the csp was used on tribal and private working lands. all 50 states and u.s. territories in the caribbean and pacific basins had incorporated the csp. the program provides equitable access to benefit all producers, regardless of size of operation, crops produced, or geographic location. the csp helps producers maintain conservation stewardship and implement additional conservation practices that provide added environmental enhancement, while creating powerful incentives for other producers to meet those same standards of conservation performance. the nrcs believes "the conservation benefits gained will help farms and ranches be more environmentally sustainable and will increase the natural resources benefits provided to all americans."
