The district manager noted that the management changes
required for inclusion in the MSHCP may be costly to
individual farms or ranches; however, he felt that the burden
of managing land under federal regulation that would result
from listing without the MSHCP in place would be far more
costly to private property owners (Dudek, personal communication,
2006). The second concern is land in the Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP)3, a designation which is controlled
by the Farm Service Agency.
