Note: Values are adjusted for inflation using the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Gross Domestic Product Price Index. Categories include predecessor programs. In the 2018 Farm Act, the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) was converted to a discretionary program facing an annual budget constraint. For CSP contracts approved and signed prior to the 2018 Farm Act, fiscal year 2019 and 2020 spending represents ongoing obligations during the term of the contract rather than funding obligated the year the contract is signed. The chart does not include funding provided under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Fiscal year 2024 spending is estimated; fiscal year 2025 estimates represent enacted spending.
