Brochure simplifies, summarizes conservation programs in
2002 Farm Bill
A simplified guide to conservation programs of the
2002 farm bill is now available. Conservation Practices and Programs
for Your Farm is an attractive, 8-page color foldout that ties
conservation practices to an overview of the farm bill conservation
programs available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A program matrix outlines eligibility requirements,
type of financial assistance, and producer obligations for eight major
USDA conservation programs.
The name of your organization
was one of more than 30 groups that saw the need and supported
development of a pamphlet that lists major programs and highlights their
value to producers in an easy-to-read format. The guide is meant for
agricultural producers— owners of small and large farms, ranches,
dairies, vineyards and forestlands— but will also be a handy reference
for USDA field staff, federal and state agencies, conservation
districts, conservation organizations, and technical service providers.
While it’s not complete enough to answer detailed
questions on individual programs, its overview gives producers a
starting point in deciding how conservation programs might help them
conserve croplands, improve water quality, and manage for wildlife on
private land.
The guide was produced by the Wildlife Management
Institute with technical help from the Natural Resources Conservation
Service’s Wildlife Habitat Management Institute.
Individual copies of Conservation Practices and
Programs for Your Farm are available as long as supplies last from name
of organization and tel. or contact address if supplying--or
from local USDA or conservation district offices. Also, order copies by
calling 1-888-LANDCARE, or from the web at www.nrcs.usda.gov
and clicking on publications. Electronic files of the brochure are on
the web at www.whmi.nrcs.usda.gov
