CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) acres are usually off limits for grazing and harvesting, and hefty penalties can be charged if grazing and harvesting occurs without permission. However, during a severe drought or other extreme situations, the government may release the acres for emergency forage. I would contact your local Farm Service Agency or Department of Agriculture to determine your options, but it’s unlikely you can graze or harvest CRP land.
