks like they did, includes changes to crp, PLC/ARC, Crop Insur, base acres, etc.... Not sure I understand what all of it means myself. For Example: a reduction in spending from conservation programs (-$1.8 billion, FY2025-2034), interaction effects (-$3.6 billion) and sequestration (-$2.2 billion). I heard they wanted to reduce NRCS dollars for helping people with program implementation efforts, I assume that's the "interaction efforts"? Sequestration application? Don't know....
