To encourage farmers to use best management practices on their farms, local offices of the NRCS and SWCD offer many types of environmental programs that provide cost-sharing or training opportunities. Many farmers have been provided with financial assistance to fence livestock out of waterways and to dig wells for watering systems. Others have expanded buffer strips around waterways, adopted controlled rotational grazing systems, and provided more wildlife habitat through these programs. Call your local county or regional offices to learn more about these opportunities. Don’t forget! Your customers care about your environmental stewardship - be sure to let them know that you participate in these programs!
