Since then we have developed a number of programs to educate our producers and promote sound environmental practices. The agency also supports your effort to use this information to encourage producers to adopt conservation practices and systems to address both their concerns and those of society. This approach is very similar to the NRCS whole farm and ranch planning program. We look forward to working with you to achieve common objectives. The visit was very informative and increased my knowledge of agricultural BMPs.
Public education is an important aspect for building bridges between farmers and the general public.
